Day 24 (DG) & Day 28 (SS) - More Realistic Photos
These photos are more realistic for checking for deficiencies.

Ignore all that bullshit brother… what you will take away from this grow is far more valuable than and dickheads opinion and thats knowledge.Someone on another website was poking (light heartily) fun at my tiny plants. Even went as far as to say, "Thanks (for the product list), I know what I am not going to use."
Then posted their 28-day growth pictures ... and they did look really good. Tall and full ... just beautiful.
This got me courious, I know I really hurt mine early on, and it had nothing to do with the nutrients and supplements I'm using on this grow. As I said before, it was drowing the seeds in solo cups and burning the shit out of them with too much LED. I took my foot off the gas and shit happened. They are doing great now, but look more like a 2-week-old plant more than ones going into their 5th week.
Here's a look at Super Skunk Autos at what others posted on their grow diaries inside the 4th Week tab. Below is my response on the other site.
Speaking of Stunting Your Grow
Just to make the pain more obvious. I went out to Grow Diaries and pulled a photo mix of Super Skunk Autos at "4 Weeks" to compare what the average plant looks like at at this point. I see I am not the only one who stunted. However most folks are way taller and fuller than mine.
All I can do now is just love and treat mine with respect. I have no regrets, because I learn something from these adverse situations.
Now let me get back in my rocking-fetal position while I keep muttering, "no regrets."

You dont learn from doing things perfect…. The best growers i kniw are the ones not afraid to fuck up and learn.
If they dont like your grow fuck them. Anyone can follow directions but those who fail, test and learn on their own are the ones who have the most knowledge in the end.
Of course you want to try to learn from others but NOTHING is better than first hand issues that you work out and learn from.
Its only a mistake if you dont learn from it and every mistake is a gifted chance to learn…. Head high and keep learning
the natural photos you started taking are so much better IMO.
Heres my Recharge and Gaia Green grow. It went ultra high on the nitrogen and turned the leaves so dark green they almost went black. Had to flush them hard to save the grow. But they survived and are getting better by the hour. There 23 days today from helmet heads. I had to go back and look at all the picture dates. I had them at a week or better older than they really are. They are a very early and unstable cross. Looks like two of the four are going to be good plants.

When adding Ca EDTA we are actually adding four things, a little water, Ca, EDTA and Na. Most importantly Ca EDTA is in reality 12.15% sodium, meaning you’re adding more Na than you’re adding Ca when you use it.
Because of the above, thinking about Ca EDTA as any significant portion of a plants Ca nutrition is going to be a problem. Adding 100 ppm of Ca through this chemical would imply adding more than 100 ppm of Na. This addition of sodium can start to be heavily detrimental to plants as higher and higher values are reached
Although there is not much in the way of scientific literature using Ca EDTA, we do find some reports talking about heavy toxic effects at concentrations near 2.5 mM (940.7 ppm), which would contribute around 90 ppm of Ca to a solution.
