    OK- I'm getting ready to germinate 5 Speed Devil Autoflowering seeds.
    My question is-can I pinch the tops to make them bush like I do all the rest of my plants? I know they grow on their own clock, I just don't want to ruin them. Thought I'd plant these in 7-10 gallon pots and not with the rest of my plants. Thanks

    two things...1)when I first saw the thread title my mind went straight to hell no! you never pinch from somebody elses' stash. glad to find out i was off subject. 2) don't know for sure about pinching autos but have read up on them enough to know that they respond to low stress training like their photo period brethren so it would seem to me it would be ok. once they've grown a bit pinch one and see.

    I would like to know how to pinch my plants to make them bushier. I have a few plants that are growing straight up. I do know they are female because I got them as clones. This is my first time growing pot. Please any help would be grateful.
