Im afraid my Gorilla will outgrow the Lemon Cherry significantly in height, will that be a big problem? or will the lemon cherry maybe catch up a bit in full flower so the difference in light intensity wont be that big? both same age. Spiderfarmer SF-1000 (2024 Version)

You can use pot boosters or LST to control the canopy height. This way they are all aorund the same. Legit any bucket or box under the shorter plant will work. You can also useing topping as an option but it will hurt yeilds on autoflowers. Photos and Fast versions only. Some plant explode in growth in flower so it might catch up. but hard to say. best to look at other diaries of that strain and see how theirs went. Take into account different grow styles maybe part of it. Soil vs hydro, amendments vs liquid nutrients. Good Luck!

Just raise the pots of the smaller plants to get them to the same level as the taller plants. Put them on saucers turned upside down or anything that wont absorb moisture.

some can catch up in flower during stretch, others may not... you can train the plants or use pot elevators/risers to even it out. I've been surprised by some smaller plants (in vege) that explode in flower, but not common. if it's bushy in vege it'll continue to be bushy later more times than not. Sometimes you want a known shorter stature plant going vertical before a lanky strain.. train the taller plant a week longer while letting teh shorter plant grow vertically a bit sooner... the lanky plant will catch up before the end.

I'd LST the taller plant. If it well outgrows the other in height then raise the smaller plant.
