i think i get a little pissy with some of you on here as you make growing weed look easy but to me its not easy at all, ive got a EC pen and ive still over fed my plants...i was so upset over this and had to empty over half the tanks of canna nute's as my EC pen needed calibrating............ggrrr

A few words of advise !! Scrap the nft and go get sum cocco why because its easier than soil more forgiving the dwc nft ect ect do it and your half way there to growin some nice simple plants and yes i do mean simple its the best medium out there imo and it amazes me why u tried those nft trays anyway lollipoppin fimmin toppin lst supercroppin sog scrog and the rest of the techniques will become second nature once you know how to grow these simple plants properly with no hick ups along the way

Yeah bro fingerz pheno i heard a few say u can chop at 8-9 wks which tbh bro did nt look good or done enough for me so it did the 10 wks and it paif off in the end few hiccups near the end as i was in 2 minds about wen to chop but nothin dramatic enough for it to damage yeild by the looks of things!!

fingerz always said 10wks and ive grown it a few times and would agree, but its also not too shabby even when pulled early............ especially with a good dose of ripen.

Yeah mate 10wks min for me it starts to tinge pistals early but its a con and needs the extra few weeks to harden off imo the smoke might be sweet wen pulled early but your just killin the yeild which is wot i aim for!! Now i know dst pulls his exo at 9-10 weeks but in all honesty i cannot see why as ive rarely done after 9 !! After 8 wks the shit is good to go. and wont get u much more if any unlike the slh ;-)

some like it some dont mrt, ive been using it for ages found it helps improve flavour n makes it look more finished quicker and is also cheap.

i used it with the bubblegum cos my mate was supposed to be selling me those plant that would be ready to put on 12/12 but he cancelled on me. it was ok but the bubblegum wasnt the best smoke ive had. i didnt cure or fuck all, i just smoked it

difference between selling it and keeping it chedz probably. The extra week is only going to give it a more rounded effect. If it was all going out the door it wouldn't be much past 8 weeks for me either, I totally agree as you can take it then for sure.
It's like having rocks in yer Malt, some do, some don't.

it changes that serious bubblegum ALOT with a good cure from what ive seen grown n smoked neway, had some that had been cured for 8wks i fink it was that was a really good smoke actually tasted of hints of bubblegum and really strong indica heavy stone, stunk the room out too very smelly.

had it plenty of times with no cure of very little cure and it was very average flavourwise, although still a strong smoke.

the person who was growin it and curing etc grew out a 10/11 pack of regs and then flowered the fems taking clones from each and then selecting the best blah blah ill give him that he did get a nice pheno, but still needed that cure.

Funny, saying that I just finished a jar of Exo that I chopped at 8 weeks due to me changing from perpetual), t'was good but I think I prefer the extra, oomph that 9-10 weeks gives you.

This is like my Fingerz SLH pic, posted it mare times than hot dinners, lmfao. ".....out to Fingerz!"
10 week Exo.
