Rewind a month back in veg, 2 different phenos were selected from a 5 pack of fem
Beans. I kept the 2 most different phenos, one a bit more strechy and a compact pheno

And now,
Currently they've been trained for 8mains on this pheno, 4 mains on the compact pheno

Nice job bro. I'm running 6% atm and seeing as lifespan is shortish on these i have been thinking of delegating the 6 %ers to the earlier stages of veg/ flower and then changing bulbs to yours for late flower.

Subbed for growing tips also!
