Mine only vegged for a month. You can see the difference in flower size on yours at the same time.

I am not going for bulk now as much as variety. I'll easily pull a few ounces off each (4G/FloD) and that's fine.
After finding a few seeds on the RM, I'm waiting to make my final decision on what to breed until I see how the FloD turn out. So far they are very nice. Uniform flowers and fairly self-leveling. The 4-top is looking just like the RM did at that stage, but several nodes are 'triploid' or whatever. 3 nugs instead of 2. Kind of cool.

The Crown Jewel (burgundy pheno)
Day 99/65 - this should be a 70-day plant, it was almost there
This had the best foliage I've produced - I usually kill them before they can gat all "autumn" LOL
And since the bud leaves were so purple they were almost black , I tried the minimal trim.
I just removes all the fans with stems and called it a day.

Now I have room!
The Florida Diesel by @J.James are phenomenal! day 70/40
There is a distinct bulk difference between the 4-top and the 8-top, kind of confirming previous experiments that showed they should produce about the same final weight, just different size flowers.
Both are still healthy, eating well, and seem to like the XB light better than the other strains did.
My HLG room has my 4th Gear (same grow dates as the FloD). and my 12/12 from seed experiments. The Black widow in the front seems fine with it, the S.O.G in the party cup is awesome, but the Bruce Banner in the rear shows a definite failure to thrive. If it wasn't a free seed I'd bitch for a replacement. It either didn't like the XB200 light, the 12/12 from seed, or it was just a dud.
The 4th Gear is racing the FloD 4-top for bulk, even though it's an 8-top.
And you can see the comparison between the BW (front) and BB (rear)

My stuff is drying too quick. It looks great, smells great, but is down to 25% weight in 2-3 days. My rH has been in the 30's and 40's, which is great in flower - sucks for drying weed.
What has worked so far is to pull it as soon as it gets under 30% of the original weight (feels really dry) and get it under vacuum with the rH packs. After the first hour or so they soften up and don't feel crisp.
I air it out every few hours until it starts feeling dry again. I check the rH with an inkbird a few times a day at first, and it fluctuates between 65-70% between airing out and re-vacuuming.
The end result is that instead of being bone-dry in 4 days, it slows the process down to 10 days or so before I feel comfortable leaving it jarred for a day. The stuff also seems perfectly smokable in about 3 weeks rather than a month.

Florida Diesel (ECSD x Big Bud #4) Day 73/43
Loving the structure on these (@Schwaggy P LOL)
Several nodes on both plants are triploid (3 leaves, 3 nugs) I'll try to get a pic of that at some point.
It's an 8-top and a 4-top.
And is stacking nicely

Everything seems to be on cruise control now. I am just using the Fruit & Flower now, and basing the feeding on the run-off. I water a gallon of RO with cal-mag, amino's, silica and sweetener (microbe food) then check the ppm of the run-off. If it's low I add top-dressing and another half gallon or so, and if not just more water. All the plants have been on a different "schedule" but it hasn't been hard to manage doing it that way.

Seems like once things go into flower a few weeks things are just cruising. Almost a boring stage ha
