Thanks for the insight. I'm surprised they have been going 8 weeks. They look like there at about 4 weeks judging from my plants. Yeah, I am going to let mine go for 9 weeks, hopefully they will fatten up a little. You should probably try to wait till 11 weeks I guess.
Man, DWC is def. the way to go... not sure if I am ready for all that though, especially nice I am on the second floor, so my res ever leaked, that would not be good. You have a lot more light on yours, I have a 400 watt hps, and yours are about a foot and half taller than mine, so I'm sure that helped too. My yield still won't be comparable though, nice work.
Did you end up topping them or not? I topped two out of my three girls and they are going to yield more I think than the one I didn't top. You will have to post here when you get the final yield, I must know
