Looks solid thus far bro - Watch how close lights get, if you see the leaves curling inward light is probably too close ..... Good luck I’ve got my seat!
 
Quick update before work. Went to top the GG a few days ago and found out I topped her wrong and snipped off a whole node. Nervous at first but she came back like nothing happened, these are some tough little ladies! Today makes day 16 for the CP so I topped her. Also my wife’s Cilantro is doing very well haha.

Feeling much better today. Today is day 23 & 21 for the ladies. I was able to run out and get some Cal-mag so heres after the feeding and a little lst. The CP has some weird leaf pattern, looks pretty cool but maybe it’s nothing.

It’s been a few weeks since the last update. Today makes day 32 and 30. It was definitely a cal-mag issue before and the CP bounced back tremendously. The ladies are doing amazing! The CP put some track shoes on and it almost the same height as the GG! The CP is on the left and GG on the right.

I know it's late but I totally agree. Only just started my first auto but when we switched to LED with Photo I didn't have to have the light nearly as close to the plants as I thought or was recommended by the manufacturer. I thought I had PH or Nute issues. Turned out to be the light being too close (1000watt LED 22" away) . And using veg and bloom settings at the same time. Too much for my 4x4x6' tent. 3 different strains and runs before I got it dialed in. For me never closer than 30" away unless well into flower. I don't get any "leggyness".

And just a cheap ONEO veg/bloom 1000watt LED, but. More than impressed with it for the price! In fact they just went on sale for half price and I bought a couple more. Comes with the rigging, thermo/hygrometer, and glasses for $79 Canadian! Certainly not a sponsor here! Just grabbed it off Amazon.
 
Quick update. Just got a new Spider Farmer SF1000 about 2 days ago and here’s the ladies at day 62 & 61. The GG is on the left and CP is on the right. They stretched waaaay more than anticipated! Still have a lot of vertical space and have been doing a lot of defoliation so I hope they’ll be fine.

Happy Sunday AFN, hope everybody Had a great week.
Another update, the ladies are on day 73 & 71. CP on the left, GG on the right. I introduced some co2 into my tent and I must say, I can see the difference already after 3 days. Had to use some fishing weights to bend down the CP, it seems like it keeps growing half an inch every other day. The buds are starting to fill in to make colas and the sugar leaves frosty. If I can harvest at least 2oz from each I’d be happy. Especially for my first autos and biggest grow yet. It’s just for me and my lady.

Quick update for anybody still watching. Day 101. CP is Taller, GG is shorter. Both have insanely sticky buds and the CP smell is almost fruity like skittles.
