    Honestly, I don’t worry a little bit of yellowing. Usually just a little nutrient burn or lack of potassium which is really fucking hard to correct when you’re new to growing. My first plant a couple years ago was a lot of experimenting with feeding her



  2. Luis Cordova on July 15, 2022 at 1:02 am

    Week 3 is too early in my opinion week 4 you have more branch



  3. Tom Bennett on July 15, 2022 at 1:02 am

    You can’t top autos



  4. CmmnSenseRules on July 15, 2022 at 1:03 am

    Wow flushing an auto?! That blows a duck



  5. ttfahd on July 15, 2022 at 1:03 am

    Im going back to dirt….Im an old man…Wondering If I can use my liquid feed from my hydro set up ?? the micro, the grow and then the bud?



  6. Robby Zimmerman on July 15, 2022 at 1:09 am

    Thanks for the info. But it could have done without this shity music



  7. Klaus on July 15, 2022 at 1:10 am

    For all the beginners out there: Just buy good, high quality soil that is made especially for growing cannabis. This way you don’t have to think about nutrients or ph levels in the early stages of the grow. And you really don’t need to get fancy with the watering, just use normal tap water. Works every time. Growing is not rocket science!



  8. Debby Ryan 👉cpnflipz on telegram👈 on July 15, 2022 at 1:11 am

    (⬆️⬆️name above)Hi, there. Thank you for sending my order (weed) out so quickly. I am very impressed with your service, you have kept me informed througout the whole process, and I will most definately be purchasing from you again. many thanks.



  9. Nathan Holmes on July 15, 2022 at 1:14 am

    Hey, Ive watched nearly all of your videos, i am a beginner but looking to upgrade my light, i want to spend under $500, what would you recoments please, i have a 200x120x120 grow tent



  10. NOTE G BEATZ on July 15, 2022 at 1:15 am

    Can you top past week 4? 🤔



  11. Luke Hammer on July 15, 2022 at 1:17 am

    Beginners. Not afraid of mistakes. As a beginner I’ve documented everyday to every other day, week by week. So far they’re looking good. No issues at the moment I’ll do a splash of cal mag an the rest water.



  12. name on July 15, 2022 at 1:17 am

    You never mix different kinds of chemical lines!!!! Nutrient deficiency



  13. Keka Harris on July 15, 2022 at 1:17 am

    Tbf with auto flower varietys you must look at there ratio of genes so how big they get in general, big tip dnt top autos just lst and scrog net um bro defo in weeks 3 and 6, I will say this try and keep ya nutes in the low zone at first they will only need water for the first week, then add low dose of nutes then up it only every time you see new growth, dnt feed untill you see the vigour a hungry plant looks for food, and in turn will have a big roots system if we feed auto on lower doses they thrive go to. Flower food at week 2 of flower after a flush, autos dnt need lots of food just a decent amount, they grow fast and can extract nutes very well out of the medium, in coco always add a tad of cal mag but only if you use Ro water, if it’s good tap water it will have mg cal in it, always watch for leaf clawing they a sign of over water and N tox 😉sme autos like a bloom feed from the get go I have found to, I once seen one done on tomato nutes lol 😁 and it was very good, so experiment and look for tha sweet spot, dial it in as I say each time I do something new I aways find out the cons to it not the pros the cons mean more



  14. Nicholas Aaron on July 15, 2022 at 1:20 am

    So have you found higher yeild with topping an auto? I found they are SIGNIFICANTLY smaller and no better quality at all….let me know what you’ve found!!!



  15. Ronnie Wyatt on July 15, 2022 at 1:21 am

    I have a plant about 7 ft y’all growing outside. Frost is coming soon and this plant is just now starting some beautiful buds growing and I would like to bring it indoors by digging it up and potting it and try to finish the grow. Can I top the plant now as it is too tall. Plz help



  16. Sand Hanitizer on July 15, 2022 at 1:21 am

    Can I stop it further down if I let it get a little too tall? It’s still only like 25/30 in tall, but I think I waited too long



  17. k de on July 15, 2022 at 1:23 am

    ive heard though that seeing as autos grow time is shorter then photos, its not a good idea to top autos as it could stunt growth?



  18. boboss top shelf on July 15, 2022 at 1:24 am

    ide just do lst 3x but hella bossy girl bub



  19. Fernando Felix on July 15, 2022 at 1:25 am

    What lights are u running



  20. Ronny Henrix on July 15, 2022 at 1:26 am

    I’m so tired of seeing these lame intros with the annoying music.



  21. Tao SalociN on July 15, 2022 at 1:26 am

    Hey Guys, just low stress training for autos.



  22. steven calabrese on July 15, 2022 at 1:28 am

    i think you need more intense lighting… whats your par rating



  23. Nick Speaks Truth on July 15, 2022 at 1:28 am

    Song name of the song at about the 1:00 mark? Anyone?



  24. Emil Karolak on July 15, 2022 at 1:28 am

    Downvote for alcohol in the video. Stop promoting this deadly drug.



  25. H Bentley on July 15, 2022 at 1:30 am

    This was soooOOOO helpful. For us newer growers sometimes we forget how to do something basic, for me, it was this. NOOOooow I remember how to do it. Which is great considering I’m growing some Putang (I know-not an autoflower) and wanted more clones. I fucked up topping the mother, got pissed at myself and took 5 branches for cuttings. I’m growing them now and didn’t want to screw up again. THANKS, Begginer BUDZ! The Putang mama turned a beeauUtiful purple, I want more!



  26. J C on July 15, 2022 at 1:32 am

    great video and tips



  27. VatoMedia on July 15, 2022 at 1:32 am

  30. Ser c on July 15, 2022 at 1:33 am

    topping an auto flower yup you lost me at that. low stress training is the way for autos



  31. H D on July 15, 2022 at 1:34 am

    Is It bad that a plant has some leaves that only have 3 leaves Instead of 5?



  32. BeyondSkylines on July 15, 2022 at 1:36 am

    How long after topping did you being lst



  33. ΔussieΔstronaut on July 15, 2022 at 1:36 am

    Iron deficiency



  34. John Mendez on July 15, 2022 at 1:36 am

    What if I cut all the leaves for 8 weeks n just keep top



  35. Amanda Denton on July 15, 2022 at 1:41 am

    Omg thank you for a close up of the plant And when to top! I’m growing my very first one and I’m trying to judge when was time. This was perfect!



  36. Svppe on July 15, 2022 at 1:44 am

    1:31 nice voicecrack haha



  37. bobby Fisher on July 15, 2022 at 1:44 am

    Cannabis is the most crappie drug you can take. Only idiots take it



  38. jamie johnson on July 15, 2022 at 1:45 am

    Blah blah blah . Dang I’m just trying to learn when, how to top a plant but not listen to loud EDM and a 15min vid ya gotta sit through to get to the point



  39. Carmine Cozzolino on July 15, 2022 at 1:45 am

    At minute 2:00 there a problem on the leafs and, as he says, there’s a problem of too much nutrients. I do have the same problem only on one plant, the other sister is growing big and healthy. How can I fix this problem on the leafs if I am using already (all mix – biobizz) a fertilized soil? I’m only giving them a ph water until the 5th week, then I will start veeeery slowly to add some nutrients.

    Thank you for your help have a lovely day. 🎄🙏🏼

    Ive done "guerilla farming" often in my life, but my first ever indoor system, from Spider Farmer, will be here on Wed. and I’ve chosen yours’ and another channel to be my guides on this long awaited and finally realized trip (‘journey’ is so overused). I picked 5 Critical Purple and 5 Afghan auto flowering seeds from
    Grower’s Choice Seeds to be my first crop. I have 2- 4x4x60 Spider Farmer tents with everything that comes with the kits. Each has SF2000 light setup. Of course using Samsung LEDs. My son has his own videography company and will edit my vlogs on this project. I feel like I’m doing a lot of things right, but can’t wait to learn more. Also, me being OG
    af, I will share the spoils of any successes I have with this harvest by chipping y’all off a piece of the proceeds to your Patreon.

  42. Jayson Figueroa on July 15, 2022 at 1:47 am

  43. Field Campos on July 15, 2022 at 1:50 am

    Put outside in 🌅



  44. Moula Yadagirri on July 15, 2022 at 1:50 am

    Super



  45. Yatziri Herrera on July 15, 2022 at 1:52 am

    What kind of kush is it????? or wha kind is it????



  46. Nick Lohry on July 15, 2022 at 1:52 am

    NOO reason to ever be nervous about doing things to your plants! Plants are very resilient and will grow back. It is called WEED for a reason. And if ya happen to do something SOOOO BAD that you kill the thing, I bet you won’t do it again 😂 and that’s because you will have learned. However, I’m telling you it is quite hard to straight up just KILL a plant. Atleast in my experience I have found that to be the case. Just go for it! That’s how you LEARN and actually get BETTER……



  47. Lу$ёя6!c on July 15, 2022 at 1:53 am

    Nobody should listen to these guys, he has no idea what he’s talking about



  48. Booobillionaires on July 15, 2022 at 1:53 am

    Bad video. Wastes 3 mins. To see actual topping skip to 3:30 mins in



  49. Lea Wilson on July 15, 2022 at 1:54 am

    Great video well done I’ve topped auto’s in the past but must say always had better results not topping but training them instead bending the top over until it all catches up way less stress to the plant especially with autos the key is don’t stress to much let them be always had better yields 👍👍👍



  50. masch1na on July 15, 2022 at 1:54 am

    Hey man pretty cool
