First time grower here. This is my black jack autoflower about 2 weeks into flowering, I believe. Always love constructive criticism so send it if you got it, please!

Welcome to the community. I just finished my 4th grow. I like autos myself especially after the last grow I changed to hydroponic system. What soil, nutrients and lights are you using. Also how close is your light to your plants. The team on this forum will help make you a better more successful grower. Plants look healthy to me but notes seem to be far apart it is my understanding that light distance from the plant and light wattage is part of that problem. Warning this grow may make you addicted to growing

Thanks for the reply! I’m using DWC with advanced nutrients grow, micro, and bloom base. My light is as high as it can go in my 6ft tent. I’m running a 100w aerowave by vivosun. Tried to keep it about 1.5 to 2 feet above canopy, however it is now only a foot away maybe.

You need about 200watts on your lights per plant. Good quality lights. They can be expensive and I had to increase my quality of products as I could afford them over time. Now I have a few things in the corner of the closet I know longer use as I suspect a lot of growers do. I also think 18-20 inches above the plants the entire grow is the required height. Just watch for light burn and if you see signs back off a little…
Yea not long after buying the smart grow tent kit I originally bought, I started upgrading and storing the unused equipment. My next upgrade will be lights for sure. Thanks for the advice!

If you got the money to replace light hlg is haveing a 25% off sale and you can also get a 10/15% off with another discount code on top of the 25%. For example I recently purchased a hlg scorpion Diablo x for 984$ which was originally 1299$ before taxes or s/h so saved well over 400$ on it. And they are a top of the line.
They have a light for like 187$ before tax and such that’s 260w listed for a 2x4 tent which to me looks like what you are using. After sale it’s 250$. So if you can upgrade now is the time if you want the best!

Thanks! I’m going to check it out right now! I think when I tied the main cola down, I didn’t adjust the light and that’s why the nodes are stretched
Them turds told me i couldn’t use a discount code ontop of the 25% off sale 
Welcome to the community @Treeman 
It worked for me. I didn’t ask I just tried lol.
So it was actually 968.87$ for the light. Here’s a screenshot showing the discount
Had to edit photo didn’t want to get in trouble

Lmao i shoulda just did that too. It was my first HLG buy and was talking back n forth with a rep. They were helping me decide what light would be best for my grow room. It was my last question i asked 
See I already have a 2x4 that I used since 2021. So I figured this year I’m going to get a good light a decent tent and some really good soil and use it all mainly for flower. Use the 2x4 for veg for now lol.
