Auto topping thread,pushing the auto limits;)

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 own.u can top lst supercrop and defol autos with monster results if done at the correct time.oviously every plant is diffrent so always use the seed info as a rough guide and a short plant can yield just as much as a tall plant in this thread i will show u all along the way of the true limits of autos and there true potential as i grow them for u all to see.also if ur an auto grower who likes to push the limits,do speak up and all pics of ur autos and talk and all questions welcome on pushing the auto limits.here a few examples of the results achived topping an auto young followed by later lst.few heavy defols along the way ,gives u an army of dominant colas and a big heavy yield.and a beautiful plant.here is automazar topped and lstd

I wouldnt, if the plant is that old and that small it probably wont take topping well. From what I've been learning, you want to top Autos early usually before 20 days to give it as much time to heal and veg out before flower.

You topped an auto 20 times? That's mental mate. Been at this 3 years and never seen anyone do it more than once lol. You always do that or was it an experiment?

It's my first ever grow pal in a bubbleponics system. The description said 60 days from seed. When it wasn't even on flower at 60 days. It messed up my whole timetable. So I thought f**k it. I'll top it as many times as I can. It's either going to die or shock it into flower. She's 2 metre square now. Here are her roots system.

Haha that's quality mate. Yeah you just ignore the time frames for autos it rarely works out. My fastest in hydro has been 110 days from seed. Next time I'd advise just to do it the once then keep tying her down as she grows. You'll get just as many colas but they'll all be even bugger
Gobsmacked you got away with that like. She's a beast. How many watts up top?

It's a weird grow pal. Iv changed the room layout many times. She was under 2 x 300 LED. 600 w gavita and 600 w hps

I have the LED come on 2 hours before the gavita and 2 hours on after. To mimic sunrise and sun set.

Had to move the gavita for heat reasons. Now she's under 1 300w LED 2 300w hps and a 600w hps. With light spread out more..
