First high CBD grow.

Well...
I am hitting them pretty hard with the light, and it is mostly the new growth curling.
The light is turned up to full, 320 watts. It prolly should be running at 75% right now, not 100.
It may be worth turning it down and see if that is the reason.
I've seen this creep up a time or two but never worked out what the cause was. Watching.

hey man nice grow, just wondering, is it true that CBD strains must be harvested earlier or the CBD goes down and favors THC?

im also doing my first CBD grow, and people keep telling me that

Haven't heard that. Did you hear how much earlier? A week or more?
I was told however...The CBD effect only works if it is eaten, not smoked.
That....is a disappointment if true.

Did some research and found that CBD production starts earlier than THC production... So the logic behind what i heard before was that if you stop the strain around week 6 you'd get a higher CBD:THC ratio simply because CBD starts first, and THC kicks in later...

Honestly, it makes no sense to me. I want my strains to have as many cannabinoids (and yield) as possible, so i'll harvest when they're ready, lol

sry didn't mean to confuse you or anything

Started the 12/12 today.
Will start to turn up the light wattage also. It is running around 3/4 full, will want it at full during the flower.

I'd say! If they more than double you are going to have your hands full. Looking nice.
I drew a line in the tent at half way(minus the fan/filter, bubble buckets, and light). We are about 4-5 inches under the half line right now, so they can about double their size. Hopefully that will do it.
I do have a habit...of letting them get too tall for the space and end up tying them down.
