What the heck is going on??? 6 nodes/colas on one side, 11 on the other?

30 days old from seed today. Was intending to mainline from seed and I have attempted that. Blue Dream Bagseed just the one plant. Growing just enough for personal use. One side I messed up topping (FIM) and the other topped fine. However, I've got some extremely uneven growth going on.

Was going for a little micro V8 but it's looking like a monster.

Plant answers:
Hydroponic. Rapid rooters, clay pebbles. 150W LED panel plus two 100w equivalent bulbs.

The photos are labeled with numbers to what I think are going to become colas. Please correct me if I'm wrong, that's why I'm here.

Yes, it looks like ass. Yes, it's my first attempt at mainlining. She grows how she grows!!

I was going to top one more time once each side was at 4 nodes, but I think this may be enough extra branching?

The first pic has 2 new growth shoots that can become colas (3,4) and (5,6). 1 and 2 are just single fan leaves. Everything you have labeled are fan leaves, not new growth shoots. Look for the places where new growth is happening with little baby leaves. Those are the areas where new growth can form and turn into colas. The buds form at the nodes, where the stem on the fan leaf meets the stem of the plant.

Good luck! Peace

So the second one is kind of the same story then? Thanks!

Yes.

Yeah you’re counting the fan leaves, you want to only count the new branches growing off the main stem.

Ok so taking this into consideration it looks like everything else besides 1&2 on both pictures are new growths? There's actually 3 fan leaves on the FIMd side, there's not one on the end of the topped side. I'm wondering if that's why that side is growing slower than the FIMd area.
