RQS Royal Dwarf- 1st time budget grow.

Welcome to day 45 for my two plant lockdown budget grow. I don’t think you could get two more different plants from the same seeds growing in the same conditions at the same time. plant 1 is so damn bushy that it’s hard to get decent light penetration to the lower areas. I think it’s too late to consider defoliation and as it’s an auto I don’t wasn’t to risk it. Any tips on this ? One huge balls up this week. While LSTing I lassoed the man stem too far up and it snapped at the main bud. I taped it back together and made a splint to hold things but it annoyed me greatly. It doesn’t look like if has effected the growth and the bud is still thriving so I may have gotten away with it. Plant 2 has always been an odd little stumpy thing but it’s still kicking out buds n growth so it must be happy. The leaves are all super tight so I can’t LST it, I just let it do it’s thing. I’m concerned that I’ll have one super dense bud and so trying to mitigate again bud rot. Anyone ever seen a plant do this ? Any advice or help would be appreciated. Oh, the smell. The little guy is super pungent. I have the tent vented to outside and you can smell it in the garden. I think Ive created a monster 🧟‍♂️ Ph is good and the bio-bizz bio-bloom is effective and easy to use. Watering is around 1l every 3 days for the big guy and 0.6 for the small one.
