Hawaii Outdoor Auto Grow

Hey screedo I went back to your week 3 veg pics for question. Yes you can top them. Earlier the better more time for those shoots to grow up and become a main cola. As long as your plant is healthy it will bounce right back in a couple of days. I top at 4th node 4 way lst then scrog. I don't have any problems.

They look like it might stunt them, you want them to have a good root structure before topping so they can handle the stress and at that size it doesnt look like they would have one so i would wait a little longer if i was going to top them. Id look on it at a plant by plant basis though if it was the right candidate for topping and with that being an auto and of smaller size i would probably look more into the LST technique. Happy growing mate 👌

When you have strong growth topping will give you more buds in the end. But if your experiencing slower growth than the plants potential you won't get the full results you'd be expecting. At this point in your grow I would leave them as is learn from experience and try topping next time around. Best of luck!
