The first and most noticeable thing about the KKSC under the LEP is that I'm experiencing no yellowing of the leaves aside from a few towards the bottom that aren't being hit with much light. The buds also appear to be much larger but that could be due to the extra veg time they got.

Looking impressive skunkburner. So just to clarify, Gavita brand lights are LEP meaning plasma lights and not HID lights correct? Also what's the accepted method of avoiding toasting colas that are basically tall enough to be inches away from the light/heat source? Just use string and tie them away from the light? I assume they're too sturdy to do much more to them at that stage. Forgive me if I'm rambling, first time making brownies and made them too potent lol.
Looking forward to seeing the rest of the grow. Cheers

Yeah, these are the Gavita LEP lamps not their HID ones. I would've loved to have gone with the Gavita HID ballasts too, but I don't have 240V lines. I try have at least 12" of space between the lights and plants, then stake things into place if they're getting toasty at the tips. If that happens, as it did for two of the ISS tops, I just sacrifice the bleached/toasted part when it comes time to trim the colas up. You can always just toss that stuff into making BHO or bubble hash.

An update at 43 days into flowering.

A single KKSC cola, they're all packing on enormous amounts of weight, and still no yellowing of leaves:

A few ISS cola's, aside from packing on the weight they're smelling like delicious lemon goodness:
Another ISS cola:
One more ISS cola, you can see right at the top the leaves are a bit heat stressed. This particular cola is around 6'8" at it's top, which is far too tall for my room:
This particular ISS cola is sitting right under the LEP lamp, the picture doesn't do justice to the massive amount of trichomes that are there:

Got the digital microscope I ordered in the mail today, started messing around. This is a shot of a Skunk #1 leaf edge where the trichromes are starting to become cloudy and amber, but I'm also noticing some purple in the stalks.

Some more pictures with the microscope
KKSC at 50 days, the trichomes are going milky and amber all over the place:
ISS at 50 days, still mostly clear trichomes:

Amazing shots skunk, glad to see the girls coming along nicely. How long until you chop the KKSC? Seems almost ready unless you were looking for more amber trichome development.

An update at 63 days, going to be taking things down at 65 days.
A massive KKSC cola, the leaves are all dying off so it looks sort of sad, but there's a massive amount of trichomes all over it:
The Island Sweet Skunk, just massive buds all around, heavy coating of trichomes too:
The LEP lamp has kept this cola's leaves mostly green while everything outside the lamps range is turning completely yellow:
My first time running Super Lemon Haze, I got the cut from a friend and gave it a try. It has a nice lemon smell, but it's thrown bananas so I'm taking it down at 65 days instead of 70, and doesn't produce shit in terms of weight. Overall, I wouldn't recommend the strain:
