Lol, yes, was planning on keeping them short, standard ScroG. But I didn't want to start flowering until I got back from Bonnaroo, which resulted in them getting an extra six weeks of veg time. Then when I put them into 12/12, KABOOM, they tripled in size. It's like a compressed jungle in there now, freaks me out whenever I look. Fortunately, they seem to have stopped growing, and just in time, since the light's about as high as it can go. I did have to tie the two tallest stalks over as they did get too close to the light.

As for yield, I'm not really worried about it. I mean, I don't sell anything, so I'll be happy with whatever that jungle from hell produces.

The tube doesn't really get too hot to touch. It does get quite warm, but I can hold my hand on it no prob. And I have a 6" fan near the light blowing on both the tube and the plants near it, which seems to work good, as there are no signs of heat stress anywhere.

Not a whole lot I can do about light penetration. I mean, yeah, I could start hacking off fan leaves left and right, but that'd divert energy from bud and trichome production, so I don't really want to do that. So, it is what it is, and I'll get what I get.

Around 39 days more 'til harvest. I'm very interested in seeing what these bushes from hell produce!
