I Have a Question about Topping Autos

[user 65379]

Who here "Tops" their Auto Flowering Plants and Who Does Not. Does it make that much difference in Yield?
Thanks In Advance

Just bear in mind. An Auto only lives so long. From the time it pops it's head up,,it's days are numbered,,,unlike a Photo period plant.
And be careful because they stress very easily and will stunt if stressed to much.
I never trim my Autos.
Carty is the pro when it comes to Autos. Maybe he will chime in.

Yes WH is correct I do not top autos. They hold a grudge.

Iv been doing autos and I'm starting to think topping is to much stress if you just lst from the earlyveg stage they will explode almost like you topped my last diamond milk was not topped and my yield was better . I am a newby rookie but I do believe topping isn't a great idea I also read an article with proof we're it makes the plants life not as long someone did a side by side exp. Topped an auto and lstt one and the one that was topped went almost directly into full force flower the lst one stayed for almost two weeks in pre flower loading itself up with lots of flower bud sites and getting larger also.

Thank You. You confirmed what I was reasoning. Since they are so small anyway and dont have time, it didnt make sense to me.

This was a Zkittlez auto that i supercropped AND topped after the supercrop.
Yield was 11.5 ounces.

My largest auto to date.

I either supercrop or top my autos. Any time i havent done so i was super disappointed with the yield

And when it was all said and done did you end up with about 3 ounces?

I was wondering the same seriously cause 11.5 oz I want those genetics unless your running hydro I think then that's possible

That was dry weight at 11.5 ozs.... ive never even weighed a bud wet, yet alone an entire plant.
Worst part is that was an ilgm auto so it wasnt even that great

Your killing it dam you running hydro or just soil do you have any grow threads if not you should show us a start to finish grow with an auto maybe I can learn a little because mine are babies compared to that fire smoke but two oz usually also I have a dsmall area

Ilgm is a site to get seeds I'm guessing there not the best but wonka still got a huge yield most people don't get that much from one photperiod do they ?

You auto guys are funny, be sure you’re in bed early when Santa Claus comes. And for the record, aint no way that was 75% of a pound.

I got a pound from a sugar haze grown outside was over 5 ft tall.

That’s believable. Whats sugar haze? Is it an auto?

I had an Auto come in at 10 OZ one time a couple years ago. It was a Bruce Banner from Seedsman. It was outdoors though.
