Things turned shitty really fast and I ended up chopping them down last night.
Here's the deal best I can explain it....
I have a 4x4 tent which the plants were in. That tent had a 4" fan on it to exhaust the heat.
I had an 8x3 closet that I was trying to get my 2x600w lights running in for my soil vs. hydro grow. The temps in that closet were reaching 97+ degrees and I couldn't think of a good way to resolve that problem so I purchased an 8x4 tent.
I setup the tent and got everything running and it was still about 95 degrees with the same fan running slightly more efficient due to the configuration in the tent vs. the closet. Still unacceptable.
The tent is going to need another fan to viable.
Now here is where the brain started racking. The hydro plants in the soil vs. hydro are sad and small so I don't actually want to burn my 600w lamp over them. I'm going to give them away to a friend to take care of them, reveg them and get them stronger and flower them.
I am going to keep the soil plants going in the 8x4 tent and the plan was to move THESE plants into the 8x4 with the soil plants and take the fan from this tent and put it on the 8x4 tent. Then my 8x4 tent would have to sets of flowering FI about 5-6 weeks apart.
Well, I opened up the 4x4 tent last night and I was looking through the plants....seeds. Not a LOT of seeds, but we were able to easily identify about 5 or 6 and I decided to harvest early. I chopped down the plants last night. I know they didn't get a full flush, but I've never really been a believer that it matters, so now we'll see. I'll give these a good dry and cure and I'll bet they are just fine.
I couldn't put these plants in my brand new tent with my next batch of FI if there's hermies in there.
What I have to say about FI so far....
Crazy colors in the buds, especially the lower buds. Didn't see the strange purple hues in the tent with the lights on. Pretty looking buds, but overall me and my trimmer/helper both agreed this plant grows A LOT of foliage. I was worried throughout the grow about leafdrop...fuck that, this plant is a goddamn salad. It really grows a lot of leafy matter and I can see why it becomes "fucking mediocre" in the eyes of some people. I can tell straight away it's not the dankiest bud, but really does look good. It will take a smoke report (which is weeks away) to really know, but I don't think I"ll ever grow this again (after the soil ones finish).
I'll be out in search of a different strain, overall I would avoid this one. I had more trouble with this strain than many others, there were 2 plants out of my six that were the actual purplish changing healthy pheno's that ARE worth keeping, the others were pretty regular. Just nothing memorable there, they are bud plants, just eh.
Thanks again for playing....here's some pictures.
Uhmmm...no guess on yield yet. I have no idea how dense or how fluffy these will be. The plants seriously grew about 80% leaf/bud ration. I've certainly had MUCH MUCH better pheno's.

And since you have more grows under your belt, I don't feel so noobish!
i got lost awhile back with the hydro thing. Always wanted to try it, but I love my soil! Nice table of buds there bro. Very nice
