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;)

So just to be clear without going back pages and pages. Does the first node start counting the single leaves? Obviously not the cotyledons but the next set
yes dude lol, I count the first single finger serrated leaf node, as the first node.....Happy growing dude:d5:
 
“The torture king” .... I got trust issues fam lol

going to top one for a comparison vs lst only

Do you just top your plants once and then LST?

Yes I topped once above the 5th or 6th node can't quite remember. I didn't really scrog I wouldn't say. Just used the trellis to spread the canopy oprn near the end of preflower stretch. It's my first go at topping so I was just making it up as I went along. I call it lazy scrog :rofl:

LOL Thanks. I have just counted 4 definate nodes on my two girls, the 5th is on the way. I might top them when they reach 3 weeks old and hop it makes the training easier. I havent bent them over yet as think they need to grow another 2 inches They are 17 days old today, getting very bushy and the bottom leaves are huge..... been watching loads of videos on LST but every ones plants seem much lankier and more bendy than mine. My stems are over a cm wide already so worried they will snap! I hope I grow some confidence, dont want xmas trees :)

How do autos react to squeezing, breaking up the inner section of the stem and bending over?
