Is that perlite mulch?
I do use perlite in my soil mix, but the sun is reflecting on the soil in a way that makes it look like there is much more in it. It's only about 20% perlite, at most. Sometimes watering makes the perlite float to the top from first inch of soil. But in person, I think the red clay kinda has a sheen that is adding to the look in the photo.
 
Growing long flowering sativas indoors in the mid atlantic region of the US I found that temps made a huge difference in my setup.

Much better results if started to flower them in November/December. The grow room temps would drop down to the low 60's at night. Compared to 80 - 85 with the lights on.

I had 2 keepers, one went 14 weeks and the other 16 weeks to finish. The difference between harvesting in March vs August was very noticeable.

I played around with light cycles, MH, HPS, combined MH and HPS, supplemental/limited UVA and UVC.

The first run of Nevil's Haze purchased from Heaven's Stairway in 1999 was harvested in mid summer. I wasn't impressed. The clones harvested in mid winter much closer to what I expected.

LED lights help a lot, smaller containers help too. 10/14 light schedule to finish
