they are not auto's.
 
IMO it to early to top them I believe wait for 5-6 nodes then you should be ok.

i thought nodes were where the stem and the leaf meet. i have been reading the stickies and watching youtube vids and looking at google photo's of nodes, but i still have no clue what a node is. i do have more than five leaves attached the the stem.

ps. my reefer growing IQ is 15, as in fifthteens days in.:confused:
 
Yes it is. What Lemon Jack is saying is that he waits until he has 5-6 leaf sets or nodes. It looks like you are at about 4 nodes or sets of leaves.
 
With your small space, I would be for recommending NO topping. You really do not want these to bush out. You are best off trying for single colas.
 
day 17 of the Samsara Seeds Supersonic Cristal Storm Automatic and its looking good, im going to keep it under a MH bulb until the 25 day and then im going to switch to the HPS and start the plant on nutes.

my only issue is in the last 2 photos the 2 bottom or first leaves to sprout are now turning yellow. maybe im over watering the plant?
 
A little bit of yellowing on the very first leaves isnt realy an issue but if you get it on a lot of your other branches then yea, I would check your ph, or maybe set a watering schedule so you dont mess up those seedlings.

i'm only going to top each of my non-autoflower plants once and since i have 3 'ICE COOL's im only going to top 1 of those plants. the KAYA 47 looks great and is my biggest plant of the 12/12's. I think when i wake up 2morro im going to top this one and start it on nutes.

that dont sound like a strain you want to top.

Wow, thanks for the info. i'm going to google around and see what i can find out. are there any websites u would recommend that give info on how to grow each strain?
 
here are some photos from the 20th day.10232011139.jpg i'm starting to notice that the leaves are showing some abnormalities and was reading on MP that it may be a lack of sumthing. i have just been feeding wilt chamberlain distilled h2o and nothing else. check out the leaves and leave a comment or 2. i think its either a calcium or Phosphorus deficiency
