yes it took a long while. but i only grow Photo period 1 time a year in summer. The rest of the year when i grow i use autoflowers. and they are done in 13/14 weeks. To get The plants ripen enough it seems to take a little longer then with HID lights .

could be that torturing your bud other than increase your results increase the time the plant take to finish?
you can grow sog and have almost 2 cycle in the same time you do one(keep'em small faster finish, always strain dependant!) , only hassle you need a place for veg+mom.
I've got the idea that QB lack a little bit of penetration from a distance of 40/65 cm you only really reach 40 cm below canopy at max,
lower bud do grow but lighter in color and less dense so a good lollipopping and sog are best pratices to use QB at their best in my opinion!
I'm amazed how those plants @bluesbreeder responded to your love!

Well i topped the plants to get a more even canopy. But my plants seems to take a little longer with QB’s . Well in my opinion they don’t take longer with the budswelling. Because i have grown with and without at the same time to see what happend to see the difference with or without. They are finished at same time. But sativa dominant plants get fatter buds with this technique.
I try to get the QB about 45 cm above the buds.

hey Well to me it's great quality and the buds look good and i smoked coffee shop weed for years so i'm extremely happy i can grow this at home.
And it gets me high
well yeah it took 15 weeks to have all the trichomes all milkey and ready to harvest.but i will see with my next grows. my previous grow with C. banana and royal gorilla was 6 weeks veg and 12 weeks Flower sp 18 weeks in total.
This took a long time to finish

My first question would be how do you plan to grow? What's your setup... SOG? SCROG? In a tent? What size?

If electricity is really a driving concern... Look at a light with a large footprint. Preferably something with a dimmer. This allows you to run at lower watts and just run the light closer while not burning your plant by eliminating the"hot spot". Growers choice ROI-E680 seems like a good choice. I chose that light and this was a big part of my decision. Raging Kush would also be an option... I am sure there are othersI do not work for any grow company, I am new to growing and I am new to forums in general so I didn't know where to post. I'm kinda a newbie sorry if I over posted.. Im building a 8 light set up right now and I really don't have past experience with LED's so was not sure what to look for. I just know that I will not be able to afford HPS on my electric bill

For a weed forum, there is a lot of negativity on here. We grow to learn and learn to grow. It's supposed to be a privilege to help others out, and even when we disagree, should never shut them down.
Oh yeah, and for the record, I personally prefer CMH. Not that they are better or worse, just what I prefer to use.
