I don't know if its me bulbs or these cool tubes but they just ain't drying solid pissin me off a bit now a bit lol they grow hard buy once dry they fluff up I've fuckin had enough lool
its something mate, you see my last batch of exo that was just 8wks no more, solid nugs dry! lolol

dont think it would be the cool tubes, yeah they dont spread the light that great but confined in a small tent where its to fucking spread?!?

i personally find that the ripen helps alot with making ya exo buds nice n solid at 8wks.

do you use that ripen 15 days b4 chop ive read about it was thinking of trying it
its each to there own pomp, some like the nute some dont, ive used it for a good few years tho and yes the best results from ripen are when you use it for the last 2 wks but no other nutes at all, just ripen i have only ever grown with soil or coco tho not hydro.

Dropping the lights on period will increase maturity and plants will finish quicker... its best for sativa leaning plants though and can cause hermies in indica plants ... the idea is it being more climatized to sativa areas... indicas think its turning to winter and sometimes throw out nannas to help keep the strain alive ...

Deffo worth it though. From everything ive researched on it most comes to the same conclusion ... you lose about 3% yield and save about 6% on electric ... plants normally finish 4-6 days earlier but keep eyes open for hermies ....

10/14 is a great way to sex seeds ... most show sex in 14 days from seed on that light scedule... then pull males and switch back to 18/6
