burying bottom leaves

Well you only have 1 node. looks like you never let it grow passed that node and topped it. I would guess it to be 14-20 days old in that pic

Good guess 20 days, and then I must be confused on what a node is? There is 4 sets of leaves growing from the stem

a node is each set of branches that grows off of the main stem after the fan leaf. If you look at your second pic, the first set of leaves is the fan leaf, then a node but this one prob wont amount to anything. The next three leaves are fan leaves, then your first node. you topped the other one so fast that no more nodes will grow from the main stem

It was growing fine but when I bent it the top broke too much so I just took it off, wanna keep it small

It'll be fine.

That first pic looks like you topped it above the first node. The two little leaf sets coming off at that first node will each turn into their own two branches. So you'll have two mains on that plant if you don't do any more training.

Okay I thought it was only 2 but my buddy said each leaf would become its own, thank you

no a leaf will not become anything. Think of a fan leaf as a solar panel supplying energy to the node. that is a fan blades main purpose. someone correct if I am wrong. like a senile fungus said if you dont LST then you will just have two bud sites, just 2 branches. no more will ever grow from the main stem.
