First ever auto grow !! Bruce banner

Welcome back for week 3 of the Bruce Banner auto from monster genetics. It's been a interesting week for this grow! I decided to run a little experiment! As I researched for this grow I found that in regards to topping autos there is alot of conflicting information out there. Some say top when healthy. some say only LST. Through my research and experience with photoperiod plants i have formed my own theory as follows. (1) I believe people run into trouble topping autos at times not because the plant can't handle it but because they simply don't have time to compensate for losing the standard 2 growth nodes to a top job. (2) if all we are after is to break the Apical dominance of the natural top inorder to produce two where there was once but one. Then why grow past the node to be topped at all ?I've practiced this to less extremes with photo plants regularly with no I'll effects the logic being why waste energy on leaves that will be cut off later. Instead cut them now while no energy has been invested in them and then that energy will be invested into the parts that stay and there's no lost time for an autoflower or a photoperiod. So to prove my theory I currently have 2 Bruce banner autos growing they were started at the same time and have received identical treatment from day one giving me the perfect control for the experiment. One plant I topped literally using a magnifying glass to see the tiniest peice of apical growth tip just after the first set of fingered leaves. The second plant will not be topped. They will both be LST 'd as I see fit to accomplish the same task of light efficiency. I will document both the plants growth week to week and we will compare the results at the end. I also am taking magnified pics of the plant I topped as well as a daily perspective pic for those who haven't seen such a small piece topped before. It was topped on just day 16 from pop!Either way we will learn something here. The girls were given there 2nd dose of worm tea this week and have now reached the veg lights max output. With the mover I rigged up they hit lux readings between 25,000 and 30,000 averaging 28,000 minute to minute when flower begins they will be put under a light that's at least twice as strong and I will be getting that lux up there for dense colas. As for the genetics themselves I am impressed they have all the vigor and look just as healthy as photoperiod plants I've grown I'm looking forward to working with them all the way through flower. ........thank all of you who have taken the time to read about my grow and if you are a fan of monster genetics or the strain Bruce banner auto or if your interested in organic/ living soil growing click follow and let's watch her grow together!
