Topping autos

It’s hard to tell since I never saw pics pre-topping. (Sorry just went through this thread :joy:) but when you did top it looked like maybe the technique was off? It looked like you cut through mid stem instead of just taking that bunch that’s on the top. I could be wrong. But after thinking about it, it seems that could have stunted your plant. Either way, it’s turned into a nice frosty lil thing!

This pic has a good reference for the only part i would cut off especially if topping an auto:

Every auto is different this one didn’t respond well to topping at all , i have 5 more seeds and won’t be topping or doing any training at all .

This is a great read, I am thinking about trying an auto but I did a topping on this grow and wonder if I would be topping again if I choose to do an auto next

Depends on the strain @vegetato is my go to for my autos hes given me loads of information … regualr feminized seeds have the best with training , some autos just dont do good training wise. I have alot more of these bad boys and I will keep growing them until I get the method down . This specific strain doesn’t like topping at all nor low stress traning , feel free to ask questions , look at the seeds spec sheets to see what is best !
