Experiments with autos and defoliation

[GuerrillaGr0wer]

So, being new to autos I'm doing some experimenting. I have two cindy99 autos going. Both from Blimburn, Both from the same pick they sent me. It appears the genetics are very different as these two are getting exactly the same treatment growing side by side. Exact same watering schedule, nutes, lighting, soil ect ect. You can see by the pics one wants to stretch and grow out, the other wants to stay short and bush out. So in my quest for information and hands on experimentation I'm leaving bushy alone. Little bit of LST and nothing more, maybe light defoliation coming up once we start flowering. Ol slick the tall drink of water over here, is getting heavy defoliation and heavy LST now. And in the process, well Oops I topped it. Truly by accident. These are in week 3 of veg. What's the general consensus on this? I'm just wondering which will have the higher yield and denser buds. Like I said this is my first auto run ever. Slick is on the right FYI. I'm hoping I didn't go too far and stress this lady too much.

Hey Guerillagrower,
It looks as though Ol slick has some work to do to get back to where she may have been. Otherwise they both look great! My money is on the lady on the left to start flowering before Ol slick. This is based on her growth in the pictures you provided. Keep up the great growth!
