That whole table is under a mw 120h24 powered 16x 2ft EB strips. Upon return from the flower tent, it became apparent that they achieved a bit of a tan, if you will. The uvb strikes again! Very striking in person. Aren't these things amazing? What an incredible plant. I mean preaching to the choir here, we're all in love with the infinite variations within cannabis. But every morning DAYUMM!!
@Or_Gro can we get some more close ups of yours as it goes? looking amazing and even though I'm not familiar with most of what you are running it'd still be cool to see the development up close. Those trunks are ridiculous.

Took a taster bud from the Dancehall/Cherrygasm. Euphoric, relaxed, chronic pain absent, checking the boxes of what I've hoped for aside from taste. But this isn't cured, so it may get better. Hint of cherry has me hoping that when it's properly ready for consumption it'll be better. We'll see, uncharted territory.
Overall, I feel pretty good right now so I'm pleased with it.

Took the last lady down and used the opportunity to install an exhaust fan.
Transplanted the Dark Helmets and the lone Gorilla Cookies (top left) DH top right was a bit of a mess and got dropped
Added some more EWC/dirt mix. Kinda buried some of the companion plants but that's fine.
I'd hoped to have all 4 of the new lights complete but some parts will be a next month thing. Aside from that this is now what I had envisioned when putting this together. Switched the tent to veg for now. If any of the remaining DH "girls" show male, I have a couple GG4's in the wings.
love your plants

Sorry for the late reply, guys. A lot of work and almost no time chatting... and all this with my ailing bones ..
I stumbled upon the cut and halve leaves technique as I tried to get more light into the lower areas.
I cut back the upper 2-4 pairs of leaves by ⅔ and noticed that all other shoots started to grow faster. Previously, I had often tied the upper leaves to a tulip with pipe cleaner so that the light could penetrate deeper into the canopy but this has much less influence on the growth of the side shoots. I believe that there are still many hormones in the tips of the upper leaves and that removing the tips has a similar effect as fim'ing but without damaging the meristem. When you fim' the tip but you cut a bit to far above the meristem you get the same effect as when you hit the meristem perfectly unless you still get only one main stem. But both plants would slow down in growth and are more focussed on branching for a while. I wont believe all the hormones evaporate just because the leaves gets bigger. They are only less concentrated and disappear as they get bigger and older. But in the very young leaves at the top are for sure enough hormones otherwise we would see not this behavior.
And if its still of interest, yes UVA will destroy insects dna and they can see and avoid UVA. A spider mite would hastily leave your garden or hide somewhere .. Nemadotes are for example dead within a few minutes "UVA radiotherapy", the harder the chitin armor the longer they can withstand UVA but they all don't like it and will leave your garden.
@Or_Gro
Halfing the leaves on cuttings slows down transpiration and helps to stop growing. In fact, rooting takes a little longer because they grow a bit further if you leave all the leaves on. You get yellow leaves cuz they have no roots and take nutrients out of the leaves just like when they get too much light. You can see new bright green growth within a week in this case.
If you have only a few leaves and halve a few of them additionally there are not enough nutrients left for new growth. But it's just enough to increase the "rooting pressure" to stay alive.(hope that makes sense).
