Dear Wim,
The largest VFT I have seen was an all-red clone. With VFT the
conditions play a very large role in what the plants will look like.
This is true of most CP's, BTW. I have noticed that redder plants
do better than their greener sisters (most plants are at least female)
of the same type in areas that receive very bright light. While it's
the greener plants which do better in dimmer conditions.
