If you top they can run into problems, tie top down far enough to be below main stem, this will cause hormone in tip to drain away and disperse through all secondaries, plant will bush out and not stunt growth, if they stunt you will get very little off of them. I only LST autoflowers. As it grows continue tieing top over until you have a bush. Hope this is helpful. This is the best way to get most out of autos.

They can get pretty big this way. Hope you get to experience that for yourself. I just smoked auto that I didn't lst it was 10 inches tall at harvest,lol. I did get about 40 or so grams dry off of it. Rock hard nuts. I was impressed. You can clone autos, don't listen to hype that you can't. I chop off bottom branches just as they start to flower, and they can be pretty good.

Yessirrr Auto clone 3oz yield
Check out my thread in the link below. I documented the cloning of an auto.
With my experience, if you cut it.. it stunts a few days.. I would not wait til 3 weeks into veg. What if the clock is set for that strain to initiate flower in week 3? You can end up flowering right after recovery, and be stuck with only the branches left & no main cola (Well.. a new main cola... but it will be punished by the cut.) I did cut at 3 weeks myself, but I got lucky. The plant went 4 1/2 weeks before it began to flower. almost 8oz between the clones, and the mother. 1 seed
Okay yeah that makes sense. I see how it could harm your yield if it's a faster auto, thanks for your positive input, and that's badass and you ran clones as well off the auto?Yessirrr Auto clone 3oz yield

Yes.. the clone was an 82g yield. The mother was 132g.

These are the clones. 
This is the mother when I cut her on 11/1/20
Here's the mother right before chop on 1/13/21
I don't think it hurt her at all. Look how fat the nugs on the main cola are? They didn't grow into a long traditional cola due to super-cropping.
Chunky and heavy.. just that piece alone. (Didn't weigh wet.. just sayin)

Not topping autos used to be a no-no but not any more. The following thread (and my own experience) confirms that.

Here's an easy feed schedule for autos.

If you're serious about growing autos, you should really join the AFN as a lot of people here on RiU pass on some bad info on autos.
Good luck!

Good day growers im a master photo and auto grower.but my passion is with autoflower seeds.i been on a mission for 5 years growing now trying diffrent methods of training on autos to see what they truly behold.truth is autos aint no diffrent to a normal plant other than they flower on there...

TaNgs EASY Auto Feeding Schedule.
Heres a nice easy feeding schedule with very few ingredients that can grow big plants...... all you will need is a good light soil mix,I've developed this with Plagron Light so that's what I would suggest, a reasonable water supply, mine is PH7.4 and EC 0.4 most tap water will be around this...

I hope you aren't insinuating my advice was bad. Most new growers can barely get to harvest never mind implement HST like topping.Not topping autos used to be a no-no but not any more. The following thread (and my own experience) confirms that.

It can all be done if you are a competent grower, which most new cannabis growers are not yet.

No, not at all. I'm sorry if it appeared that way.
Okay that good to know
I see the result those are some fat colas , fucking nice!
Yeah I've grown photos I have several harvest already , I generally don't ever struggle with any deficiencys or anything really , my plants tend to be healthy growing is pretty easy. Rn I'm making some feminized seeds and wanted to try some autos since I've never grew any and I like knowing what I'm doing when tryingNot topping autos used to be a no-no but not any more.

Nice, I didn't know Ethos had autos. Great genetics you should have an awesome plant.
Overall I treat my autos like photos. Transplant, defoliate, LST, supercropping if needed etc. As long as you have a healthy plant they'll be fine.
The only difference is autos flower based on genetics not light schedule.
