I top my plants twice during veg, then leave them alone, and net between 4 to 6 ounces per plant every single time.
I am only new to growing so please bare with me I thought you could not top autos? Can you elaborate a little more for me please on your technique? Does it matter what variety auto you start with? Do you have any photos or journals of your grow I am very interested. Thanks

Maybe I am getting a little confused I thought topping and pruning were different? Thanks for the replies I am trying to learn as much as I can... cheers

Ten years ago I got some Espoma Garden Tone at end of season sale for $2 a bag. They are now in the big box stores and are a reliable high quality line. I also like Nitron and they are more of a nursery type supplier. I love their limestone because of the ultra-fine grind.
Nitron has some excellent products, been gardening with their stuff for awhile now.

I was reading on a grow journal and a fella had topped and transplanted and it was stunted it grew small buds and took forever to recover...So I would do what sinQ said experiment top and prune one and let the other grow wild ... I am not gonna prune or top mine I want it to do what it does naturally. I have pruned photoperiods and they didn't do so well so I don't think an auto will take to it to well. But it is your grow so just try it out c what happens I would think genetics and full life span would have something to do with how it reacts and performs
