In this case, assuming 50k hours until 70%, with a maximum number of hours you could have even run the light being just over 13,000... You might have seen just under 8% light loss. That's IF you ran it 24/7.
End of nerdy math. Beautiful grow!

I compared the heights of CBD Magma and Critical Kush from last grow to this one...at 38 days, when I flipped to 12/12, all plants were 13 inches in height. At 30 days of flowering, the plants this time around have an extra 11 inches in height! Last grow, both CBD Magma and Critical Kush were at 28 inches in height at day 30, and finished at day 62 at 32 inches in height. This time around, the Critical Kush is already 42 inches in height (an almost 30" stretch in 30 days!), and the CBD Magma is 39 inches...
So I am now thinking that a lot of this extra stretch is probably due to stress brought on by so much pruning...SME, I know you are not a fan of defoliating...and this time around, I think my garden is showing signs of that stress you have warned about...
Next grow, just 4 plants, 2 strains....
