Update "Tub O Clones" This is now 9 full weeks of flowering. Considering we are using cheap DIY wally world store bought (party bulbs). These are the best 9 week flowers my uncle and I have ever gotten using only 10 hours of HPS with this BB strain. Someday when my uncle and I can get a good PAD lighting setup we can look back at this and say it was a good learning experience for us. I'm thinking if we can get relatively ok results with the DIY (party bulbs) then a pro PAD lighting setup could produce outstanding results IMO.

The first three weeks 24 hour flowering light schedule was

10 hours HPS
then
5 hours PAD lights
then
9 hours of SID (standard indoor darkness)

The last six weeks 24 hour flowering light schedule was

10 hours HPS
then
3 hours of PAD lights
then
11 hours of SID (standard indoor darkness)

IMO we did this flowering light schedule kind of backwards. My uncle and I should of started out with the 10/3/11 light schedule and then after day 21 or so we should then add a couple of extra hours to our red PAD lights (on time) for say 10 to 14 days for some good trichome production and then start to figure out a PAD ripening schedule. That's the plan next time.

As far as these flowers go. My uncle likes his flowers just how they are now. Not to couch lock but a real nice body buzz. He is going to cut most of TOC #1 down this week. I'm having him keep a couple of the flowers going until next weekend just to see how good 10 weeks will be with this light schedule. All in all this was a great grow IMO. Thanks Sal :thumbsup:
