You can top them but the outcome stays about the same, and ive heard you can clone them but its delicate work because the clones are 1 or 2 inches im going to sacrifice one of my ak47xblueberry on my seed run this spring and give it a shot.

pulse the Dryders look amazing and smell good, and are pretty good herb, not a cup winner but most likely better than any dealer pot around

not really because of the very small veg time, if it was me i would not do it, i've seen like a million auto grows here, and 0 i repeat 0 ever topped it or thought about it

Yeah cloning an autoflower is a waste of time,topping pretty much is also. Some LST on it seems to work.

If you took a cutting from an auto the clone will be the same age as the plant it was taken from. By the time it roots and and starts growing again its only going to be a tiny budding plant. You will also be taking atleast a week or more of valuable growing time from the plant you cut while it recovers and starts to grow again from the stress of being cut diminishing an already small yield.

like violator said just grow a shit load (SOG).

How would i go about LST-ing autoflowers? I wasnt aware I could do that but i'd love to take advantage of the branching properties of the ak47auto

Awesome, should I wait until it just starts flowering or let it get a little more into it? I'd love to have 2 or 3 nice lil' tops

If you top it you will probably get a lower yield.If you really wanna try topping it try the third or fourth week at the latest.
I would only try it if you are having very vigorous growth. I saw a 3 1/2 foot ak47xlowryder#2 my buudy had.

dont waist your time or your auto flower in cloning or topping. if you cut clones you loose bud on your plant and your clone will only live as long as the mother, there fore the clone wont have enough time to reach final bud, roots will not be there for the buds. if you top you loose bud,veg time not long enough to do so. not to mention if your plant even has a branch. i had some that just grew one big bud,ones that did branch out in to 3 big buds, but then iv had one the plant never got bigger than a cigeret lighter.hell i had one no bigger than my figer nail, weird 46 days old and and got two hits lol. i just harvest 5 ak47 x lr2. it looks deadly. one turned purple. with trichromes all over it. im fixing to do 35 autos of 5 different strains, have beans going to germ... this week end.
