This is most likely the problem. Hang your light about 20" above the top of your plant and it should do a lot better. Small plants do not like the high intensity of leds at close distance. What is your water ph?

pH is 6.8, although at the start of the grow I was using just tap water, I have since done alot of research and realised I need to pH the water as it's 7.5ph out the tap.

Try dropping a little further to around 6.3 maybe. But definitely try to raise that light

I've went and made it 20", and took some more pics, next fed IL go to 6.3 thanks for the info.

If it still looks all wilted after a few days, either raise the light some more, or dim it slightly. These leds are really strong. This is a hlg 135w at 22" from the tops in a 32x32 just to give an idea of how much light is really needed for your plants

IL give that a try as I know I can turn my light down on the drivers, I'm running 425w at the wall right now, you're plants are lovely looking, IV got high hopes for my other 3 Northernlights that I have going, they are much more developed compaired to my ak at the same stage.

Very nice, as Im new to this I thought my best bet would be to go with some autos until I get some experience, but my plant at 7 weeks old should have been bigger than it is, I ordered 5 Northernlights fem autos and they threw in the ak as part of the deal, thinking about it now, it didn't give me any info on the ak just that it was an ak, could this be a pheno and I don't know?

There are always struggles at the beginning. From what I hear autos are not the greatest for beginners due to the limited life cycle. A mistake anywhere along the way effects the final outcome greatly. You should be on the right path soon tho and things will get easier. Plenty of seeds out there

Yes it's a labour of love for me now, IL get some knowledge in my new hobby, I have always been interested in this from afar but never had an incline to actually go for, it's highly illegal here in the UK, I won't ever have more than four plants going though.
