One shows the "high density" flowering, like cauliflower.

Here is week7
A pic of a "dense" white bud.
Buds are making stalks bend over from the weight.

Week8 FLUSH TIME!
Will be pulling it all up probably this weekend.
Like I said, I am not hanging my hat on this grow as to an opinion, but I must say that LEDs work.
Hopefully the next crop doesn't have the drama/trauma this one went through.

Yes, LED lights do work even for full cycle. The 5w diodes really help. LED is certainly not the most cost efficient but neither was HID 30 years ago. I'm looking forward to final results and smoke report. I'm sure you'll do better next time now that you're more familiar with LED...

I am looking forward to a quality test also.
What I am not looking forward to is removing the light and modifying the fixture as my space is cramped and hard to get in and out of.
I did buy some small dual pulleys to improve how the light is raised as it was a hassle to have to lift the light with one hand and pull on the rope with the other.
SIX SIGMA training put to good use.......

Looks like I may let harvest go for another week.
Flowers are still forming, buds are still swelling.
I cut a few that looked "ripe" but under a magnifier they looked like they could go for a few more days.
