Afghan auto topping experiment

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've learned that it's best to top an auto between days 14 and 21. Give it five or six days to recover and then LST can begin. What I need to remember next time is that topping at the 3rd node will produce six dominant branches, 4th node eight dominant branches, 5th node 10, etc etc.

Next time around, I'll top at the 3rd or 4th node. I topped this CBD Crack (now at day 50) at the 5th node at day 21.
Defoliation has been pretty heavy and pretty regular but having such a short plant (a little over ten inches) in a container that can't be rotated in such a small space makes LST and defoliation kind of a pain in the ass. But, as far as pains in the asses go, this is about as enjoyable as they get.

I am new grower, first plant drying. Only have grown autos so far, interestingly, all of the first 3 plants have started to act squirrelly around 30 days. Big fans turning yellow, and/or brown spotting. I "adjusted" the first a lot, the second less and am going to just let 3 go with just water for now.
