This is just my opinion but buds are better quicker if the plant has had water for the last few days or so, this is only for hydro tho never grown in soil. Yeah all the curing will improve taste and all but smoke a hydro bud after 7 days that hasnt been flushed to one that has had 5 days just water and there is a difference IMO lol. Its up too you man, if you got a few comming down do a few with just plain water and a few with nutes and see what you like best.

I was on about the best digi ballasts for digi bulbs mate. If your running normal hps/mh bulbs then you'll be sweet with the lumateks, they seem pretty good and ive got 4 dimmable ones.

When it come to flushing growers have to make their own minds up on that one, makes no odds to me what people do, ive done it both ways so know what works for me. For everyone that dont flush theres one that does lol, never gonna get a answer to that old question so each to their own on that one.

@ic3 i wouldnt want to put a dimmer on myself mate, if im spending the cash on the ballast i might aswell pay a bit more and get a propper dimable one lol
lol was only fucking wiyya i wouldnt even attempt it,,, do u need dimmable bulbs for dimmable ballasts?

Yeah they will shrink as water is lost through the drying process, should still be pretty dense when dried they aint airy fluffy buds by any means or shouldnt be. Just dont rush the drying mate, 36hrs is nowt, i dont do anything till atleast day 6 or so. The top nugs are normally more dense but i found the ripen def helped out the lower shit as well.

No. Just a regular bulb that's big enough that it won't blow if you turn the ballast up to full....

Yeah no worries, dont run 1000s myself but lumateks are pretty good and well made. I found dimmables good in cabs but for my tent grows im just using non dimmable digis.

I'm a crispy on the outside but slightly sticky in the middle man myself. 2 weeks dry, 2-4 weeks cure is about right.
