do i germinate one more?

1 of four seeds has not germinated, it was supposed to be 2 jack herer at the front and 2 northen light on the back, all auto. do i put one more to germinate? or am i to late? am planning to do LST and trimming to combat the lack of space (22" x 22"), and that should maintain the height difference in check.
What do you think?

One more question, i'm using 4 citizen CLU048-1212c4, with no lenses running at around 37,5 watts each one, with a distance of around 16 inches. Is that ok? it is my first time with cobs. They seem to be growing fine. The one at the front has around 13 days since it sprouted, and the 2 on the back 11 days.

Thanks

I germed some seeds and then added some more two weeks after the first ones popped, they caught up and beat the others in size and yield.
But depending on what strain your growing its gonna get real crowded in there, especially with good cobs as described. I'd stick with the ones you got and prepare for a long fight for realestate

I think I'd just go with the 3 in that small space.

Ok, thanks. I will stay with 3.

Should i remove que fourth pot, put the front on in the middle, and then LST it toward the back and the other 2 toward the front? or should i stay this way, and LST the 3 toward the empty space?

What do you think?

Did you just ask if you should take the pot full of soil, but no plant out of the box?

I didn't express myself correctly. Of course the empty pot is gone.

The question is how a should do the LST? i always did only topping, but this is my first batch of auto, and the general recommendation appears to be to do only LST. It is my first time with LST as well, so i was wondering what would be the best approach with 3 plants in this space.

I was think in 2 possible option: puting the front on in the middle, and then LST it toward the back and the other 2 toward the front, like 3 archs with alternating directions or stay this way, and LST the 3 toward the empty space.

Any other idea will be much appreciated, thanks.

If you lst toward the middle you might end up jamming everything together. It's best to give them their own space because you don't know for sure how vigorous they will grow.

Yeah, you're right. I was thinking maybe lst the Jack and the right Northern towards the free space, and top the cornered Northern.

Hi, 2 days ago i started to lst the jack at the front, and at the same time i topped the northern at the back without seeing it slow down. should i top of lst the other northern?

And, how do you see their overall size until now? I was told that autos grow much more quickly, but i don't feel they are any bigger from what i remember my last couple grows where. it is my first time with autos and cobs.

The front jack has 18 days since it sprouted and became airborne, the back northern has 16 days, and the northern at the right 15 days. 20/4 light cycle. what do you think?

thanks
