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

Talking about Topping, this one is a Top from one of the plants from my grow that I have grown in my kitchen window along with a bunch of cutlings, I moved them up to the tent today to finish the Top off with 24/0 Light.

Non alcohol beer and weed together best kind of mix you don't need that alcohol stuff just good smoke and a fizzy drink that mildly resembles beer, good show:smoking:

Great thread friend. Very informative. I am going to try this on a couple of plants. I have a quantity of 2 2x4 tents. If you don't mind sharing; what is your tent size?

@Autobeast thanks for putting all of this incredibly valuable information in a thread that we can all learn from - really appreciate it.

Does it make a difference in the timeline for topping, etc based on whether the plant is indoors in a grow tent or an outdoor grow?

Yo autobeast! You're a big source of inspiration bcoz after reading the whole plot in this topic, I gained SO MUCH knowledge about autos
That said I already topped my Northern Lights auto from fastbuds at day 18 and it looks like I got that right timing
I added some pics to share with you my succes!
This time I chopped above the 4th node and I reckon that the next time I have to chop a smaller piece to have even better results!
My thoughts about it are that the smaller the piece you chop the less you stress the plant.
Otherwise why fimming causes less stress than topping?

Do you guys start counting days at seed emergence, or at first sign of true leaves? Just want to make sure and nail the 15-20 day mark. I read quite a bit and didn’t see the answer.
Also do you guys count they very bottom branch (not the cotyledons) as part of the 4 nodes.
Thanks a ton. Great job by all pushing the auto limits.
cheers

Personally I count from the first set of true leaves

As regards this, I have a question.
I usually count day 1 as soon as the seedling poops out the soil.
I know you said that you're counting day 1 from the true set of leaves, but watching some of your diaries your day 1 is even earlier than mine, as you count it from the moment you put your bean in the soil.
At least that's what I've understood
So, my question is about when to start counting day one in order to catch that 14-21 day window for topping?
Thank you very much 4 all autobeast! You're a legend
