First ever auto grow !! Bruce banner

Welcome everybody to week 6 of Bruce Banner automatic from monster genetics. We have pistils forming and we are in flower! I have switched to my more powerful light for flower and started using some diatomaceous earth as I had a bit of a fungus gnat issue starting. Last week I was notably irritated with the the ladies sensitive nature towards LST. I have since found that if I very gradually moved the limbs over the course of a few days they didn't react as negatively. I'm unsure if this is a normal auto trait or just this strain imo probably a little of both. However things are infact looking better now that we have some stretching going on and a bit of an understanding between us on how they would like to be treated ;). This week the differences between the topped plant or (A) and the non topped control plant (B) are inarguably increasing. Plant (A) has a fairly even canopy that's taking up about twice what the control plants canopy is taking at first glance it would seem to me that topping has helped this plant gain advantage over just LST'ing. As for plant (B) it is just as healthy as (A) and the LST is beginning to get more tops to develop but they are by no means going to be equal to the main top who's packing on pistils faster and is noticably bulkier than the other secondary tops. I have performed necessary defoliation on both plants with the main goal of getting light exposure on growth nodes I wish to encourage and to clean off areas near the base that will never develop anyway helping the plant to concentrate it's efforts on the tops. So far I'd have to say the untopped main cola of plant (b) is probably ahead of all tops on both plants as far as development is concerned. It is possible it may be the largest cola of both plants. Weather or not the over all yield of the topped plant will be greater then the control remains to be proven. We will find out in the coming weeks. Thank you for taking the time to check out my grow!
