Never Crop Or Transplant An Autoflower
CRITICAL NOTE
Never crop or prune an Autoflowering plant - and never transplant an “Auto”. Their lives are short. Doing any of the above will most likely erase all of your nurturing and progress, and may even kill the plant. “Topping” (cropping / pruning) is part of the process with “regular” plants (i.e. non-autoflowering) but the process is different for an Autoflower.
