Way too much light buddy. For little seedlings go get a t5 grow light and keep it around 6" off the canopy.

First thing you need to do is tell us exactly what 1000w led you’re using because 1000w of led would be far to hot for your tent.

Ok the power consumption on that light is 185w not 1000w.

@coreywebster another LED guy for you to help.
My advice is if you haven’t got any experienced LED guys in this room wait it out for @coreywebster he knows his LED’s.
If its pulling 165 at the wall it's probably closer to a 300w hps equivalent not a 1000w. Its does change things and you can probably raise it up high enough so long as there isnt a heat issue. Just not vary efficient when a t5 wont require any cooling outside of a small fan.
I'm currently running 2 roi680e's and 3 600w kind and one thing I've noticed with LEDs is the manufacturer recommended hanging heights are way lower than they should be.

Most 1000w leds are going to draw about 100-200w from the wall

I’ve ran some amazon leds and they are never what they advertise. If you scroll down on that ad or any light ad you will find in the specs the actual power draw and that is what the actual wattage is of led lights. If you want a true 1000w LED you are gonna pay huge dollars for. Check out blackdog led. Probably not even the best you would get for the money. Do your research. The best led I got off amazon was an X6 Cob LED. They advertise it at 1800w but it draws 300w from the wall. It’s sunshine light kinda matching the spectrum of a CMH bulb. I hope this helps. 185w is gonna be decent for vegging a couple plants but no good for flower. You will need more wattage if you want good dense bud.

no no no..what roots?

They’re yellow because she lacks Nitrogen. Because she’s trying to root herself. Because you either planted directly or transplanted way to early. She can’t get Nitrogen either because your not giving her any or because your leaching it out into all that farm land You planted her in.
That is coco, right?
Its foxes farm happy frog soil

Which of course is perfectly fine.

Just remember the plants main goal early is to build a solid root system. The larger the pot the longer it takes to root.

They will likely be fine, just keep watering when dry.

This linked grow journal will show you the difference in performance between Happy Frog soil and Ocean Forest soil. Look at the two Dutch Passion Think Different strains. They were planted at exactly the same time and the Think Different in the Happy Frog soil is growing slower (even though I am feeding it General Hydroponics Flora series at 1/4 strength). This proves that Ocean Forest is better with no added nutrients *** if you are using this type of premium Autoflower genetics. Where did you get your seed? What brand and what seed bank?
Also, I have been on a strict watering schedule of every 3rd day and it works great: Water Today, Don't water tomorrow, Don't water the next day, Water the following day. I give each plant about 1 cup of water every 3rd day! Try it out!

Not necessarily.
your 2 different seeds could be expressing different phenotype variations within the same strain.
only if you were using 2 clones from the same mother would your point be proven.
im not saying you are wrong just giving you a different possible perspective.
my front 2 plants are grown in plain coco and are both the same strain CRITICAL+ by dinafem.
Having grown this strain from seed every year at least twice since 2013 I’ve seen many different variations of phenotypes within this strain.
so it’s not necessarily your soil choice that is causing elevated growth or different plant structures. (But it could be)
