It does work..
But its very strain dependant.
I had various results.
Some of the strains I ran were: Pineapple chunk
Skywalker Kush
Sour Diesel
Kosher kush
So they grew out amazingly in the veg stage, and so have every other strain ive put into the veg room on 12-1
BUT when you flower out and you go to quickly into the 6/18 schedule, what you get is super trich production but not as much yield.
Remember this is going to stress your plant to unnatural lighting, so it will react by either 1- Protecting herself and push out as much resin as she can if all nutrients are provided.
OR
2- she will hermie on you. (Which did happen to one or two plants in the late stage of flower)
Now I think from what ive seen from Joe and Dan B is that this schedule will work great for sativa dom. strains (especially with those long flowering times.)
The revised version on the other hand works much better, because its much better matched to nature. going slowly down to 9-15...

Get some GOOD oil into them...
I'll add some great documents you can let them read on the benefits of using oil, to treat something or just for boosting health..
I use it regularly just as a supplement.
In all honesty mate, save up and buy an electronic pH meter.
You will never get an accurate reading with that, and with Hydro your best friend is keeping your pH in check..
I've seen some of the best bud from guys who are anal about the pH..
Only if you are careless and maybe drop the tube, or hit it against another metal part.
But you should think you are working in a Lab full of volatile chemicals and methodology should be precise.
If you wanna try a safe tube blah blah. Go buy a small Turkey baster from crazy store. Make sure to do it outside and have good air flow.. And remember kids
SAFETY FIRST.
Im on reaf's tip.. Stainless steel for the win.... Peasants use glass..

Update:
Week 3+-
650mm tall.
She is doing good, healthy color, nice growth. Bit stretched but expected for GCS.
They don't have a bushy build, so it looks like they struggling, but the bus that should come, will be fat and snowy..
I've never been able to make rosin for some reason or I just didn't care enough for it. Id do the whole squish process but i'm not sure what I wasn't doing right.
So my question is... Do you guys who smoke rosin notice the high lipid content? and if so are you winterizing/dewaxing?
I'm under the impression that to rosin a few grams of good quality dry sift would be a better option as you wouldn't be pulling all the plant waxes with?
But I guess i will only know when I try it.
