Plants seemed super short coming into week 3, I've raised the light 60cm above plant to encourage some stretching which it definitely has done this week. I'm watching the plant closely as moving into week 4 could mean moving into flower...
They look pretty happy. Watered every 2.5 days, leaves and soil misted with ph balanced water morning and night.
I'm toying with the idea of throwing in some far red light for 4 hours to see if it helps develop the plants more.

Far red light ordered aswell as a UV bulb.
Plants seem to be doing ok, noticed a few leaves on RC#1 had curled tips so held off on watering for 3 days which seems to have done it some good. Snapped a lower branch on RC#1 during LST, wasnt a clean break maybe 60%? I've glued it back in place to see if it will bounce back. The brand feels floppy and lifeless at the moment but I've supported it properly so hopefully couple days it will repair itself. RC#2 also fell victim and lost a fan leaf.
Last week a couple of stems were going soft mid stem and becoming paper thin. Leaves all looked healthy. I think it was maybe a sign of over watering? Seems to be ok now but stunted the plant for about 5 days give or take. Would just like a rough idea to the causes.
Looks like you had or have nutrient lockout. There is signs of overdose in your leaves. Give your poorly girls a nice heavy flush if you haven't already and lay off the nutes for a week. Start adding in small doses. Try adjusting your pH level. Do you check the soil pH too? 👍🌱
Im a little concerned. The plant was dried for 8 days to the point the stems were just about to snap/ crack. Now it's all been harvested into jars the smell isnt filling me with confidence. Should I expect the smell to mature with the next few weeks?
Minimum 30 day cure, then see where you stand. I find cured buds lose some of that strong smell when in the peak of flower.
And if it tastes like it smells, then even better bonus when done.
Like the above growers said it will improve with time as the cure goes on
I've been told to dry trim also to help avoid any hay type smell
Wet trimming apparently gives a hay smell
