Awesome thanks hyroot, so do you just add the t5's to your light set up but run them for only 5 hours per day during the12/12 flowering?

I'm using reptiglo 10.0 but run it full 12h cycle, because of the CFL setup, reptiglo is placed higher than any other light.

safeside, somedays I unplug the reptiglo for several hours or full cycle.

So is it safe to run it for a full 12 hours? Also is it algood being higher up and still do the same as if it was lower? :)

Cheers

The only thing I remember advocating a longer cure, was the Cannabible II. They claimed a 4+ month cure developed more and varied terpenes, giving it better smell & taste, like aging a fine wine...I swore it was a typo (4 MONTHS!?) until I saw it was consistent through 4 or 5 times mentioned in this, predominantly, picture book! They must be some incredibly Patient dopers!

thats one way to raise the CBD %
or you could just go for more amber
read a link the other day
from i hate to say it because i really dont like the guy hogbud ( scared if i say his name he will show up he's like herpes just keeps coming back )
that had to do with running your plants longer in flower like way longer and at a decrease in THC
you gain the benefits of the other actives
it was saying that buds cut early actually deprive you of REM sleep
and do less to benefit medically in the end when used daily
giving the same symptoms from long term meth / speed use
i dunno just a article from a guy i dont even care for but
it sounded about right

amber does not mean more cbd. The amount of cbd depends solely on genetics. trichs and calyx and hairs receding has to do with ripeness of when the plant is ready to chop.
there's a window of peak ripeness. Too early and too late there will be a decrease in THC , cbd, thca, cbn, and terpenes. There is no increase by doing either. Only small amounts of uvb , uva , and a nice spike of 440-450 blue region will increase trichome production, THC, etc... Then of course you have emmerson effect which synergizes chlorophyll b utilizing 650-700nm region.
