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

As the cold, dry weather approaches, my RH will drop into the high 20's and low 30 precent range. My growroom is too crowded to ad a humidifer and I've tried small units in the tent. they were more work than they were worth so I just live with it for the winter. I'll lower my temps a bit, anything to reduce transpiration a bit. Actually, a towel and a bucket of water worked better than the humidifiers did!

I've attached a piece of ducting to my humidifier outlet and fed it into the intake of the tent. Helps if you dont have any room left on the tent floor.

Just wanted to stop by and say thanks for this thread and the education.
I read every post in this thread and decided to attempt my first grow .

I topped my plant today at 4th node on day 15.The grow has been going great but I think I should have waited an extra day or 2.Just got so excited to top and ramp things up.

And thanks to everyone that posted in here, learned a lot from questions and the answers.

@sickzone lol, I just did the exact same thing, I said I was going to wait another day or two at day 14 but instead I went back in and topped my Blackberry Kush, that was a tighter squeeze than yours. You have in fact topped at the correct time no worries at all. There would be no point in waiting later. Don't be afraid to take a early fan leaf or two off if it looks like it is getting a bit dark underneath.

Yeah,I saw your post and thought oh crap I should have waited.lol
I topped 15 mins before lights out and checked an hour after lights were back on and saw growth and felt better.

Funny this thread is about to hit the 4 year anniversary and I still read info that says do not top autos.

One of the biggest most perfect plants I ever grew was 4 nodes tall i went to LST it and snapped her top 3 nodes off. At one point I counted 60 colas. I think it was a Trans Siberian Auto.

@autobeast taught me how to top an auto several years before we ever heard about AFN. I got banned from another popular forum for espousing the virtues of topping an Auto. I was told not to be telling people to top an auto because their "livelihood" depends on their crops and the method was not sound . I guess that still pisses me off a bit that they are so close minded.

Exactly why I left.i took so much sh1t from admin and members on there.nearly made me sack everything off.but I knew that I had to share my findings of autos.and that 1 day people would see the truth of the auto limits.was the same when I first joined afn.i was told u can not top autos with success.took alot.of shit.but like I said eventually people see the truth.never doubt urself even when others do.is what I have learned.4 years and now every1 is topping autos just as I said would happen aswell.and still.see many growers eager to learn the true auto limits.makes it all worth it to me.happy growing every1
