Node spacing question.

First auto grow. If you haven't seen any of my previous posts my set up is as follows... 2x2x5 tent, CLW Solar Storm 440, 4" inline with carbon filter, 3 gallon pots with 1:1 FFOF/Happy Frog (with a pocket of the Frog for starting), 1 Northern Lights and 1 Bubblelicious from Nirvana. The pics below are the NL which is now 4.5 days old.
Being totally new to autos I am unsure, but it looks like the spacing is really tight. Is it just too early for it to have any stretch or should i make adjustments? If so, what changes would you recommend?

Do you want the thing to get really stretchy and fall over? Looks fine give it time it just grew its first set of real leaves.

The tighter the better, especially with ruderalis and sativa. Don't mean to scare you but you are gonna be disappointed with the autoflowers, I haven't tried either of those two so maybe you'll find a good one, but I have grown 15 different strains of ruderalis and they were all the same, big soft fluffy buds with no potency whatsoever, they're just not as well developed yet, maybe in 10 years you might see some more potent auto's.

The smoke will depend on strain and environment. I have 2 autos going right now. Critical rapido. One is effin huge and only on day 11 .ow, the other is on day 8 and is doing well. I rotate and move my plants up and down. I find it easier to move my plant up and down. I have different size plants in mg closet.

Have you tried some of the Bomb seeds strains? I've tried the AutoBombs and the THCBombs and those autos seemed very stable. Done them three time now and I've gotten generally the same pheno each time. Very hard and tight buds. You could use that cola as a weapon lol. The potency is nice in both but the THCBomb seemed much stronger. All in all they were nice a surprise for me since I usually stick to the photo side of things.

Thanks for the suggestion, I will definitely try them out.
