Wow, they look good tam, real bushy. That one you describe could just be a mutant, stick with it because they can be a bit special and like they grow odd leaf growth patterns they can and do often produce extra bud sights
Temps should stabilise soon for you mate, after all it IS March !!!
Hows those puppies doing ?
*edit* Notice you're going for a perpetual harvest thing, don't know if you have ever read
DrBudGreengenes thread on perpetual harvest growing? It was mentioned on my thread and I read it about 3 years ago, its well worth a read if you're looking at something like that but using seeds (he uses clones but bangs them into flower soon as they root!), I reckon you could do a 12/12 from seed, rolling harvest job under your HPS and do pretty well. About 3/4 years ago I did a thread over on HG420 (now sadly gone) where I ran a perpetual harvest 12/12 from seed experiment using Skunk Special and Tutti Frutti seeds feminised, it went pretty well and although yields were small (10g to 21g average) I found I was harvesting in 11 weeks from start to finish
what's more you can add in new strains at any time, say every couple of weeks etc and build up to a perpetual harvest of different strains, really good. I used 2 litre water bottles covered in brown tape for pots.
Wish I could point you to the thread still, but as I can't here's what I learned from the experiment (it ran for almost a year!).
1. 12/12 from seed produces yields not far off a couple of weeks standard veg period, 14g to 21g was
average dry yield. One guy here at rollitup hits the magic 1oz dry mark from his 12/12 grows ....I'll find the link for you.
2. The first 3 weeks of a 12/12 grow can be pretty much treated as normal veg period, you can still LST them down if you wish or even top them.
3. Average to show sex is 18 to 21 days from germination, THEN they go into flowering mode.
4. Plants stay short, 18" average.
5. Why bother? ...... lots of strains, you can mix sativas with Indicas, you harvest regularly, watering is simple to judge as the small pots dry out in 48 hrs! AND you only need ONE cabinet to do this in, no veg box required.
Just some info mate, I know you are still doing a lot of planning in your head around the best way to go
I'm thinking about going back over to this method myself after the mazar, I need some variety in my strains again.

Just a different approach tam.
