The New Autoflower Topping Thread

Okay, you can top B for sure, A looks like it may need another day for that next node to be big enough to cut but if you think you can do it...do it. C would have to be topped ASAP, that top node is a little bit bigger than I would want, but Id still do it.

Well, in my very non-professional opinion I'd say it was too old to top for an auto, but only time will tell. Each strain varies so much it's hard to say that yours won't be a late flowerer and you'll get a great harvest.

Those are not quite ready to top. The 1st one should be ready in a few days, but the second one may have a week.

I don't know where most people start counting the 14 days, maybe it starts when you see the first true leaves? I start counting when they first pop out of soil, and I top around 3 weeks.

I also count from sprout. Thanks for the tip
 
I would top em at that size. I have had success micro-topping at the 2nd node also. I like to get em as early as possible to give them plenty of time to heal up before they take off. I only micro-top on strains I've done before. I know how they act, for the most part, and know they can take early topping. New strains i wait til the 2nd or 3rd nodes are growing in

They both look ready to top, definitely the first one. The second one can be done, as long as you you feel like the 3rd node is big enough to cut easily. If not, I bet in the 8 hours it took me to respond it got a little bigger so heck maybe she is perfect now.
