Top after pistils appeared? (AF)

[Shrederr]

Hey guys one of my auto blackberries showed pistils at day 23 before topping, and it's still on the 4th node, I wanted to top the 5th.

Should I skip topping for this plant or continue as usual and top the 5th in a couple days?

Hope you can spot the pistils in this pic

thanks everyone

I top my auto plants but i do it early
I think if you top now you risk a good delay
In flowering time , I've noticed when autos stress during flower they veg more all the way through .
That's just my personal experience .
I would stick to a heavier LST.

Could you elaborate mate? what exactly do you mean if they stress during flower they veg more? confused...

And how early do you top?
beans popped 23 days ago, so practically its around day 20.

With photoperiods I sometimes have a pistil or two before switching the clocks, may that be just the same thing and I still got some more veg time?

I've topped autos early, I've heavy LST and super cropped autos none really have shown any awfully long delays with those but i have broken limbs and cut off limbs (which might be like topping ) and they have shown long delays in flower with heavy amounts of green leafy growth instead , i am speaking of same strains growing at the same time .
Just personal observations

Aight matey i get that now but is day 20 when just two pistils out considered flowering? If topping now will extend the veg period ans not harm yield, im actually up for it. Tnx

Personal feeling here. If she's showing sex early, shes gonna run early. Will probably be shorter than the rest of the girls... might not want to top.

She's stunning mate, how much did she yield?

Agreed mate it's a plant and I'm sure it reacts to everything from feeding schedules to lights and of course stress... but I'm still a newbie with autos so I'll have to experience myself...
Maybe I'll top one of the three little ones.. so overall I'l have 3 topped plants vs 2 untopped and that'll be a nice experiment for me..
