Congrats, 8.5 weeks nice, good to know i thought this strain was a min of 10 weeks and part if the reason i didnt grow it, i say that while growing SSH from Nirvana and i would be surprised if it was anything before 12 weeks.
I think the new light, coco loco and fine tuning the nutrient mix may have shortened this flowering time on this one. I added one of those CO2 bags to the tent too, not sure what it did but I will rinse, lather and repeat.
