I popped one Blue Dream'matic Auto and it's a runt. Maybe because I was busting the auto growing myths of no transplanting and no topping. So, I transplanted AND topped her. Looks funny. It's one sided too with one side grows stronger than the other.
I am also growing two other autos which were transplanted and topped and they both are doing awesome! Transplanting should be no problem as it's dumb to plant a seed in a huge 3 or 5 gallon pot. Maybe topping is the only thing that should be a case by case basis as it depends on the vigour of the strain.
Do you guys transplant and top your autos?
Here's Blue Dream'matic Auto runt that is about 7 weeks from germination.
