Purple Kush light-dep skylight grow

My skylight opens up so I'm going to try and make it productive. I'm using a 3-gal Smart Pot with FoxFarm Ocean Forest. Out at 7AM, then down and into a closet at 7PM.

I searched the forums and never found examples of anyone growing out a skylight, so all ideas very welcome.

I specifically asked for a strain that was short and squat at the dispensary - they recommended PK. I'm guessing she might be ~ 3 feet at chopping time.

The plan is to bend her trunk so it extends out the skylight. I considered putting the Smart Pot directly on the roof, but the 3 gal size won't fit through the opening.

Day 9: So far, so good. I've got lots of pistil hairs, and I really like PK's short internodal length. My skylight is a great place to grow - direct sun all day, a reflective paint roof that won't heat up too much, few bugs, and a nice breeze.

If I do another grow, I'll put a couple of ebb and flow buckets up there. Now I'm watering the plants in the morning before I lift them up. It's a hassle, and one watering/day might not suffice when it's really hot in the summer.

The PK is really budding now, and the smell is fantastic. Hints of purple.

I got a new Grape Ape clone and have been vegging her for a week.

I'm going to start training the Grape Ape and start 12/12 this weekend, thanks for stopping in megayields

Funny thing happened yesterday. There were 4 people (HOA reps, engineers) on the roof doing an inspection. I could hear them walk over to my skylight. So I climbed the ladder and poked my head through the skylight just as they were looking at my girls.

me: "Are you guys going to be up here for a while?"

one of them: "No, we're leaving. Sorry to disturb you."

me: "Not a problem."

The PK got a nasty bud rot, and I lost about 75% of the bud. The part I salvaged had a great heavy Indica stone though.

I switched the Grape Ape to 12/12 on June 1, after three weeks of veg. Expecting a better outcome:
