I hate to be that guy.. but switching to photos helped with that a lot.. little issues in an auto grow can easily lead to bad results.. where as a photo plants, that’s still true, but not to the same extent. The first few weeks of life is vital
For autos, however any issues in photos vegging, you can just wait to flip and smooth things out. even when I’ve nailed an auto grow with little issues - still had airy bud. Lots of ppl might disagree with me but just my experience
