What's up RIU, starting my 2nd grow, first auto and just want to get some opinions . Should I top my auto's or not? I've heard yes and no.. So whatcha think??
Thanks!!
 
Makes no sense to top autos because u dont get to choose when to flower.
So it doesnt really have the extra time to re grow what u cut off nevermind make extra tops.

Its the same as cloning autos.... Yes it can be done just doesnt make sense

some of the longer flowers like it .. and the big bushy types ...... really you have to grow the strain out a few times or do a side by side .... if your growing one plant i would just lst ......
if you have low vertical space or low light conditions then topping would help keep it short and a thinner canopy .......... i have 8' ceilings in my grow now so i just let them do their thing
 
i've topped many autos before they're 12 days old. worked fine. same yield but shorter in height than the one's not topped.

I have 7ft ceiling so height shouldn't be a problem.. I'm running 5 auto so I think I'll just top one and see a side by side.. Thanks guys..
 
i usually water when the pot lightens up a bit ....... auto's like dry periods between waterings and dont like to be soaked down ill water enough for run off once a week maybe other then that i just water a bit to keep the top half kinda moist

Thanks again.. I appreciate the replies..
 
seedling stage to a few sets of leaves im using a spray bottle to water
literally like 20 squirts twice a day while its laying roots down then " shallow " waterings dont soak it until it has a few sets of leaves
if the pot stays heavy let it dry out before you water again
