After sampling these all over the last week I am happy to drop the bubblegum, GBOG and runtfruit. The Mandy and OKC are just so much better.
And I think they could maybe go to 10 weeks although I havnt inspected the trichomes with a microscope yet. Will actually do that right after this post.

I altered my DIY LED veg light. The bars where too close together so I got some more aluminium and made it more square.
The last set of veggers where getting less than ideal light on the outer edges.
Now the light is much more even. I also decided to ditch the lens covers which I feel focused the light too much.
These veggers are growing nicely. Ive said this before but I love the aero cloner. Once more I had visible roots after just 5 days.
I like to let them root for 2 weeks and then pot them. So this is 3 weeks after I took the clones and 1 week after being potted and put under the veg led.
During rooting stage I light them with a single 10w CFL diffused with some white foam.
I’m just tuning in for the first time, your setup looks great! The net really allows you to make the most use of your space.
I was wondering if you ever considered under canopy lighting? A recently published study found that a bit of supplemental under canopy light increased yield, cannabinoids, and terpene content.
Yeah I was thinking LED strips. What made me think of it is you can really see how dark everything is under your canopy. A few years ago, I would have thought cool, all of his photons are being caught by the plants. However, with changes in technology and our understanding of the plant, I now see it as a potentially missed opportunity.
I should advise that I don’t have any first hand experience with this myself, but is something I have been looking into a lot. I flower outdoor during our dry season, but next time I flower in the cabinet I plan on adding maybe 10-20% under canopy lighting.
