Not too much but absolute worse time for a heavy prune/defol. You maybe stunt their growth(stretch) with that now.
Next time perform it at least 3 days before flip.
 
thanks i feel so guilty after reading your comments xD i hope i did not stunt anything
Sorry was a little rough with my words :(
It wasn't ment to hurt your feelings.

What I love about autoflowers is, that you will end up with something.. but yield can be much less then expected, there can be seeds in it, the plant is super short or just look like trash the whole grow.
My record on a stunted auto was 2g's😂
In generell even doing them bad, they'll start budding sometime and y end up with some buds, if the impact was not too crucial.

Wouldn't say that in your case the plant is stunted but there is a possibility and slowed growth is for sure.
The Buds will show up soon and y'll get some good nuggets out of your beautys.
 
Yeah I think my record was 3g! It was one of my first autos and i light burned the top and it resulted in one puny nugget. I used to grow a shit ton of autos. Some can't take even a minor hiccup during that first 3 weeks without showing signs of stunting. I tried every method (topping\super crop etc.) and for me just basic LST was as effective or moreso than any high stress

my girls are not auto btw. But i will from now on only pruning 3 day befor 12/12 and after 3 weeks into flower thanks for this information!
 
No Dude, you'll be fine but yeah it wasn't optimal timing. Live and learn. They're going to bush out regardless
i should have asked here befor starting to do my own thing. You guys are level 1000 thank you guys

Haha yeah it was one of my first plants too..left it in the tent to see what happen to her.
Same conclusion I take from flexing around with autos, but still like them.

Damn, looks pretty neat. Don't see any stunted growth. They like that haircut 😁
Keep on rockin'

I didn't prune enough, now I'm 6 weeks into flower and my girls are very dense because I just staked the because they were falling over.
