200w+ CFL scrog in the attic

There are a couple different factors affecting that. First, there's the problem I mentioned a couple months back, linked to my light cycle and air conditioner. Since the grow box was in the attic AND tapped directly to the house's central a/c, it got coldest when the thermostat was forcing the a/c to work hardest, i.e., daytime, which happened to coincide with my "lights out" period. The attic and grow box got hottest at night, when the a/c wasn't working so hard and the lights were on. This was aggravated by really hot temperatures, when the a/c ran nonstop all day and the overnight lows were still pretty high. The other major factor was that I stopped taking daily readings for the latter part of the chart, so those high/low data points aren't for a single day, but rather for the entire period between taking readings. You can tell based on how far apart the dots are how many days there were between readings. So, a high and low reading that were taken on the same day doesn't mean they happened on the same day, it just means that during that period between readings I had both the highest and lowest temperature.
In other news, I decided to take some pictures of Snap, the clone I described above. As I said, this plant was grown under a single 26w bulb for most of its life, and then a single 42w bulb for just the last two weeks. Here are three pictures zoomed in to different degrees:
I'm debating between harvesting pre-move and moving the plant and harvesting later. Either way should be feasible, since she's such a small plant.

Yeah, I think I'm going to have to agree. By the way, just to give an idea of the stage of flowering at the time of the accidental cutting, this is what it looked like the day after I rooted it:
That was on May 22nd, which was the 23rd day of 12/12 for the ScrOG "mother." So, if you count the 12/12 time for pre-cutting, rooting, and then post-rooting, today would be the 91st day of 12/12. If you're only counting the post-cutting period, it would be the 68th day today.
I'll probably not be posting much over the next few weeks, as I'll be packing, moving, then unpacking. But I'll report back once I have my grow area set up at the new house, hopefully by mid- or late-August. I'll probably start a new thread, but I'll post a link to it at the end of this one.
