Ok, No HST on my very first autoflower. Now yes with my photo period plants I do all types of training. HST, LST, Super crop, Cussing At Her, Blaring loud music etc. etc.I don't tie my top down. I cut that bitch off

I topped my 1st autos. It was also my 1st grow with Quantum Board Leds and a bottom fed autopot system. Still crushed it. Topping is easier than lst IMO. Make one cut and let it go. No dailey messing around and no chance of snapping anything except the initual cut.

Ya don't say! That actually gives me a constructive idea!! Thanks, so I have 2 more of these wedding cheesecake autoflower beans. That I am going to run outdoor from mid may till finished. 5 G potted soil. I will top one and let the other go natural. I can't wait for Summer sunshine.

Do it. I love topping them. It's not a "rule", but the most common consensus seems to be by days 18 to 21. By than i usually have the 5th node comming in or almost a full node and i cut the 5th off leaving the bottom 4. Obviously if the breeder says Small or 30 to 50 cm i wouldn't top those, but anything more and i love topping them.

Do autos "stretch"?....if so I'd stop as they began to stretch n flower...if not when I'd stop when she started budding
