Thanks! Taking struggle I had on the start the result is not too bad. Could be much better, though.
Detailed description on lights is here: https://rollitup.org/t/led-qline-passive-glow.1024719
They cost me around $8 each plus driver around $30. Bought them in a local horticulture shop. For "vegetables" lol. Same lights but "weed"specific in grow shop cost $15-$20.

Thanks very much for taking the time to reply, yeah im on my second grow now and I'm finding it to be more of a struggle than the first lol, it will be worth it in the end, and great ill have a look at that info later after work cheers, also I look forward to seeing your end results, thanks again

I get stoned and forget that I have plants to grow.
Next time I will mark in calendar everything I do. lol

Yeah same here , as I do most of the work on them on an evening, I do that work high haha, regardless of that the last lot turned out great!

9 weeks (breeders flower time) since flip to 12/12, 16 weeks since sprout. #2 is ready to harvest, but I probably will give her 5 days to a week more. #1 is far away from harvest - still maybe 3 weeks more.
One of buds on #1 got broken when I moved plants in grow space for watering. So I took her to test smoke and make trichoms picture. On the look there are 50/50 milky/clear.

Found seeds in my weed. I think, due to all that struggle my plants had been through, one of them had hermed. Or both of them.

After 10 weeks since flip to 12/12 light cycle #2 was harvested.
#1 would benefit from going couple of weeks more. But I cut it as it is full of seeds and flowering it more doesn't make sens. I think that was she who hermd and pollinated #2 as #2 had only a few seeds.
Now both plants are drying at 58-64%RH. Later I will post dry weights.
Most of #1 I will use to make cannabutter or glycerin tincture. Biggest and ripest buds I will leave for smoking. From smaller ones I will collect keef and rest I will grind and use to make edibles.
I've got a little bit of hand hash that was smoked in a day.

So here are the final results.
#1 yielded laughable 14 grams (0.5 Oz). Including 6 grams of popcorn buds.
#2 did significantly better yielding 28 grams (1 Oz).
Both plants gave 59 grams (2 Oz) of trim and fan leaves. I got some more hand hash while final trimming.

I had smoked a couple of grams of each plant's buds before weighing.
Now buds are in jars for curing process. Question to anyone who may know: is it better to store and cure buds in the fridge or not? My room temps are around 20C.

Next step with this plants will be making cannabutter from trim and leaves and glycerin tincture from popcorn buds of #1. Any advises on making tincture are appreciated.

Nice grow. That 10 week phenotype looks amazing.

I grew out two of these earlier in the year that I got as freebies. They were both very similar - and nothing like either of yours. To be honest mine were more like haze. The first one took 12.5 weeks of 12/12 after 5 weeks veg, and the second one took 13.5 weeks and could have gone longer. They both had that cat piss haze smell with just a hint of chem/fuel in the background. Super strong effect, smell, and flavour.

I've just cracked another one and it's up and doing well. Thought I'd come on here and check others experiences and am pretty shocked how different our experiences are. I was expecting and hoping for someething far more like your plants. This time however I' m hoping for another of those haze ladies - bet I get some indica ones though like yours look.
