Lanky growth, bad genetics or??

OG Kush is a straight Indica so it's probably not genetics, especially since all your plants have stretched. Best guess is not enough light/lights too far away. What's your light source?

I stand corrected. Apologies, the memory must be going.
The light was the important part though. I don' know anything about those lights though.
This is what I’m working with right now.
The rear center plant is 16” from the light and the L/R ones are 33”. They are within a few days of each other age wise. They were all potted on 2/9.
The tall one looks like it has amber tricomes already.
The only other light I have on hand is a 4’ T8 fixture with regular daylight spectrum bulbs. Should I add that between the 2 led?

Amber on the leafs or calyx?
There’s always a pheno that stands out from the rest so it could be that.
They are labeled as fsgtek but same light as other but different stickers. $100 Amazon specials.
The leds have already slightly yellowed from an initial slightly white. One Fan already has bearing noise.

t8's typically are able to be touching the leaves or i may be thinking of t12's. I run a few t5's. I would put them along the edge of a tent suspended very close to the canopy to get a little extra light on them if thats what I was working with. you could also take reflective material if you have it to really reflect the light to make it more dense

I would guess it's those lights. What is the actual power consumption? Those companies make false claims about wattage.

i have 3 og kush from seed in a tent atm.
they all show dif. phenotypes.
one grew very lanky, no matter how much light i gave, so i think its genetics.

Next time you buy lights, I would get some higher efficiency, higher quality ones that don't need fans to cool them. The quality ones are reasonable anymore. You already have bearing noise, not a good sign.
Thanks. I was aware I was buying subpar lights, but didn't realize how much so. The plan from the start was to use these to get started then assemble much better strip lights once I had a chance. Once I get the other lights, I'll "attempt" to warranty these.
