Yeah it has 2 shoots and will be fine Imo you shouldn't top autos. They are on a clock and anything you do to stunt them you won't get the time back.

Generally speaking, that soil is good for about 5 weeks of nutes.

Wait until you see early signs of deficiency. Never used it but gonna guess at least a month and a half.

That is some of the most impatient topping i have seen. Next time wait at least 3-4 more weeks. And know why you are topping. Always good to geow the first ones out naturally to know what to expect. Trying to control the grow too much tends to fail.

And ocean forest if not watered too often can supply nutrients for 4-6 weeks with a young plant and 2-3 with a mature one.

And dont add cal mag unless you actually get a calcium or mag deficiency whichbis unlikely with ocean forest and tap water.

Hope this helps.

Yes I was impatient and I have to pay the price for it with a jacked up plant. I’ll make the most of it. I popped another bean and I’ll leave this one be

personally I would never top a auto...I'm doing my 1st run in coco with Autos but with a 60-70day life, i dont want to stunt growth. With my photos, I treat them like dirty little S$u☆s and torture the hell out of them at times lol. Since I can keep it in veg for as long as I choose. Personally just LST with autos, why stunt growth when you're on a deadline...so many other issues to try and grow a perfect crop in 60 days to deal with

Have to be careful Mr Canucks Grow...grows autos and photos. I dont recall him every Topping a Auto grow....I do see growers who train them like photos just imo you're hurting yeild potential by shocking the plant

like my photos you could always try your self...grow 4 of the same strains of autos...main line 1 Fim 1 LST 1 and let one go and see how they turn out....what works for one strain or person might not for another.

thanks for the tips. I was going to trash the plant cuz I thought she wouldn’t grow anymore honesty.. it’s a small plant but the roots are poking out the bottom of the 2 gallon pot. Seen growth in 24hours. I can’t believe it after all the damage I have done toher
