Would you top this?

White Widow auto at 13 days old. Should I top it yet, and should I keep the bottom node. Thoughts?

Damn she looks pretty matured for 13 days. Me personally? I would. Id take that bottom node out too, the question i would struggle with is when to do it

I'm surprised by her vigor as well . But I don't want to stress her by removing to much at once, like you say.

Top on red line and keep all the blues and train them with lst!



If it was photos i would remove some lower growth! But not on an Auto. Lst all the waY.

Its a conundrum. I mean, mathematically, you could easily wait for another node to top. At 13 days you should have atleast what? 2 solid weeks until flower? Maybe 3? But what would worry me is that ive seen videos where people claim autos went to flower in like week 3. Your girl looks matured very quickly, is that because shes going to go into flower early or she has great genetics?

If you are going to top her, do it now

Usually I top like this:

-5
+4
+3
+2
-1

That takes the very bottom (single leaf) node off... it doesn't seem to produce much later on.
And leaves you with 6 branches to train your canopy.

Recently I've been topping much higher. At 7/8 or not at all for shorter plants. Honestly, I think I prefer this math.

So:

-8
+7
+6
+5
+4
+3
+2
-1

That said, I've topped at 3,4,5,7,8,and 12 now... They all smoked the same. Some had more height than others.

Are you struggling with height in the tent?

I have had auto's start flowering on day 16-17. I'd top now like M_C suggests.

Not really, the tent is 2m tall.

I would rip that plant from the soil and eat it. That couldnt have ended well
