Man we werei think the root of stressing out over topping and transplanting autos is just how quickly they start going into flower once growing. But they all dont go straight into flower right away either. Some will veg on for a good bit first.
Technically, every piled up stress factor is GOING to damage end yeild in one way or another on an auto, thats just how it is with them. Technically thats just a fact, and you dont have the ability to prune and continue vegging or clone and try again like with a photoperiod. This creates paranoia in newer growers i think. Not 100% sure, but its def the root of that.
Ive never stressed it much the few times back in the day i grew autos, but i do recommend to new growers especially, to just start them in whatever pot you want to finish them in, and to just let them grow however they want to grow aside from some LST if you so desire. Probably leave the sc and topping/fimming out of the equation, but there are some autos that will respond nicely to it out there, they just arent the more common "tiny plant under a single led panel at 18/6" variety of auto done 8-10 weeks after the seed first pops pulling an ounce or two at finish.
A newer grower would also take a statement like ^that^ as if it were the law too most likely.
Speaking on herer. I mainlined a few to 16
And they were amazing. If you balance it right and the plant doesn’t yell, the amount of veg growth auto push in flower is rowdy sometimes. So if you are familiar with it, I’ve pushed them and definitely beat expectations.
The last pics wer about 3 days out from chop if I remember right. A gift from a friend. These are auto
