Shes looking strong. The soil mixture looks great, good color, a nice mix with the perilite. The plants structure looks pretty perfect too, it's not looking stretched at all and has nice even nodes. The couple burnt leaves at the bottom don't seem to be continuing? My little bits of advice would be to always go easy with new products and changes slowly as the autos are on a time limit and sometimes cant get fixed fast enough. Also I see you mentioned adding 2 more plants, what's your tent size? I think staggering your germination dates like you did will help with rotating the plants in and out (harvest, vegetative, seedlings). Lastly I've heard the "xxl" strains have a tendency to take a bit longer than a typical autoflower would, plan out your transplants and remember that typically the bigger the pot the bigger your weed can get. Keep up the hard work, and give us as much details as possible. Happy healthy growing.

Ok. First mistake I see is nutrients, you do not feed seedlings, they burn easily. That 5 liter pot will last you at least a month without the need for additional fertilizer. I would flush the media of it. Second you are watering too much, at this stage give the plants a glass (250 cc) of water, which should last 5 days or so, when the media is dry again, you repeat the same amount, as the plants grows, that amount will last you less time, when it lasts 2 days, you double the amount of water, rinse and repeat. When to fertilize? when you spot the first signs of nutrient deficiency, not before.

Hi @Fieldys_89! We're missing some crucial informations here, what's the medium/soil, where does it come from and what's the brand? Your soil might be too rich for such young seedlings. Have you been giving any nutrients? I see "Ionics" written above but I have never heard about this, are you using "Ionic Nutrients" by Growth Technology? Judging from what I see on your pictures, I think you over-watered your plants, roots need to be on a wet/dry cycle, in order to search for water and spread everywhere. Also, your light<--->apex distance is a bit high. HID bulbs are not supposed to burn your babies unless they touch the bulb, so you can decrease this distance to 25cm, this will help in drying the medium, and the more light plants can get, the more nutrients they can 'digest'. Finally, I can't see the air intraction in your tent, are you sure your babies can get enough fresh air / are you sure your airflow is continuously regenerated? You may need to open the small windows on your tent's sides, this will help in renewing the air and cooling down the environment. In this scenario, I'd transplant asap to a 10L container, because 5L is just not enough for the whole veg+flo cycles, then I'd increase the airflow by opening the tent's 'windows', then I'd decrease the plant<--->light distance, then I'd be very careful with waterings, giving water only when the medium is dry. Hope this will help, I'll be around, keep us up-to-date and happy growing 👊

You seem to have a good plan to me. The biggest mistake new growers typically make is overwatering. Be careful not to overwater. In the seedling stage they might not need daily waterings/feedings. Put your finger in the soil about 2 inches. If the soil feels damp, wait another day to water. Good luck!👍

Hi there ! I can see a curling up leaf on your Bcn , could be an heat issue ! Don't give her too much water I would gave her les than 0.5L , maybe around 0.2/0.3 at this stage.
