So started my second run and got everything dialed in but this time I’m running with spf-1000D and the normal spf-1000 is that too much light for the plants that would slow them down ? Together the lights should be around 200w
Sounds about right. They should have dimmer switches or you have the ability to raise and lower the lamp if necessary. Finding the correct amount of lux for your plants can be tricky but is also very important, too much or too little can make huge differences in how the plant grows
Your plants look healthy and "normal" to me, and I am not sure what you are worried about.
Sativa or sativa dominant plants usually have very narrow leaf blades and some Indica/indica dominant strains will have very broad leaf blades at first, then when flowering commences, revert to growing leaves with narrow leaf blades, possibly as an adaptation for allowing more access space for pollen to find its way to the pistils/flowers, but this is just a guess by me.
Your plants know what they are doing, so just continue with your current care routine and all should be well.
As a tip, next grow fill your pots right up with soil, this will provide vastly more room for root growth, leading to bigger plants and this also helps to prevent any fertilizer salts building up to possible toxic levels and also helps with maintaining a more constant/consistent moisture level. Your pots won't take up any more room in your tent, but your plants will be much happier, and by sitting up higher in the pots, they will receive much more of the reflected light than they do by being in the shadow of the pot "walls", and this will lead to bigger/faster growth, especially with the lower branches.
After all, the soil is the cheapest part of the grow and skimping on its use is false economy, as it just limits the growth of your plants. By having more soil, it also cuts down on the need for supplemental feeding, thereby reducing costs slightly.
Feeding your plants with amino acids, humic acid or fulvic acids (or all 3 for best results!) will really boost your plants, particularly at the beginning of and throughout flowering.
Hope this helps,.............

Do you guys think it would be better too take my photos and separate them from the autos because the tent is getting pretty crowded my theory was that I would grow these autos out while vegging the photos and then flip the photos when the autos are done
Yeah People mostly try that Move only once... ( Myself included😂)
If you got the Space and Stuff i would go for it since the Photos could be exploding by the Time the Autos are ready...
Or you go for some hefty training and what not and still may get some giant Plants.
I mean they wont overgrow your Tent overnight but yeah...
I have 3 of the same autos gg4 and I started them all the same one grew faster one grew slow and okay but question is do they all develop flowers different because ones really frosty already looking good and the other 2 are slacking a bit and look not a filled
Yes not all plants grow exactly the same which is referred to phenos.
Some may grow taller. Shorter, bigger buds, different colours, and some may even have different terpene profiles depending on the genetics.
Most breeders, do multiple breeding cycles to get a uniform way of growing but even those can have different characteristics.
So in my tent I have it completely open because of room but my temp and humidity device sits in the side pocket that came in the tent about canopy height but I put it down by the pots on the bottom of the tent and it’s dropped about a whole 3 degrees which one should I go off of
I see the nutrient you use is 4-6-2
That's not a great ratio, imo. Okay as a root boosting amendment, or late veg/early flower, or if you've mixed it with another PK source (like MKP) for flowering.
Typically, ratios in flowering should be closer to something like 1-5-3 imo. Though ideal balance varies a bit depending on plant, flower structure and maturity. Like a plant with more leaf/branch materials, more nodes will typically imply a bit more potassium. Less nodes, branching, though larger flowers, typically more phosphorus.
So I have my plants about too finish but not all so I have too find a space too dry them when I chop them down and what would be better trimmed hang dry for a day or 2 and then push them in jars but boveda packs or is 71 61 too high F & RH
If you are limited on available places to dry you can try the following (mate of mine did it with no ill effect)
Cut wet & split branches away from main stem.
Hang buds above your light (he used LED so heat wasnt high)
Make an opened ended 'cocoon' of black paper and clip loosely around your buds for some light-proofing.
Point a fan in direction of the open end of the dark zone for some airflow but don't give the drying buds gale-force winds.
Weed dries in a good environment, plenty of air flow, heat and light won't damage your THC, if RH isn't too high you shouldn't have an issue, keep your extractor running as it will deaden off the smell.
Cool like from Komar there with lots of good info actually but I’m not sure what exactly from that he was pointing to.
If indeed you are treating them exactly the same, yet seeing differences - I’d go more towards genetic differences between seeds, even if it’s the same strain it’s gonna have slight differences. The less stable the genetics are from the breeder, the more you’ll notice.
I just had two purple punches from seed going, and in veg the one looked real bad and was showing nitrogen toxicity and droopy/curly leaves (among other symptoms) The other one wasn’t showing any of those signs and growing much better than the other. I was giving them same feeed and same conditions.
PS Those buds are looking awesome in your diary!
