Forget topping that SOB....rip it out of the soil...Run it through a meat grinder, then use it as a fertilizer in your next grow....















































Just kiddin'....don't think you can top autos man....Good Luck.

You can top it if you do it early.

Is that 2 1/2 weeks from seed? Like right when you planted it (after germ)? Im growing my first auto...and I im starting to doubt its actually a auto. I don't know the growth rate with them. Im at 9 days and im only getting my second set of leaves.. Its not even close to yours.

I would say yes, it's too late to top. As posted earlier, it's said you can top auto if you do it early. In my experience that makes them take an extra 1-3 weeks to finish. But I'm sure others have more experience with autos, as I've only grown a couple.

Thanks man, I ordered from herbies this time. Hopefully their autos are actually auto lol Im pretty sure it wasn't me or anything I was doing to cause slow growth... Mine are not even close to that.

Thank for the help!

Do not transplant and I wouldn't necessarily top an auto . You may stunt it's growth a tad bit . I have cash crop auto from cream of the crop seeds and did a test on it recently. The one I topped came back with 2 shoots but is much smaller than the other 2 !!!
