Afghan auto topping experiment

[Damtrucker]

Wanna see for myself what topping an auto does. Tried to FIM this one, think I just stopped it.
1st...day I cut
2nd...next day, plant looked all wilty today
3rd...current, plant back to normal look

 

[Damtrucker]

Topped, not stopped

Topped Monday, by Thursday seems like back to normal to me.

You might have to fix the top on the fim, its happened to me twice where it wouldn't grow after i fimmed poorly. Better off sticking with topping.

Yea, it looks like fim failed. I will just let it go as is.

I think you'll be fine. I probably did mine worse. Fim is confusing as hell.

Day six after topping.

Last bend I think

Took less than a day to turn back skyward.

Looking ok

This is anatomically incorrect, the stem ends were the last set of leafs exit. Why fiming is so confusing right here.

So my last 200+ successful FIMs were all wrong!? Jeez man I snip the tops with my finger nails and get most of them working fine. It's so easy I don't hardly think about it now and works just like that pic I posted.

Nothing confusing about it except that you are confused and it confuses me why. Now I'm confused!

I hope it does work cause i doubled down to make up for the last time failing. I was feeling confident.

Looking not bad on the first pic but kind of gnarly on the 2nd. Time will tell tho and the worse that happens is you get two new tips like a normal topping.

After 100 tries it goes easy and you never worry about it.

I top my autos (super auto) all the time to keep them short. Otherwise they'll wave the flag at 12 feet.

Seems like you're spamming seeds on poor unsuspecting nOObies.

Shame! Shame! Shame! On you!

Oh here we go again... The minute something good comes along, there's always someone shitting on it. Well go shit in someone else's box will you?

I've been growing bulk for 47 years off and on. You're bound to come across something special in that time don't you think?

Here's some in 3 gallon smart pots (with 2 gallons of soil). The one on the left is 6' tall.

This was my seed run. My wife is in the background. She's 5'11"

Want a cola from a full grown autoflower?

Here's an average plant.

Enough said.

And quit hating on everything I post you douche.

I make one comment on one post and I'm hating on everything you post? Who's the d-bag here dude?

You're still shilling your seeds without being a paid advertiser and if I was really a douche I'd hit the Report button and rat you out.

I'll let your own assholiness do yourself in.

Ive had worse happen, all my tops struggled and the rest of my branches grew up around the struggling tops.
