Well, you've been doing this indoors since what, last year? I started my first indoor grow Nov. 30th, 2010...I've grown outdoors, but it's a whole different ballgame. I'm still running all CFL's and about to be getting my 400w in a week(hopefully ordering friday), so you probably have more indoor experience than I do...But I think they look fantastic!

But I'm chopping this bud tomorrow...it's an outdoor Auto (G13 labs "NL Auto") that accidentally got topped by a cuddly bunny rabbit...

Yeah, not a good idea to top Autos, it reduces their yield. Because they start to flower after a pre-determined amount of time, you don't want to do anything that stresses out the plant or slows growth at all. It's cool to top regular plants because we can just veg them till they're big enough, but Auto's need all the growth they can get. It's all good though, I'm sure you'll still be plenty happy with the plant and yield...I know I'm not too disappointed. I just know if the bunny didn't nibble on it, I'b be getting at least 3x-4x the amount I'm gonna get now. Oh well, I have other plants outside that will hopefully yield a little better. And my indoor is going too, I have like 11 little 4 week old plants, and 9 new seedlings I just germed last tuesday...But your plants are way bigger than mine!

Probably, buy I have a habit of crowding plants too close together...lol...I'd go for it, it really depends on how long you veg and how big you want them to get...And growing medium/methods.

I've got two 5 gallon bubble buckets, an 18 gallon 5 site DWC(with 3 occupied sites, currently), 7 little plants in the square dollar tree pots that I just transplanted from 5 inch potsI bought at the 99 cent store, and 4 little clones from my outdoor girls in little 5 inch pots, waiting in limbo to go to my mini veg/mother tent under a bunch of T-8's...I have a stool in my grow room, this is my view...

And I have 9 more seedlings to add, once I set another CFL light fixture...And like I said, hopefully ordering a 400w tomorrow!

I just went back and looked at the pics, I wouldn't top them, you wanna maximize vertical growth and topping them will make them even more bushy...I dunno, you should probably switch now, but maybe you could raise the lights to try to get them to stretch vertically a little first? It's up to you, what kinda yields do you daydream about???

How big were they when you flowered back with the CFL's? LOL...it's gonna get pretty crowded in there, you might have to do a bunch of pruning to increase airflow...I dunno, I had some PM issues with my last crowded DWC crop, so i'm trying to avoid that this time around...that and I have a new flower room since then.

As fas as topping autos its a debate..I topped 1 becuz the bitch was a beats over 4ft grew past my light...It took a long time 100 days but it was a haze auto that takes 80 days normally..Point being i got over 3 zips compared too 1.5 avg on the rest so im not sure about losing any yeild and have seen a few others that have topped and they did good as well...I wouldn't cramp the room either if i were u, u might have more probs this way boss, cuz u cant always see the back plants that well and hard to move them around...JMO...I have 5 photos going now and had 6 autos both are cramping the shit out of my 4.5ft Lx 3ft Wx 5ft h closet...They are in 3g mop buckets from dollar tree... I know now that i should have only done 3 photos and 5 autos..Live and learn right..But ur plants look really nice keep up the good work..

I wasn't debating topping...I love topping, I love LST, I love letting plants grow na-tu-ral-ly!! (I think that rhymes)...lol...Anyway, topping is great if you want bushy plants, but he's gonna get real crowded in there when they do their flower stretch...lol...It's all good, it's gonna be like a wall of bud, you'll have a great time Buddy!
