The New Autoflower Topping Thread

I know there's various ways. But for you guys how do you like to germinate your seeds. Has anyone ever just put a seed in a cup of water and let the tap root come out that way?
 
I have 3 Short Rider that autos in veg. Two are 16 days old and 1 is 6 days behind. The older pair have been topped at the 4th node and are being started on their LST. They definitely seem to have slowed after this stress.......is this normal? Just for this strain or all autos? Any advice would be appreciated ......I'm leaving the younger plant completely to see the difference under the same exact conditions.

I think alot of it may depend on the strain, my white widow and thc bomb loved being topped, on the otherhand i have seen a few journals on here were their autos slowed down quite a bit after topping. Im new to growing autos and growing indoors so thats just my opinion.✌

All of this is relatively new to me as well Tom. I started my autos because I thought I was going to have limited time and space as these are supposed to complete flowering in 44 days..... we'll see about that LOL. Turns out that my significant other was completely on board and I could have gone with pheno's. I guess we all love that sense of accomplishment . . This all being said, and being that this is the auto topping thread, I thought that I would put it out here that Short Rider Autos do seem to stunt after topping . I am also doing LST on them.
Here is a picture of one of them at 15 days.

I guess only time will tell.
 
I'm curious to know if anyone has tried topping any Fast Buds C4 Auto or G14 Auto? I'm planning on trying these or some Blue Treacle for my first go.

Edit: I guess the G14 wouldn't be a good choice since it's a Lowryder x G13 hybrid and some of you seem to have probs with the short riders.

That's good to put on here so people can see it. Its always good for your significant other to be on board, i am also lucky, she says growing keeps me out of her hair lol.✌
 
I dipped my top in root stimulant and now I have a viable clone of this one.....weird, just thought I'd try it. I'll post pics if she lives past a few days lol.
 
So I topped my short Ryder auto on day 14

Yesterday I took this photo of her. Although she is bushing up, I can't see her vegging a tonne more before she starts the flip.....what have I done wrong?

is it the early LST? Is it still too early to be wondering?
 
Made a mistake and gave my blueberry auto bloom nutes to soon but it was only once. My question is will that force my plant into blooming or can I switch back to veg nutes next feeding and everything be alright
 
Yea I had her on grow nutes up until I gave bloom nutes going off a feeding chart. But then off my own gut feeling and a little research I kinda figured I gave the bloom nutes to soon so I just wanted to double check and make sure it wouldn't force bloom and I could go back to grow nutes
