Mrs had a rough patch but things are on the mend now mate, thank you
the HPS is great, as you said it would be! the 4AM flowered beneath it and the nuggets were dense as diamonds, and the Skywalker mutant had a full life beneath it and gave me the tastiest stuff i have grown yet, BUT the seeding issue wasn't resolved, so i finished off the Skywalker on her own and have opted to grow by cycle, opposed to perpetual, to give me the opportunity to clear out my grow space and give everything a good wash down.
after growing out various OG variants i have come to the conclusion you have already reached - Ripley's OG, Samsquanch OG and Skywalker, all nice enough, but lacking that deep, rich earth and spicy kush profile i'm after. so i'm looking elsewhere to fulfil this, and am two weeks in to my first photoperiod grow of Holy Grail Kush by DNA Genetics and it being my most memorable toke in recent years, safe to say i'm excited! i may start a journal but i'll send a couple of pics
