I dont know too Much about auto Flowers but it looks like you could top that plant right at that nide and it would be even with the other plant...and then if you have rooting compound you could have a whole new plant while getting 2 colas from the one you just topped...but again I dunno if topping is a good thing for autoflower plants since they are on their own schedule and all...If people blow this shit up and tell you cant top Id say an easy way to LST for now would be some bread ties cut out a small whole in the top of the pot and then connect some bread ties together so it can reach the plant and then bend it over about 45 degrees or so

I start Kat when it's like 2 inch tall (after 3rd leaf set) and go from there I think personally that plant is too tall now and it's in flower so abit late. Could try to top it mayb but don't if that's even a good idea when in flower

dont top your auto bro it wont make new bud sites like it wud if it were a normal strain..unless someone can prove me wrong?


just let em grow bro..i wudnt go with auto unless u have a small space, or u want a short turn around time (who doesnt) its hit or miss on the yield with auto ive seen good and bad but online says it yields way less than actually does..they base it on the max yielding plant in perfect conditions.

Yea Ive never done Autoflowering SO i dont know how well it would take to topping...So if youve done them before I would definitely suggest the Thread starter listen to you and not me lol....I only do normal plants since I have plenty of space myself
