Your not going to top these....
Nope, ive been holding off on transplanting until i can sex them but they are being stubborn.
After i get them down in the bag I'll use lst and a net to flatten them out.
Ive only gave them a quarter dose of Si so far, just enough to keep them upright.
They are starting to stack tighter now that they have the light saturation.

I am also growing the authentic genetics skunk #1 (two weeks behind you) they are under and hlg 135 about 2 feet and I think I need to turn it down as they are getting too many ppfd of light. That got me into understanding how much light a plant gets a day through out an outdoor grow and how to at least try and give it the same or more indoors eg. at least 1000 ppfd is the sweet spot though sun is 2000 here in california during the day, but as winter comes the ppfd drops and that I believe is what triggers flowering as well as less light hours. anyways i then found this and it mentions high light eq. more roots and less chrorophyll and more starch and sugars. dont mean to hijack the thread but very interesting as to how these plants turn out. also have blue dream x haze and haze. So plan on also making a bunch of seeds. Daily light integral - Wikipedia - also I think I need to turn my led down as the ppfd directly under it is around 700 ppfd and the new grow tips seem mutated a bit

Good luck with your run @meangreen .
Im running 6 qb288's, they are running about 90% power at about 15" from canopy.
LED's do burn differant than HID's, I've noticed that the fans cannot take it as much as other leaves on the plants.
But, the branching that explodes makes up for the fan lose.
I've grown Skunk #1's from multiple breeders over the years and they all are robust and very big yeilders!
In my state when medical passed, for the first 6 months many growers started from this family of Skunk in order to produce enough product fast enough to get going.

I am definitely excited about these and look forward to your reports every day :) I am going to run a 630w cmh that was given to me for now and in summer switch to an led in my 4x4 tent. The thing I am trying to figure out is how I can get the ppfd spread evenly so the edges have enough and the center doesnt have too much or move the plants around and rotate so the edge plants move to the center occasionaly. led bars may be easier to manage this. Ideally you could run outer edge leds full blast and center edge leds at 50%. Seems like you have it covered. here is an article on vpd and it has a calculator to tell you what RH to run at what temp. I figure in veg and before buds start getting too big vpd would be good but as buds get bigger I am nervous about bud rot. Where did you get the qb288s? I was looking at kingbrite but the hlg stuff seems like it has come down in price
