Yea comparing the topped one to the regular plant.... it seems the topped one is doing very well. I experienced hardly any plant shock. It actually took off on a growth spurt a couple days after. Since being topped she is at the same height as the rest of them now. Two of her four main tops are about the same size as the others. The other two a little smaller but not by much. I think she will put out just as much if not a little more than the regular one. It jus depends on how much of the pop corn buds develop on the regular plant. The topped girl has been a huge surprise thus far. We will see how it turns out.
On another note. There is no comparison with the lstd plants. They are producing way more tops and bigger buds for sure...

Well it sounds like that debate is over. LST wins over Topping with autos. Thanks for running the experiment for us (even though it wasn't on purpose). I will LST any future autos, though, leaving my La Musa natural has produced one hell of a bushy plant.

Ill be reporting the final numbers in a few weeks hopefully. Dry weight from each plant that is.... then we shall see how much of a margin it is.

make sure you take some pics of the colas from the different plants too so we can see if there is any size difference and structure between the colas for the various methods used

808, how tall are your plants now? I just measure La Musa at 40 inches tall (3 ft 4 inches). Man she is looking sexy. The main cola is forming with lots of frosty action on the surrounding leaves as are the smaller colas on the side branches. I am getting very excited and now my wife is seeing the fruits of my labor and giving me a lot of "oh, so that's why you were researching so hard" types of comments.

Ill get some measurements for u when i get home from work. Dont think mine are as tall. I would say twenty something inches from soil.

Ill definitely take pics for each plant before and after trimming. Then bud shots from each plant. Then individual weight for each plant. Ill try and be as detailed as possible.

I noticed today that the topped one has really grown. Buds ar growing in thick on the two bigger colas. It will be close.

Looking quite sexy there 808. I love those close-up shots. I figured out why I think of La Musa and La Diva as being related. When I first got the freebie, I googled it and found this video (below). I had totally forgotten about it until last night when I wanted to check my La Musa against what others have done and I googled it again. Hope you enjoy it:

Thanks for the information in the video, I have now added La Diva to my list of seeds to get next!

I am flushing all 4 of my plants tonight for 24 hours. I am growing, as you know, in DWC buckets and I haven't swapped out the water in weeks, just been topping them off with Water and/or nutes depending on my PPM readings. La Musa has stopped stretching and is now just focusing on buds, it appears. Both of my Amnesia Lemon plants as well as the Madness plant are stretching and I think this weekend I am going to have to make decision on whether to snip one of them, thereby reducing my yield or to raise the middle rack in my closet on which my light is hanging which will be a colossal pain in the ass. Right now I am leaning toward the latter...
Based on the video, the Diva and Musa have very similar growth characteristics.

Are ur amnesia ans maddness flowering or vegging right now?
You may be able to just do some lst and pull them down a bit.... just a thought in case you really dnt want to snip away.

All of my plants are flowering now. I'll likely move my rack up about 8 inches. It will be a pain in the ass, but that will allow enough room, I don't think they will stretch more than 2-3 inches. Hopefully they can wait until the weekend, but I may have to do it during the dark cycle tomorrow night. One of my rookie mistakes is not really planning for the growth I have gotten on all of my plants. I really think for my next one, I am going to get a tent and just place it in the room that houses the closet I am using for this run.
