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;)

hi!

sprouted 8 wedding glue autos from fast buds
decided to top them all

have topped photos but this will be my first time topping autos
will be following @Mañ'O'Green suggestion to top above forth node

with photos i would top at 3rd node and also remove the first and second node
is it advisable to remove any of the lower nodes with autos?

and if so would you do it at the same time as the topping or leave a few days in between for recovery?

You only need to remove what's close to the media or what you know will not make good bud. Usually, that is enough to get good airflow to the undergrowth.
 
I've topped two girls for the first time and they've done fine so far.

I have a mutant Linda Seeds Fat Blueberry. I finally cleaned her up her confused center section and it showed that she self-topped at the first node. I'll keep letting her run and top her when those colas get going.

I'd always take the bottom set off m8 and I'd do it when I top.
 
Hi @WildBill !
Thanks for you reply

So top at 4th and only remove 1st / 2nd if touching soil or jus not worth keeping

guessing that decision can be made once theyve had a chance to grow a bit more

N wow neva heard of a plant self topping before!?!

No do not remove lower branches they will be your big colas - 8 of them.
