Welcome to Week #3 of the Sweet Seeds Cream Mandarine XL Autoflowering grow! It has been another quiet week in the tent with only two minor changes worth mentioning. The first change is pretty obvious and that’s the explosive growth. The tallest plant has grown 13" while the shortest plant has only gained 7" taking it to 1 foot tall. They have become much bushier- developing lots of branches and the stocks/stems have thickened up beautifully to support the upcoming bud weight. The second change worth noting is that two of the four plants are already in pre-flower. This is a little sooner than I had hoped for with XL plants but it is what it is. Hopefully they experience an XL pre-flower stretch and live up to the hype for this much anticipated strain- we’ll see! Everything else has remained the same- temperatures, humidity and watering schedule/amount. I will be increasing the water early in Week 4 to 2.8 litres every 4th day (0.7 of a litre per day per plant starting in Week 4). That’s about it for now, thanks for checking out my grow and I’ll see you soon!
I agree with your method for your lights I stopped using the dimmer on my sf2000s and just kept them at 100% and used the height for intensity adjustment and I noticed that my plants didn't become sensitive to light increase even when they got close to the lights once in flower.
Now I upgraded my lighting to ES300s and have to use the dimmer because they are more powerful but I just raised the one to 48" like you have yours. Come visit...
Good luck on your grow they look great 👍😍

@Cyrusdavirus, buds soon- yes! But I’m concerned about how full my little tent is going to be with so much growth in the past two weeks. Always an adventure!
