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 would start on the higher end so you don’t burn them with the light. But I’m a newbie. Someone will have a better answer than me I’m sure.

BTW decided to top my Auto#1 at node 5 day 27.

Not necessary less light but they are a little more sensitive to stress so just keep an eye on them for bleaching or curling :)

I don't think you can be that specific to cover all manufacturers AND all strains of weed.
It is more a case of 'If you see the first signs of light being too close (usually canoeing), lift the lights a bit. Once you figure out the lowest you can use the light without damage, lift it another bit to encourage vertical growth'
