Maximizing Autoflower Yield

My seedbank tossed me 3 free feminized Easyrider seeds. I've never really bothered 'wasting' my time on autoflowering plants, but I figured they're free anway so why not. Is it possible to top/FIM them? or do they start flowering before they grow tall enough to cut?

Fim an topping dont work very well for autos for me, you end up loosing a weeks worth of growth an get lower yields.

Find out what their light cycle is. Seems 18/6 will grow max size.

I bought 10 seeds privately. Only 1/10 followed AF trait of fast sexing. 2 out of 7 survived a variety of situations, like not knowing proper light cycle. After 2-3 months I forced flowering by dropping light to 12/12.

One is now 5+ months old- maybe 7 more days to harvest for a single 15" Indica dom female (at least she is a solid cola oozing with trics): the other survivor was Sat dom 20" bush, I was sure was a female, but turned out to be a male. If the genetics aren't stable it is very frustrating. At least yours were free. Growing mine indoors under 400 watt, so I will be lucky to break even on electric costs.

I germed the last 4 seeds roughly 7 weeks ago. One showed AF traits in 3 weeks (male) the last 3 are healthy but no signs of sexing. The 3 around the middle are supposedly AFs, the large one in the center is a BC Bud Mango. All were germed at the same time!
