Possibly an auto?

I am about 30 days into my 1st indoor grow start to finish, and am starting to notice one of them stretching, putting bud sites on like crazy, as well as showing signs of preflower. Now, all 5 of these are from some REALLY good bag seed, 2 of which, the plants in question, was given to me. I know the grower of the Holy Grail strain, but do not know the original source of the Kandy Kush, and the Sour Diesel. I will get pics up as soon as possible, but for now, what do I need to be doing as far as light changes, nutes, ect.. Also, keep in mind all this is in veg under 4' 8 tube t5HO with 6500k tubes currently. Light timing is 18/6, temps are 73-78, RH 50-63% and I have 3 photos still vegging that I probably don't want to wait 3 weeks to flip. Lol

Ive got candy kush growing at the moment, thought it was a photo but it turned out to be an auto from auto seeds.

Should I be mixing my spectrum with 2700k/3000k tubes until they finish? How did it turn out? Mine is VERY compact and bushy as hell! The Sour Diesel auto seems to be bushy, but very stretchy once it started to change.

If it's an auto then Id hit it with as much spectrum as possible. Lots of light and with nutes I like to slightly burn them then back off, people disagree with that but I feel that's the best way to know the limit. Take it up slowly of course.

Mines still half way through, I stunted it because I didn't know it was an auto so it got root bound and started flowering so I reckon I'll get a tiny 20g plant. We will see. I have a grow journal in the vert section which I'll be updating soon.

Yeah, I already covered the slight burn then back off. Lol I caused a sulfer lockout. I flushed and came back with very vigorous growth! I started tying down my main stalks to a 90° angle and was amazed at how many good looking bud shoots there were already. I will have to get 4 2700k bulbs mixed in then. I still have 3 photos in veg so I don't want to do more than 50% I would imagine.

I did the 90 thing too and got good results with my auto dark devil. Super cropping was good too.

Great to hear. Thanks for the advice. I'm pretty excited to see the excelerated bud development. I have watched pretty closely with my outdoor grows with photos. Will be kinda cool to see in a bit faster speed. Lol

Yeah I did an outdoor grow and my autos blew me away, I really do think I'll return to autos they have their place, ive got yields of 250+ grams from just one plant under a 600w HPS, but im aiming for more and only photos can give you that.
