Sorry, you meant 4 weeks of flowering?
Yeah, 29th April it was was switched to 12/12 ish lighting. Although I'm not very precise, so some days its 10/14 some days its 12/11 some days its 9/12. So long as on average they get as much rest as they get work, they are happy enough.
Bigger delay than I expected. I ran into another issue. Normal compost wasn't available, so I had to just get what was. Long story short, it killed my plants. So I went elsewhere and what I could get, my one rescued cutting from a dying plant was not happy. So I went elsewhere. I've now got a compost that I think I can use. I've removed the one clone from its old compost, and put it in the new stuff and I think I can reveg it.
In the mean time, I popped some black ghash f2's I made, and then popped 40 bruised nuts. I kept the first 10 tri seedlings, and was happily killing the rest off when a quad popped. So I've planted another 40 in the hope of finding another quad. If I do, I'll try and do quad by quad seeds, but if they are the same sex, or if I don't get another, I'll do quad by tri.
Here's the quad seedling:

I've been coming back again and again for the last 16 years, no point stopping now. Should start throwing pics up again soon. No one wants to see seedlings though.
Up to 4 good quads now, two I killed off for diff reasons. Still popping. Each new quad causes the death of a tri. I've only got so much space. The black ghash are still going. Pics when things are big enough to know I'm keeping them full term. Should I keep this thread or do a new 4 + 4 = ? Thread ?
Thanks for popping in Big D. I'm going to see how many I get. I just got one more, so at 5 quads now. If I hit 8, I'll give them their own thread, otherwise they can have a corner in this one.
Mars, has the spectrum of the TS series changed? I saw you post they were 660 + white, but mine diff has blue chips in.
No I'm still using the one that you and unclefishstick gave me between you. If this isn't an accurate reflection of what you are selling these days, I'm happy to end the thread here. My plan was to run this thread for the life of the light though, in order to give people the chance to see all aspects of the light, including how long they can expect it to last. Another reason that I never turned the power down from 100%, which might have made it last longer than it otherwise will.
Oh the yellow colour came from my white balance setting, I was taking close ups of the quads, using a blue led torch, so I set the colour for that and then snapped a pic of the garden while putting them away, without resetting the white balance. That's my fault for being lazy.
