PICTURE WITH BLURPLE LIGHTS: Previous grow Grandaddy Purp Auto

VIDEO: Current Grow of 3 Gelato Autos and 3 Bruce Banner Auto
Hey guys. I was comparing my pictures from my last grow (grandaddy purp autos) vs my current grow (3 Bruce Banner Auto in front and 3 Gelato Autos in back). This is only my second time growing now and I'm trying to build patterns slowly, know what to expect/lookout for , what to do and not do etc. Looking at my previous grow (picture with blurple lights) vs my current grow (video) it seems like my plants are really small. The 2 differences from my previous grow and my current grow (when comparing days 34ish) is that on day 31 of my previous grow I had performed LST AND Topped my plants. On this grow I haven't even been able to do any LST on 2 of my plants because of how small they are and I'm not confident enough to do any HST besides snipping the tops and it's too late now on these autos for that. How do they look to you guys? Should I just continue on the same pace and wait to SCROG in a few weeks or just leave them alone at this point. Lastly, by this time last grow I had already started full feeding in Foxfarm Soil (was slowly introducing nutrients from day 21) and this time I've cut my nutrients back. Should I up them a little? Time for pot and phos by now since I have some pistils? Turn lights up (currently at 75%), drop lights or bring them up?
I will attach my current grow journal as well
Sorry about all the questions. I have confused myself because my last grow came out with a killer end result but with MANY fuck ups and I'm almost wondering if the fact that I was always stressing my plants in previous grow (intentionally and unintentionally), that this is why I ended up with some super dank and dense buds.
Thanks in advance guys. You guys have always been so helpful and patient with this newbie lol

My current light (not the blurple) is a new Mars Hydro TSL2000 only running at 75%. Are you saying I should upgrade that light and get a new light? The blurple doesn't exist any more it's just a picture of previous grow a few months back to compare if that makes sense.

I meant upgrade from blurple. You should be good.

Currently around 23" and 75%. Tgis is part of why I'm having some difficulty. This time last from with a cheap Bloomspect 1200Watt, I was running both Veg and Bloom Switches and was around 18". That light was very cheap but surprisingly done well. I introduced my plants the Mars Hydro (on previous grow) at 100% in the last 5 weeks. Still learning the proper dimming to height ratio on the Mars Hydro

Yes they're small for age. Next time switch to photos or use a much smaller container. 3 gallons is way more than you need for autos.
I went from 5 gallon on previous to 3 gallon for that reason. When I harvested I noticed the roots weren't even close to filling the pot even with watering from the outsides inwards

struggled myself with the dimming knob on my light. Get a ppfd meter and it makes things so much easier and the plants REALLY thanked me

UPDATE: It's day 38. Threw the SCROG up. Plants are still staying fairly small but looking at my last grow in day 38, I'm basically exactly where I was with that grow. I'll be happy if my end result ends up the same.
