Are you going to log this in a thread? If you do please Tag me in I have two plants i am trying this on. :pop:

Things are good enough over here Arty.

Hey Step, Not much crackin going on I'm afraid, it's after 2 Am here so I'm gonna go hit the hay in a moment.
I'll quickly show you my young plants before I disappear.
View attachment 697397
Here's what's going on at the ranch, 6 Dinafem Fruit auto's, 50% of them getting Optic Foliar's "Over Grow" spray under 300w of NGL DIY COB Kit.
It's restart of a test I had to knock on the head.
They'll get transplanted at sex, which will be in the next day or so, one was showing her very first hair today, I'll wait for the rest to catch up.
Transplanting at sex interrupts the stretch and keep em short & stocky, which is what I want for the space i grow in.
I need to be careful as the Cobs have Khatod Silicone lenses, which focus the light really well & can cause lensing leaf burn, when they are sprayed with Optic Foliar or Epsome Salt spray.
The light being concentrated by the water drop acting like a magnifier on the leaf.
I found I need to turn down the intensity when I spray and then I turn it back up after the leaves have dried.
Currently the light is 27" above the plants and not single bit of stretch for the light, this COB light is seriously kicking out some bright light.
Well that's me for tonight,I'll see you all tomorrow.
Good night & sleep well

First rule of FF.
Always spray in the dark period. Found carved in stone at the base of the first mother plant.
But that was before the wetting agents that prevent the droplets that lead to burns. Now there are many with the opinion to leave them alone in the dark to sleep.
I'm gonna watch the issue for a while before deciding but this old dog loves new tricks.
It's not really new. I have always added a couple drops of dish soap but still only spray on the dark side.

And they lock up guys in the parking lot for scalping?

I was asking the age because I have some around 12 days and can't really tell how they're doing. Under that Blackdog Phytomax at 58" I just can't figure if they're about the right size.

Nice looking young'uns.
58" wow that's high and the plants internodes are so compact, that is one powerful light!
They should start to take off now.
You have 3 sets of full leaves showing after the cotlyledon and single blade true leaves, with a forth set nearly to out too.

The second pic
This one is dragging it's feet a bit but it is not much behind the first pic.
I've seen smaller plants at 12 days and slightly more advanced plants at 12 days.
The difference for the most part can be down to enviromental conditions.
In the winter and especially under LED the temps can be a few degrees cooler in your room and the plant growth is just a little slower.
Concrete floors can also suck up heat making the root zone cooler.
Thermal root mats or raising the plants of the floor or just putting them on a sheet of polystyrene will help warm/insulate them from the floor if this is the case.
A thermostatic room heater may help if temps get to cold.
Your plants are in the ball park for 12 days, it is just that they are really compact with very short inter nodes, that they look like they should look bigger, if they had had to stretch for the light a bit more.
I'm also wondering how long is your dark period and is it at night? the room will cool more at night as the ambient temp outside you room/tent will be cooler than if the dark period was in the day, may be a bit of chill could slow them slightly?
Give it another couple of weeks and they'll start to stretch and look more normal.
