Autoflowers man, they will stretch some but if you want taller/bigger plants you will want photoperiod seeds.
Autoflowers grow best with zero stress.
Week 7 (I think) update. I guess I really just had to trust the process. I was away for a week. My brother handled the plants and they grew so much! The one Black cream auto is the tallest, and the rest are super bushy right now. The outdoor autos are much smaller but are much further along, they already have baby nugs flowering. The 2 OG Kush photoperiod plants have doubled/tripled in size since I was away, so I did some LST. Otherwise all seems well I think. There is some stuff on one of the plants that if anyone can help with, please do! Here are the affected leaves. Also I moved the lights up a little.
Finally transitioning to flower/ in early flower. They’re taking their time but finally got some baby nugs on there. Since it’s transitioning/ in early flower, should I switch the 3 Giixer lights to bloom? I set them to bloom and veg right now since it’s early- not sure if that’s the right thing to do tho.

Both bloom and veg switches usually flipped on those style lights

Slowly defoliating the autos. All but one are in flower. It’s day 69 or 70 I think. These autos are definitely taking their time. I harvested the little runt Critical 2.0 + auto outside cuz bud rot- I caught it very early. The northern lights auto outside seems to be thickening up nicely and I give it another 2-3 weeks. Mostly clear some cloudy trichomes. Also got 2 OG kush fem outside getting big. Gotta decide what to do with them. It’s gonna be annoying that the autos in the tent finish not at the same time.
Update: harvested the outside northern lights. It’s dried and in jars. Idk yield cuz my scale is fucked. The buds are airy but caked in frost- a decent high honestly. Got 2 OG kush fem outside. One has begun flowering. I’ll bring them in the tent after harvesting at least half this tent. This is the tent after a shit ton of defoliating- I honestly can’t be bothered to do more…. This took hours and hours to do. But blue dream front middle is looking ready to harvest in next few days, the black cream on the far left in maybe a week or two, and the rest at least 3-4 weeks likely. Here are some pics of the buds too. Honestly it’s been a ride, but I’m proud of what I’ve done.

You should be. Ecellent work!
Finally buds are going in the jars! It’s been such a long process. I finally get to taste the fruits of my labor! These are some of the better nugs I had. I didn’t do a ton of defoliation so I got a lot of larf, but the lard is still really frosty, so I’m gonna freeze it now and possibly make hash or edibles in the future. Left to right: blue dream, black cream, critical 2.0+. The critical 2.0 had absolutely massive nugs. All of them smell amazing, but the blue dream has gotta be the winner for me. It kicks ass. Still got 2 photos in the tent and one auto.

Save some for another two months of cure.
Let us know how it got better, please.
Weed-trim-bin?
Larf and Kief?
I definitely will be letting most of it cure. I don’t have a trim bin. I just trimmed over a plastic bowl. I’d say in total I’ve probably got a few ounces, maybe a quarter pound of trim and that’s including a good amount of larf. I collected as many trichomes as I could with my fingers and made a nice little ball of finger hash though. I also don’t have my scale with me, so I don’t know total weight, but I have a lot of jars. From 6 autos, I would say it looks like in between a quarter pound to a half pound. I gotta decide what to do with all the trim. Not sure if it’s worth it to invest in a hash setup to make bubble hash or sift and then press it, or just turn the trim into edibles. But it’s in the freezer for now.
Trim bin has screens (150 or smaller 220?) makes the trim weed process allow collecting kief.
Keif is a precursor for hash and smokes great, IMO
Just saying, more fun can be had.
Can be sprinkle dusted into joint before rolling paper.
Burns long, slow, and low.
