Very nice shovelhandle, those are some BIG buds! You are running 10.5 in flower? There was some mention of that from Weezard awhile back, Indica strains and equatorial balance with light and time. I may have to try that, looks like it's working for you! :thumbsup:
I found with my stumpy Indica strain that going to 12/12 right from works just fine....and like you said, cuts about 2 weeks to a month off the turn.
You and Mama having timer trouble reminds me to keep a close watch on mine.
