Pruning Trouble

Alright I have about 10 auto-flower plants going outside right now and my two question are about pruning. Should I top my auto-flower plants just like a normal plant? And when should I cut the lower branches off of my plant? Or should I? Also will these pruning techniques work well on an auto-flower strain? THANKS!!!!

Do not prune or top autoflowers. They do not have the time to recover like photoperiod plants. Just shoot the lights to 'em, boy!

Agree with hotrod, autos are not meant to be stressed in any way. But then again I only got the info second hand from a friend who grows them. I never understood the need for autos. If one has to wait 60, why not wait 90?

Well I'm growing them because I'm so damn late into the outdoor grow season. I found a dutch passion autoflower strain that went from seed to harvest in 9 weeks and blah blah blah more stuff that intrigued me and so I bought it because it would grow the most in the short time frame I have. Otherwise, I agree with you, I don't see their point or how they're really that popular, but to each his own.
