Finally! I harvested the second batch, it took this batch 98 days of 12/12.
Do I have some lessons learned. Although this is what I would call my first successfull harvest, I made some critical errors which I believe led to the time it took to flower completely.
1st - I found a Hermie in batch 1, pollenated herself (full of seeds) and partially pollenated the plant next to her. That being said I was lucky, the second batch harvested today was not affected far as I can tell.
2nd - I started this grow with 11 plants and let them do what they want during Veg, I should of Scrog'd early (I plan to do with next grow) Because of this I was unable to identify any males/hermies, Scrog'd may have prevented this.
3rd - Although I planned well for this grow with a grow tent, tons of ventilation, and perfect conditions overall, I still provided to much nutrients early in the grow, and my HPS grow light was on 100% all the time during 12/12, I should of reduced power to mimic less UV to 75%.
4th - Already planned next grow buy list to be even better next time.
