Nice dude. What strain is it?

Very nice. You should let them sit in the dark for 24 hours prior to harvest. Since there's not much amber you will have a nice energetic high

Happy to do that - can I ask why though?

Just heard that trichs production goes crazy and they bulk up a bit if you leave em in the dark for a day or so prior to harvest. Had 2 pro growers tell me it helps
Worth a try

Someone explains on another forum:
" The dark process for the last 24-72 hours allows for the breakdown and flushing of chlorophyll before harvest, making for a markedly smoother smoke and more floral flavors to be expressed. As for upping THC levels, I'd say that a superior smoking experience would give you the placebo effect of a higher THC content. That said, if someone could produce a multiple plant study where a gas chromatograph consistently measured higher levels in dark roomed plants, I'd would gratefully be wrong.
As an aside, I also use two days of dark in the middle of my flower cycle when I'm trying to identify new genetics. The dark consistently forces any hermies to show their ugly heads for slaughter and removal from my mom stock. Not for everyone, but if you breed your own seed it's essential to remove any intersex traits from the genetic pool. I also don't breed with males that throw girl parts at me. You can quote me on that. "

No where near the yield I was expecting 
Lots of fluffy buds and not much weight. Lots of causes - over watering - incorrect scrog (far too many stems - more sog) - didn't defoliate enough... Back to old school methods where I know what I'm doing..
Anyhow - what I did get is a blinding smoke - really up and funny high - no couch lock -
have tears running down my cheeks working my way through the box set of The Big Bang Theory.
Got 4 clones itchying to go into Veg - drying in my only tent currently, but that should be complete in 1 to 2 days.
