Yeh i'm really in 2 minds, but more leaning towards harvesting sooner rather than later. i COULD keep her going another week i guess, but if i did she'd get nothing but plain water. I duno i'll decide monday morning whether to chop or not, if not, i'll give her till thursday, but part of me thinks there's no point. The bottom of the buds are more mature than the tops, so there's still plenty of prime bud.
The sq foot print will be.... 8 sq ft. or 1m x 75-80cm (undecided)
Current one is... roughly 4 - 4.5 sq ft or 87cm x 40cm (dunno why i kept claiming it was 2sq ft earlier in the thread) - not the whole footprint is being utilised at the moment but with the next cab it will be

From what i've read LED technology doesn't quite match HID lighting just yet in terms of yield, health and vigour. It's close, but HID is better. I'm like 80% sure i'll be able to handle the heat with ease, the only disadvantage is the higher cost of running HID lighting. Plus i aint got the cash for a top of the range LED unit right now
for a 600 i could get you one for prob 7 to 800.00$ it will pay for itself in no time and theres no bulb replacement less heat flair, and 10 year life span! 3 year warranty. im currently doing a grower feed back program for 4 different leds If your interested let me know I have an in with a few companys. the one that realy stands out right now is the day star full white spectrum led the plant seems to be responding the best. ill keep you informed when i start my thread so you can follow

looks little bit smaller than i had thought..imagine if you took that at umm stage right before you put them into budding and put it outdoor and bury that trunk and as much of branching little into the grow year

Man I missed out on a lot! I need to check my subs more and quit being a douche. Awesome stuff and nice job on keeping her at a low height throughout.

hey i strongly think you should leave that plant in darkness for like 48 hrs to throw a last kick in and finish it up fast just to get its full potential

hmm i say you press and wait for the budds to be fully mature..i mean mold is chance but i think its worth the risk..plus as long as that fans going and lights you should be okay not sure how its doing now though and preharvest

Crap, did you take any close up pictures before you put it in the dark? I would love to see some before and after the dark period.

Thank YOU very much, i'll try
I would normally agree, but i contacted the breeder and he said Suze was ready to harvest a week ago. Also, for some reason, the bottom half of the branches are nearly fully matured, it's just the very top's that aren't quite there yet. But as i said earlier, should make for a good mix of high's/smoke.
The reason why i'm particularly scared of mold now is A.) due to the thickness and compactness of the canopy in the middle, and B.) there are quite a few dead and shrivled up leaves throughout the plant, that i wont be able to remove until i harvest, and these leaves will only increase the likelyhood of mold or something else forming.
She's had her 2 days of darkness now so can't let her continue anyway.
Took a few yeh, well someone else did, and they also took some panoramic shots, and 3 shots at different exposures of the whole plant to create a HDR photograph. I've got the panoramic ones, but they're 16mb each so i don't know where and how i'd go about uploading them. I'll give it a go later on.
I like to think it works wonders
