Picture was from the 6th and just harvested a pound or so from the first flush. I was really hoping for a good canopy, but scaling up from shoebox grows has some differences that I am getting used to.

The pins stalled longer than they should have as this strain doesn’t seem to be a fan of lower temperatures and higher humidity. Once I bumped the humidity down, reduced the light and increased the temperatures, it finally exploded!

Note for admins and mods: The focus of this post is not on the species being grown here. It just so happens these strains are resilient enough for me to focus on grow methods and techniques while also getting fast results. This is 100% legal in my jurisdiction.
