Hey growmie, they look healthy, just too much nitrogen early on. That dark green shade and tight, bushy growth is usually the giveaway. At this stage they should be starting to stretch a little more. Living soil can run hot, especially in the first few weeks, and autos don’t like too much N while they’re still setting structure. It can keep them squat and delay the stretch. I’d ease off the nitrogen-rich inputs if you can, make sure your temps aren’t too low cooler temps = less stretch, and maybe lift the lights a bit to encourage upward growth. Just do some small tweaks now so they don’t lock in that short frame during stretch and flowering. You’ve got time. 🤞🍀❤️✌️

They are heavily overfed. Do you understand shades of colour ? Thats not green, thats almost blue already. Nitrogen toxicity, plants will stay small, uptake of other nutes will be blocked by nitrogen, about harsh harvest taste i dont speak even. Less is more - golden rule of growing. Rethink diet, i would put on plain water for 2 weeks at least , maybe 3.
