Topping,LST, and Lighting

[ManWithWrench]

When an autoflower is NOT topped and left to grow naturally, is it difficult to adjust your lighting height so you aren't burning the main cola and still supplying the lower colas with sufficient lighting? Also, is the main cola more commonly ready for harvest before the lower colas?

hmm no,or yes if the main gets out of control/one cola wonder....but even if that happens can allways supercrop it/break its neck at a 90 in theory a more even a canopy as possible is best the top tends to amber before the rest of the plant....some 2 stage harvest
so its a...it can be,topping is not the only way to control plant height.and a yes

I LST at 4th node and that helps even out canopy some. Also use little steps if needed but never topped an auto yet

Pineapple Gum and Moby Dick XXL both LST at 4th and that's all the training they need. Don't be scared to bend/break them they can take a beating
