I have 3 non-topped plants, 6 topped plants; however, the non-topped are slow starters and are stunted. I suppose I should have left at least one of the "main 6" untopped, but i dove right in and did all 6. My grow journal is in my sig and I'll have updated pics tonight.
So no, I don't have a great control so far, but that may change after sexing.

oh i also started giving them a bit of molasses... i had 5 gallons of water that tested about 6.5-7 ph from the fish tank... i added 5 tbsp to it and fed about 20oz each to the potted ones, a few oz to the untopped/stunted ones....
I cant wait to see how they turn out bongsmilie

tried topping lowryder2 ages ago.

heres my topped plant -



Notice how thin she is at 52 days. here's the non topped plant (same age) -



Both grown from the same seed batch, same light, soil, nutes everything.

Not very scientific, but best I can do.
thanks for the demo. to bad it cut your weight, it looks cool:mrgreen: that must be why the breeders say do not top them. i think i will let mine grow however god makes them:peace:

It looks like the topped plant stretched out alot more then the non-topped plant. Im going to start some under a light and see what results I can get after my currrent lowriders are done.

Looks beautiful!!! I have that growing right now. They are just about 3 weeks into veg. Sunday they go dark for 48 hrs and I start flowering. :leaf:
An auto flowering plant flowers under any light cycle..
How are you vegging it and then flowering it by switching the cycles?

Question about the light schedule... i had my autos under a 400MH 24/0 during veg and the last 2 weeks its been under a 400HPS 18/6 .... whats the next step? do i reduce the light or leave it like it is?

Ive noticed maybe 1 or 2 brown hairs on each bud all over the entire plant so its totally got some time to flower... ill post pictures in a moment... any suggestions?

Greenearth, I'd leave those at 18/6....
Actually though, 20/4 is the recommended time on most autos.
Might get a bit of stretching you dont want from goin 18/6... but hell if i know, it's all theory to me.
