100% successful germination in a day. variegated leaves. grew to 30" in 4x4. quick bounce back after defoliation. had problems with yellowing and dry leaves reasons unknown.
worked well, smooth zippers. nice openings and easy set up. i like the additional steel bar to hang stuff from.
i do wish the bottom liner was a reflected surface and not black.
June 8 - veg : days 112 (16 weeks)

RAMBLING:
cut all 4 down today after 48 hours dark and no water for 2 days.
even after viewing many clear trics i believe they aren't maturing anymore and made the decision to harvest.
the plants themselves looked "old", dry leaves, much yellowing and basically near the end.
after cutting and washing, i noticed that the plants weren't as bad as i had thought. the small hidden bud sites were very green still, unlike the upper sites.
too early?
regardless im pleasantly surprised at the flowers produced. the mains were bigger than i had imagined and one clone was a brilliant purple throughout.
not overly scented but definitely a lemon scent.
washed with baking soda and lemon juice and placed on a "stack it" drying rack.
problems the last few weeks: high temps at 30C and humidity swings to 60% due to rain and an open window. this was the main reason i harvested today. fear of possible bud rot. perhaps i didn't need to worry but better safe than sorry.
im hoping without the leds on, the temperature will hover around 24 and 55% humidity.
other problems through this grow - malfunctioning timers (24 hour light for 6 days) and 2 power outages.
overwatered for the last 1/3 of the grow but the pots wouldn't stay moist and by morning bone dry. ended up watering in the morning and before lights out. 64oz each time.
all in all a successful grow with problems to be corrected next time. over watering, over feeding, light and heat burn.
dry (slowly) babies...
