Topping is when you cut, or pull the grow tips off

Makes the plants branch out and grow alot bushier

thats cool.at what stage should a plant be topped

I like topped my plants when they reach 5 / 6 node. just pinch off above the 5 / 6 node using your thumb and finger or a clean razor blade. this will creat 2 main colas so you will get more bud

is it ok to top autoflowering strains

I wouldn't. Autos are ususally bushy anyway and mine (white dwarf) have always had several large colas without topping.

i was readin uncle bens earlier and that is freaking awesome. when mine get bigger i'm deffinately gonna top'em

cheers man.ive got pakistan ryder and lowberry on the go at the moment

i'm using bag seed for my first time. if all goes well i'll be growing again, but maybe not till my lease is up and get a bigger place...to grow in. Ha Ha Ha!

I did this to my plants on Monday, just in four days you can see the four new tops already. I highly recomend it.
