First ever auto grow !! Bruce banner

What's going on everybody! We're back for week 4 veg in progress with monster genetics Bruce banner auto. I have been keeping up with the experiment I started last week. I have followed the topped plants growth day to day with a pictorial succession aswell as comparison photos of both the topped and uncut plant. There is definitely some interesting differences already. First I'll say both plants are healthy and doing well with one slight but notable negative. The topped plant has tipped the very edges of its leaves up and I backed the light off and increased air flow on the plants immediately I believe that will fix the issue and that I caught it before it caused any long lasting problem. This indicates to me that cutting it may have stressed it a bit. That having been said it responded exactly as I would expect it to. The base of the main stem is twice as thick as the control plant and the nodes at every branch interval already have developed 2 leaves and a stem that is just starting to reach up. The controll plant has the smallest beginning of node development almost none. as these new tops on the cut plant begin to compete with each other for apical dominance my goal will be to try and keep their progress equal by LST which I began aswell this week. Just a simple sideways bend while pulling the top down to encourage those little shoots to grow up. what I didn't expect is that when cutting such a small top growth I instead actually managed to fim this plant moreso than top it and as a result the real top has already recovered all though it did so with misformed foliage as a result of the damage I caused. which is kind of a interesting twist because I now seem to have gained 4 new tops and lost none so long as I continue LST to keep the recovered top down until the others catch up then I still have achieved all the benefits of a full topping. The controll plant was also started on LST to maintain the experiment validity.the main stem bend will undoubtedly cause node development this week but it is already behind the cut plants development. In conclusion so far the topped plant is further along in the journey to more colas than the uncut plant. While this isn't by any means a shocking development it is interesting to have definitive evidence of this in a controlled and documented experiment that can be looked at for answers like ,should I top my autoflower? and how will it effect my over all yields? And so the experiment will continue as these two plants grow towards the final harvest weight. I will continue to document and compare there progress throughout their life cycle. FYI...... the pics with red letters are of the cut plants daily growth after cutting and are just to view the overall growth of the topped autoflower. The pics with white letters are comparison photos of the cut plant marked as A aswell as the uncut plant marked as B the number next to the letter indicates the day change so one will be able to track the day to day changes and compare the results between the two plants. As always thank you for your interest in my grow and if you have any questions or suggestions feel free to post.
