Yer get some pics up mate... fly blind a bit here...Growmie wrote: βFri Oct 01, 2021 5:59 pmI think my first plant is almost ready to top, am I only literally taking the top node like in the video? The guide said to choo it all the way back to the second but I'm worried to do that.
Was I right in saying the cotelydons and the first set of serrated don't count?
I'll get a picture up when I can to see if you think it's time or not yet. Thanks mate.

Re: Topping Vs LST on Autoflowers.
With autos, you top after the 3rd true node, but best not to top if you're a beginner. Learn the basics first. Plus, LST is easier to do and less stress on the plant than topping.Benjic93 wrote: βFri Oct 01, 2021 7:02 pmTop asoon as she can handle it. Sooner the better.

Never give advice. Wise men don't need advice. Fools won't take it.

Thank you Aspie! So I just cut off the fourth node only?
I will I'm just reading as much as I can and might experiment with just one of the plants
But the third you mean, three up after the cotelydons or three up after the first serrated set? I'm assuming the latter?

Re: Topping Vs LST on Autoflowers.
No problem, mate. Check which strain is the longest growing and choose one of those as it will give the plant more time to recover.Growmie wrote: βSat Oct 02, 2021 12:11 amThank you Aspie! So I just cut off the fourth node only?

Re: Topping Vs LST on Autoflowers.
Should I top her now or wait till the node grows a little more? This is the fourth true node coming in. Sorry about the bad picture!

Re: Topping Vs LST on Autoflowers.
Thanks mate I'll top her tomorrow then. Although because of the slight stress do you think maybe I shouldn't top this girl?
