Ya, I agree. I mostly work with autos in the 75-85 day range.
Topping is always strain dependant even with photos. Some just don't like it. I was just saying it can be done with Autoflowers and still get good yields. I am also a big fan of LST and defoliating some autos as well.

I find the largest contributor to "top or not" is whether or not the genetics like a 'main cola' or not. Some strains try to grow the same sized flower without caring where it is on the plant. Some strains like to grow one big flower and a few smaller branches and flowers.
If'n it likes to be one big spear, topping will usually reduce yield.

there is an other way to maximize autoflowers,
mazarfakar ( automazar x gorilla auto ) reached the top of a 2m high tent... and it is just at halfway in flowering.....
i am thinking about to write more exact details on hydroponic growing of autos

This is exactly the problem I am having with this plant , using bio bucket RDWC.
Love to see a link if you have on that.. so next grow I will be ready.

i didn t do that, bcause autoflowers are very situational and their behaviour is depending on lot of different factors,
plus as i noticed growers are looking for a faster, cheaper and simplier alternative of regular growing.

auto kush with 24/0 led lights took longer to flower but yield is monster

This Kush Auto plant was grown under TCI panels. 460 watt of LED per 120x120 cm area. Light schedule was 24 hours of light every day, no dark periods at all. True monsters, with this setup 200-300 grams of dry flower per plants is reasonable.

I use 7 gallon pots with autos from sprout to finish average 4 to 5 oz per plant is that considered a good harvest with auto seed

That's sounds pretty good to me. But on the other hand I've got about an ounce from autos in one gallon pots so maybe you should get 7...
Every time i grow autos. I get low yields and sometimes get sick pants. Heres my current big bud auto. She not doing good all of a sudden.
