Grown from seed, seedsman, Critical Purple Kush. Mostly indica. Planted 16th November 2021.
Few teething issues at first, struggled with transplanting and knowing when to transplant, I also nearly drowned her because there wasn't enough perlite in her starter pot
lesson learned 
No purpling but I had issues with high heat, mostly because I was trying to push my luck as far as I could with lights, I had to back off because I think the heat stress made a Calcium Def worse
This girl's been on 12/12 For exactly 8 weeks tomorrow.
She's stopped drinking, I've gone from 1.5 litres a day to 1 every two days this week
I still think she has another two weeks to go. I also go on Vacation in 4 weeks so part of that is certainly wishful thinking. Would love some input on this?
Grown mostly with organics, biobizz bloom, and a use of Eggshell tea and Wood ash to balance a pretty fast oncoming calcium Def. (Literally the damage you see to the leaves appeared almost overnight, but I think it was made worse by some high temps of 32°C mid flower) and potash because I saw an early K Def. And corrected quickly, but I understand it's a good source of P as well)
I did just use a regular shop bought High N chemical nute.
Applied humic & Fulvic acids to the soil 5 times over the grow
Grown under 4, 25 watt Curly bulb CFLs + 2 25 Watt Blurple LEDs in veg
Added another 36 Watt CFL + 25 Watt Blurple in flower.
Light Penetration obviously sucks, I have been LSTing all the way through, from veg to flower to expose deeper into the plant and avoid trimming any leaves.
At this final two week stage, is there any benefit to stripping back even 25% of the leaves to increase further penetration? The fade has definitely started, even though I gave a decent amount of nitrogen yesterday the fan leaves are still dying off
A lot of my colas run Fairly long along the stem, but deep in the canopy they're not getting much light. I rigged the new LED (25Watt) as side lighting and rotated the plant regularly to help with bud formation
But definitely wondering if thinning back the leaves to increase penetration would be a good idea
This is likely to be my last grow on a custom built light board, I've got 5 decent grows under my belt now, time to invest in a decent LED light board
Few more pics
really looking forward to smoking this after a 3 week cure when I get back from vacation

(Had the time but not the funds thanks to lockdown last year lol) 
hoping to get this dried and into jars before the 5th of April now, then it can cure for a month whilst I'm away
