    Default Topping an auto!

    yes yes i know!!! lol

    I just want to know if any one has topped an auto and had good results?
    I ask because im moving house soon and will be doing small cabinet grows from then on.

    the cabinet is 2ft tall x 1.5ft x 1.5ft, so my plan is to put a 300w cfl in there with
    2, 5l pots with a scrog and hopefully achieve an even canopy about 6 inch from the cfl!
    Do you think this will work?#

    peace
    we keep planting these seeds.....
    watch us grow new breeds.....
    cultivating these trees.....
    the cycle carries on

    Here's one I topped and trained got nearly 6 Oz from it.



    All the autos I've done have been topped & lst'd, it may slow it down slightly but not enough to not at least consider doing it.

    wow! those colas are epic!
    so u top it then tie the individual colas down?
    would lst or scrog control the height better?

    peace

    Yeah a scrog would keep the height down very well, the only thing I can think that may cause an uneven canopy is that you can't control the flower stage of an auto, you could incorporate a bit of LST'ing to ensure the canopy stays level.

    Ive just LST but not topped two plants, it seems to be working well but as said, you will struggle to get an even canopy and for them to all grow the same height and in the same place but i reckon if you chose the right strain then it would work well

    I'm to scared to top my autos. Don't want to waste any energy or time. Figured I'll just pull her down and check what happens.

    My auto started flowering a day or 2 ago and I am really looking forward to the end results

    Love and Light

    Pete
