congrats on a nice grow. You should be proud of the results you're getting. Next subject, Something is off on the size and way they are filling out. Not knowing everything but updated on the tab I'd surely go one extra week in veg. to let them branch more for end result more branchs/buds. If your not using FFOF i might think your soil could be holding back nutrients? Next, water cycle could be an issue with not letting the plants dry out enough between waterings. Something is stressing all those plants. I've had one or 2 in a batch go like your plants/clones a while back when I have too many variables in my plants. Experience says to me when I was starting in the hobby you do way too much to the plants. Less is more......Less, nuts, water etc. makes a plant happy.

Thanks, I do use fox farms soil and nutrients. I listed towards the beginning of this thread a few problems i've had.
Pests with the purps, and heat issues after moving to 400w. I'm slowly addressing the heat issue, and combating the pest
problems. My plants get watered only when needed, i wouldn't call myself an expert, but i'm not a beginner either.
I keep good logs on my grows, since this is my first time growing these four strains i'll be able to tweak nutrient levels
of future cuttings of these strains. If anything i'd be guilty of under feeding.
I really think heat is my biggest problem, until i can get a vented hood i've got a 170cfm fan extracting heat from
as close to the bulb as i can get the ducting. Heat is vented out the back wall, and passive intake from the open closet door.
Temps range from 84-92 under the canopy currently, with 78-82 ambient room temps.
As far as the size difference, the sc vegged for 1-2 months, topped 3 times, and is in a 3 gal pot,
while the other 3 vegged between 1-3 weeks with no topping and all 3 are in 1 1/2gal pots.

The Purps was harvested at 61 days female,
dried and ready for curing.
Sampled the bud before curing due to an overzealous
trim job, i cut too deep into a bud so i had a nice chunck
to test before the cure.
The aroma of the buds hints of lavender while the smoke
is peppery to the taste, with some spice and citirus flavors.
The high slams you in the head, and leaves you lying on the floor
like a rag doll with stars and birdies floating around your head.
I can't wait to revisit this smoke after a month or so of curing.
While she was a runt, and only gave up 30g of dried bud, it's
going to be a very nice smoke that i'll save for special occasions.
