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;)

This thread is absolutely brilliant! I liked it so much that I have just signed up to the site!

AutoBeast, you're killing it ,man! I've always wondered about topping autos, with the little experience I have with growing them(which is just few outdoor grows the past three years and a couple indoor grows like 6/7 years ago), I did a small amount lst on a auto white widow xxl by Dinafem, which without a doubt helped. I kinda wish I had topped it now looking back.

I am currently trying to get a new grow going indoors, it'll be just one plant at a time as I am very limited with space as I am using a PC case to grow. so lst and topping will be a must for me and the fact that I 'll be using a 4 litre pot will keep the plant small - hopefully not microscopic haha which can happen with autos.

Have you had any success to root those tops as clones?
 
good day growers. i will say this. i dont undersand why this thread is not stickied anywere?? also this thread should be in the, autoflower myth busters section, and help growers guide section. but staff have never seemed to be on point. i have asked staff a few times for this thread to be in the correct places for growers to find it easier and for the love of autos. but still nothing? il keep doing what im doing for sure. for the love of afn and autoflower seeds. happy growing every1;) :pass::pass::salute:

forbidden welcome. yes u can sucessfully clone the top. of an auto. and will grow but nothing as big as a normal girl. iv never finished a clone. but have let them grow into the flower phase and looked abit dodgy. so got scrapped. was just a self experiment.if i had more room. maybe id do it again and fully flower 1 out. but yes it can be done;) happy growing
 
Great thread @autobeast ive read the whole thread through over the last couple of weeks. Thanks for putting it out there!!
