After I saw that the first time I stopped being so scared of bumping or touching my plants. And if I break something, anything will help mend it. Toothpicks, bandaids, superglue, plant tape. Made it all easier for me. Thanks! Of course I also looked for resources to report you to the bad cannabis dad authorities.

I feel like the general idea of topping an auto seems to stem from a series of amateur grows that yielded poorly. I have seen autos being topped with great results, but Ive also seen some stunted growth. I personally, would not try topping unless I am fluent in growing autos, and know which specific strains recover best. I'm honestly struggle with watering these ladies, so I can see how the no topping stigma arises.

what you said makes sense. you can't just top any old auto and expect it to increase your yield.

i have had it work in my favor a few times. but I kinda dont like autos so I tend to treat em like shit or experiment alot with what they can handle as far as training and light schedule and feeding go.

I only run autos because I would not be able to maintain complete darkness without any leaks for a photo. These genes are so fussy and just exhausting. 5 weeks in and I'm pulling at my hair

understandable, just always remember to keep learning. if you have an opportunity to set aside some decent space for a tent or a room and start throwin some money at it in the right way. you can start pullin down some LBs. but LBs only come with photo-period genetics... I mean unless you SOG or mass plant autos, thats a waste of resources imo

totally agree. I'm doing my best to get a tent out here. Everything has to be exported and whatnot, also just ordering the lights is sketchy enough. I have plans for a grow room, but not anytime soon. For now its just a handful of genetics I managed to bring with me. LST has helped a ton, but still, no one talks grams anymore, its all about the sustainability that comes from efficiency.

It actually loved it , it grew 4 tops and totally healed. I didn't even splint it or anything. Just put it in the tent beaten and drooping.

I'm sure I was browsing an auto forum and they were discussing cloning autos which is also a no no

You can clone them but the clone will start at the stage the mother is in and go from there. So you end up with a small useless plant.
