Anyone have a picture of untopped/untrained 2 wk - 1 month old plant in veg?

I always top / FIM my plants and right now I'm experimenting with this method that causes the plant to continue growing taller and not grow any fan leaves but puts all of it's energy into the internodal growth. (yea i know fan leaves are important, but this is different and worth experimenting on bagseed)

I forgot to keep an untrained plant for comparison. and don't want to wait around by growing a new plant for comparison.
Can anyone post a good side view picture of an untrained / untopped plant? Indoor / Outdoor would be nice too, Thanks!

EVeryones plants are going to look different..depending on climates...knowledge of grower...etc etc etc. But here is a pic of 2 indica's and 1 sativa at 1 month veg, the 2 onthge left are the indica's and the one on the right is the sativa.S6302527.jpg

just wondering why sometimes you'll get branching without any training and other times you get no branching at all.. Intensity of light?

homegrown what lights are you plants under? t5 ho?

Oh yea, how do people get their leaves to be super dark green like glassblower's? Is it strain dependent or just a lot of Nitrogen? (you might just say that's cus of the lighting but I've seen other pics where the plant leaves look really dark green and shiny)

I started from seeds, and they are just T8's. I was putting them in my flowering room for a few hours a day which has a 1000W HPS.
Most plants leaves get darker from genetics, but it can be a sign of too much nitrogen...but rarely the case.
Plants will branch out according to pheno's, some strains pheno's can be short stalky bitches...while some can be taller less branched plants.

Bingo. :wink: Once they finally are getting the level of light that satisfies them, they quit putting so much effort into growing upwards(stretching), and grow outwards. A bushy plant, is a happy, strong plant. A stretching plant, is struggling, and also more likely to have health problems.
