that was my 1st guess... less light. distance from the light makes a big difference too. i think i read that 18 inches is optimal.
EVERYTHING makes a difference, colder temps could slow growth i bet and if they're underwatered, they won't grow as much. plenty of nutes will help too.
a tip i picked up that might help too is to rough your gals up a little by twisting their stems. that causes damage and when the plant repairs it, you'll not only get strongerstems, but better nutrient uptake. that's why it's always recommended to have an oscillating fan... same thing, just not as drastic as bending & twisting.
even putting beans in a warm humidity dome will speed up their early growth enough to give them a head start. i'm not sure, but i think a lot of my beans last year weren't doing well because my room was too cold. it affected strains from a bunch of breeders at different banks even, so i know it wasn't just a case of bad beans and in fact the C99s that were 100% just a few months early were something like 3 out of 5 when i was having trouble with EVERYTHING.

No, you guys are right. I run a Hortilux 250 over 2sqft (4 plants), so obviously no plant is getting optimum attention from the light. And the lanky SLH is tied down along the perimeter of the tent because I essentially ran out of vertical space.
So that does explain alot. I'm still jealous, this grow is boring as shit.

yeah... that's not enough light. IBLs are REALLY fussy and demand as much light as you can give them. i think even 400w in 3 gallons wasn't enough for my highland thais that hermied as soon as they started flowering. they also had a really stony buzz that they shouldn't have either even if they definitely had IBL growth pattern and authentic tutti fruity odor.
with just 250w, you might do better with really compact lowryder strains or get another light at least. then too, you could run 1 each of halide & sodium.
when i get my shit wired together and try to grow again, i'll be adding a 400w sodium to my 400w halide. you can virtually never have too much light... too much heat? that's a different issue.
if you can, maybe you should LST or SCROG your plants so you can give them better coverage with the light just 18 inches away. if you SCROG in particular, you'll trick your plants into thinking every bud is a top cola. that should improve your harvest.

My SLH does like water. I have to water every two days at minimum. If I stretch it further, it really slows down the budding.
To keep my plants shorter, I top all of them and I start them on the twelve hour day when they are relatively short. Thankfully my two SLH slowed down and will probably be 36" max...but it is too soon to tell for sure. I have had sativa dominant plants that never stop growing.

I love my SLH!!! I still have a little from last years grow. It can be trippy; if you have not experienced that you just have not smoked enough of it in one session. I decided to smoke TWO bowls one night and I got seriously fucked up. I really did not like the feeling.
That's good though, you can save on pot that way.
Better than weed that disappears before your eyes.

When we lived in Cali, my son knew where I was keeping my stash and he helped himself to it. He was home all day, not working and I worked full time. I had one little medicine bottle full of ground up bud that I was using and he was emptying big cans of it smoking it through his hookah. Damn that hookah!!! He even smoked all but about 1/2 gram of my damn hash! He can smoke anybody under the table, just like his old man did back in the day.
It did disappear before my eyes, LOL.Well I got some shwag right here I just can't stop puffing on. Might as well be tobacco or something, it won't be here for long -- and ain't nobody helping me with it either.When we lived in Cali, my son knew where I was keeping my stash and he helped himself to it.

Ok, so I think my lady is ready or at least I'm planning to chop it on Thanksgiving day, should be solid 70 days in flower by then. I noticed a little degradation in the trichomes but in a very minimal quantity, I guess I was just wondering what is the preferred ratio of cloudy trichs? I'd say I'm seeing about 95% cloudy, should I go for it?

That's the one mike, her pistils make her stand out among others. This smoke simply cannot be mistaken with any other either while growing or after the cure. I lovet. I Lylelovet. I have some going through the cure right now and its private stock

I would yep. I try to harvest my sativa dominant strains before I get much amber if any.

Is the pre-harvest drill the same? Cut off lights and water 48 hours prior to the chop?

That is all personal preference. I pull it, chop it, hang it, cure it and smoke it. I don't go through the darkness and the flushing or believe in any of the ash color nonsense. To each their own!
