I appreciate it. Just wish I had been home more often to stay on top of things.
The real test is in the smoke.
I look forward to seeing how your next one turns out.

I hope something is good and strong for you two.
Iām shocked at the fast flowering times. I had no idea it could go like that in an F1 hybrid. Will the Triple Durban finish as fast? 10 weeks or so?
@Old-Ron. Iām using a 430 watt right now. Pretty close on size to your small light. What distance from the plants tops do you have the light and how far above the tops could I go? I donāt remember the area the light effectively covers well. I could stand to raise mine if I can do so and still have good growth.

Mine are running around 12 inches for most in flower. There are few shorter ones that are further away, and are a few that are closer. I do not have much room left in the one tent. Ones that are really tall I put closer to the walls of the tent to keep them out of the lights. I think you could go 18" in flower and be fine.
When they were in veg I ran it between 18 and 22" above, until they got too big, then about 12 to 14 inches.

They are all going in to their final darkness tonight. 36 hours of darkness, then cutting them down. Today is day 63.

All cut down? How does it smell drying?
@Badger I think I can safely ask you that question now that the old sniffer is working againā¦

Yes, they are all cut down.
I am not allowed at the flowering area for now. There was a bit of a disagreement, so Iām letting that blow over.
Iām sure curious myself buddy. We are on drying day 9 right now.

Yeah, me too. Itās so juvenile man, Iām about ready to throw in the towel.
Since then Iāve read itās not a big deal. The going theory is that most of the degradation that was seen, was likely viral. If you donāt disinfect your tools with bleach, you can pass it to your plants, from a cut taken in. This is what many think was termed as genetic drift.
If you are growing outside, itās nice to have that taproot off the seedling to give your plant more stability. Thatās about the list of advantages Iāve learned.

Not telling you what to do bud, but I would tell whoever it is to go take a hike and your done. Donāt let a little flower get you all twisted. Your good at what you do. I bet they would eventually regret not having you and will prolly ask for you backā¦

The problem is that itās family, and we were talking about family issues. Iām not letting it get me twisted, the issue is that I donāt really have a flowering area where Iām at.
And I completely agree with you. Iām just trying really hard to be the bigger, better person right now. Because in the end, what society lacks often times, are real men. Men that can agree to disagree and walk away, Duke it out, or whatever, then let it go. I have a new way of trying to be the change I would like to see.
In the end, Im just glad I didnāt sock him in the jaw after some of what he said. I can only control my actions, nobody elseās.

I never got round to sensi version. I used to gorilla grow on a push bike lol. Which is very much hard work with 50litre bag of soil on handlebars.
For this reason I used to use Dutch passions feminised version probably from same stock I would say but as a guess probably originally from Mel frank.
Grew it a few times as itās very reliable for the uk season. And I will say one thing for Dutch passion they were always spot on with flowering times. Unlike other Dutch seed companyās they were ready end of September.
Our climate can be a bitch and when you grow something for around six months you donāt want to get halfway through October and find itās not going to Finnish properly.
I couldnāt defoliate my grow spaces entirely for security reasons, so I could not guard against botryatis fully.
Most seasons ended up typically annaseed like description. But my first grow was my first time ever completing a grow in 2005. I had previously been gifted a plant from sensi in 1999 -2000 from a friend I had just sold 9 ounces of Columbian brick weed too. He got one of the packages that was still good, I gave another package away to a friend as it had mould. Water had seeped in Iām guessing it was dropped in sea on importation. There was also some super seedy weed there all had been lifted from a warehouse it was stored in by Iām guessing a disgruntled accomplice. I never finished that first plant I was gifted that I ran under an old street lamp I recycled from the building site I was working on as I got a chance to go and work in Holland in 2000. I started again in 2005 after too much exposure to soap bar hash.
That run was different from the rest, I made my own soil and my plants went out staggered and ranged from 5-6 foot to 1.2 metres.
And was the catalyst for me, donāt know why it was so tropical tasting as Iāve grown it many time after but to about 2 metres. Iām guessing a mix of the soil and that it never matured same like lamb rather than mutton? Or maybe seeds were mixed up ? Which I donāt think as itās a very uniform grow to my eyes same plant
