Its Indica dominant… expected structure.
Autos run on its own terms. Give it plenty of light - water as needed and let it do its thing.

Whats your setup ?
lights
Nutes
Water
Ph
Rh / temps
Medium
Light schedule
Etc.

2 "1500" watt LED lights they are Chinese, but they have quantum boards and seem to be brighter than the mars hydro 2000 I previously had.

Fox farm with perlite and a lil mykos mixed in,, with natures living soil mixed in the bottom 1/3rd of the pot

PH unknown

Watering with great value spring water once about every 3 days, or when top inch of soil feels dry

Temp is 81.5 f, and rh is 46%

Lights are, and have been 24/0

Not sure why you would used “ bottled water “ but at least you picked a relatively neutral ph one. Some bottled run alkaline ( ph higher ) . You technically can run TAP water with that mix. It has ph buffers already within mix.

You can also drop Tap water ( if checked high ) with ph down to “ range “ it close to medium and plant.
FFOF runs around 6.3 … but 6.5-6.7 is fine

Those are 5 gallon pots too. I wonder if having the LEDs too close is why they're staying so short, currently I have them about 20" away, someone else told me they should be up to 40" away?? Could it be the needed to stretch more?

Im running some west coast og fast buds that had that same structure all 5 of them i was trippen too. I left them alone and around the 30 day point they suddenly grew tall fast they look awesome now and the buds are getting there. I would say leave them be and watch that 30 day spurt its a trip. I have two sf1000 leds at around 22" the whole time.

Yeah they started flowering at the same time they stretched around 30 days, maybe a few days after. Your plant looks very healthy i would definitely not defoliate it i read that autos are finicky and it would probably shock the shit out of it this early in its life. Once its had its stretch they really start moving. Im going to run purple punch and blueberry next. Keep up with the pics please im going to follow.

Eesh, I already snipped a few fan leaves off one, nothing major. We'll just have to see what happens compared to the other 3. One got some very minimal LST (I bent the fan leaves down blocking the branches w bud sites. Next grow I'm running Viking genetics amethyst hammer autos. It'll hopefully go smoother than this run. Thanks again man, I'll definitely update this thread as I go along. Do you have a link to your grow journal?

It's wider than it is tall, I moved the lights up already, is it too early to defoliate? What would you guys do? Purple punch auto, 3ish weeks.

I have a Fast Critical that started the same way, it was almost like a cabbage, looked just like yours. I pretty much left it alone except for some light LSTing mainly bent the main stem and it went crazy. I have bud sites on bud sites now. I bet yours does the same.
