Auto Topping LED Grow

Hey Beast,

Just posting progress on Doobie Girl (Auto Durban Poison). 16 days old, 3 nodes, should I wait for a 4th? I don't want to miss my time frame and have it go flowering on me before the snip. LOL

She looks perfect for a topping, and where I did my four in my second journal. All seem to have loved it.

You could try opening up the next node a bit and seeing if you can do a microtopping on the four, it's likely already there. Too delicate for my fat fingers and coffee shakes, but you might have better luck. You'll know quicker if it worked or not, and can always fall back to just removing it back at the top node you have now.

Just my thoughts, inexperienced as they are. :)

Oh, one other thing, I've found bending one way then the other works better for me than cutting as it allowed me to stay farther away from the delicate new growth tips that will become your new tops.

Thanks arteekay,
My teeny tiny fingers work pretty good with topping, my fingernails come in right handy. LOL The last time I was going to top an auto I had a little trouble with stunting it, by the time it got big enough it had already gone into flower. So we opted out of it. I want to be hoppin' ready this time.
I looked at the top node, I could easily top it, but wanted opinions on whether to wait a bit or not.

You and I keep running into each other...everywhere. :laugh::laugh: It's a nice thing. :thumb:

I've been accused of being all over this place, whether that's a good thing is a matter of opinion. :)

I'm in love with the satisfying teeny POP when doing topping by bending. I didn't find a fingernail nearly as satisfying. hehehe.

Oddly, I don't think we've run into each other in either of our own journals, just everyone else's. The power of :420: at work for sure.

:high-five:

Hi , Canna , perfectly done ,:goodjob:
The only difference i have found with topping at the 3rd or forth node is that the amount of lst training with four is a lot more than 3.
also if space is an issue i would top at the 3rd set .
Be safe .
 
Thanks guys! :)

Sonic, space isn't an issue. There's plenty in that room for an auto. Not sure if I'm going to LST or not, I want to see how it structures out first. I think the next one in the room will be LST'd just to try it. It's too bitty yet, just sprouted a few days ago, it's a Fast n Vast auto.

Sweet , forth node it is then , if you are letting this go natural it will be interesting to see how she grows .
I will have to admit i like to lst as i get lots of hands on time with my girls .
Be safe .

Oh yeah, I hear ya there. I LST and do some topping on all of the photo girls. It's quite relaxing.

I'm sorry Canna , I should not be advising you , you probably know more than i do .

Oh stop that! :laugh: Autos are new to me, so any and all help is greatly appreciated! My first two tries were not what I had hoped.
It's different with them because of the time frame. Photos can be manipulated forever in veg, Autos....nope. I appreciate your input.

Do you do a 20/4 light schedule for yours?

Yes i do now , I started out thinking , auto's great just give them lots of light 24/0 , but now after watching my previous grows i believe that plants need to sleep .
I know i'm getting better but the plants just seem happier on 20/4 .
Be safe .
