Update: New bulbs came in, always the cheapest I can find. In this case $30/bulb. I always run my bulbs new from start of bloom to the end, then I finish the bulbs on the veg cycle of the new runs. Also cleaned the cool tube glass.
Flipped the girls to 12/12 today. Also adjusted the flood cycles to match. Did a thinning and the last adjustment to the height. From here on in since I have gone to flower, I will once a week look through nodes and trim any sucker branches that start to navigate away from the terminal stem by more then 1-2". The idea is to keep the canopy even, and light penitration as deep as possible. You can only assist this by Pruning branches that are trying to grow away.
@DinafemSeeds, I've already got my next batch started on veg cycle. It's the first seed type I had that got 1.9p last go. Hopefully I can get it better then that this time.
@Drtomb, Those are amazing numbers my friend. Typically the flowers dry to 20% of the wet weight so this is going to be a fantastic yield once dry and cured of course 👌
Congratulations on the harvest mate 👊
All the best ✌️

@Mrs_Larimar,it's a great number to be sure, but if you look at my pheno hunt side, you'll see that the skullcap produced 800g (this one averaged 376g/plant) on 1 of 9 random strains. That's a huge number for one plant, granted nothing is dry yet.
Excellent work! I'm growing the same strain (from seed) and it's really interesting to see that you are quite ruthless in removing side branches lower down. I left all the side branches intact and have loads of spindly shoots that don't look very productive! Next time I will get rid of them and hopefully get the big colas that you have.
Have a look at my diary and you'll see what I mean.
Thanks for showing how it should be done!
If Your 1 week or less into flower you aren't past the point of no return... But. I see your about 4 weeks in now. I should restate that i do not remove fan leaves, although you are way over run with branches.
It's funny these plants explode soon... You guys have done an excellent job with this strain. Those buds grt as big as a pop can. The transformation is upon us!
@Drtomb, So I see my friend. Those buds are in overdrive and getting HUGE 👌
Really nice work as you enter the final 2 weeks of this grow 👍
Thanks for the update mate. I'll drop back in on the next 👊
All the best ✌️

@Drtomb, now you are in bloom it won't take long to get that scrogg screen filled out 👊
Your looking in great shape mate, our Critical+2.0 is perfectly suited for this style of growing 👍
Now that the flower stage has started the real fun can begin and you can show us what you can do with this epic lady 😎.
From what I'm seeing so far, we are in for a really great show, Good luck let's see what you can do👍
All the best✌️
