Short and fast, I’d let her ride. If you top her too late, it’ll stunt her and cut your yield in half. Sooner the better for autos.

So I had never fimmed a plant before, and decided I’d try it on this gorilla glue auto. I did it on day 24. I wouldn’t bet my life I did it right, but I did what looked right according to pics I saw. Small pic is a about a week after I did it, and the bigger pic is today on day 38. It stretched a lot, and I spread it out yesterday by tying down some limbs. You make the call on your plant, but if you’re going to do it, I’d do it pretty soon.

I would have fimed her when she was smaller. This big I would let her alone.

People on here said fimming was actually less stressful than topping and based on doing fimming twice and topping many times, I would agree

How old was the plant when you fim it and supercroped it.

It was 6 nodes I think maybe 3 weeks?

Thanks may try on my next grow

How many weeks are you into flowering? My gorilla glue seems to be flowering very slowly. Or maybe I’m just impatient. Day 8 today.

Ok i agree with @Borderryan22 let her go for awhile before you fim it when she is taller then u can fim her i fim my plants all the time and i grow autos i fim the top and all branches and i do it twice i wait for awhile before i do it again thou

My gorilla glue auto took 9 weeks to start flowering and now look at it

And how many flowering weeks is that?

@Dexterado you still have plenty of time left with her sometimes they stall when transitioning to flower but your looking good
