Yea I do I’ve started jarring it up now see how the humidity holds up I’m hoping I’ve hit the sweet spot of 55-60 I will know once it’s been sitting for an hr or 2You are very kind and yes, early. LOL
And I won't mention 'that word' again.
And BTW, you have yourself a paper bag full of joy, don't you?
I hang them upside down in a restraining cone for a minute or two it calms them, then slit their throats. It's the "Cone of no tomorrow".
Fascinating. At what point do you think this transition happens?
when it’s underfed
Do your plants ever cannibalize the fan leaves? Or are you feeding them right up til harvest to prevent that?
Underfed for whatever reason. Could be watering practices could be mix could be timing.
Maybe his benefits are from the temp drop that comes with lowering the intensity. I honestly haven't done enough homework to speak confidently about it.
I haven't tried doing dark for days to be completely honest, I reduce the plants ppfd at the tops slowly in the last ten days in 5% increments of light intensity while I am watering to 15% - 20% run off with ph balanced ro water for a timed flush lowering my ec and ppms down and letting the plant eat up the last of my nitrogen stored in the leaves. I will only feed @400-600 ppms of just pk boosters during the first three days of flush. I keep seeing all these grows where people are just letting the plant sit for three days in the dark. I almost forgot to say I don't water the last 4 days before harvested. So in total my last two weeks is for getting ready for harvest. I will harvest halfway through lights on. I have always had amazing terpene and trichomes. I just took down the sherbet cream pie x blue nerds plant and it's hanging in in my utility room because my drybox is stuffed to the brim already. I'm sure @JIMKSI64 grows would match up closer to what you are doing. I haven't done a live soil grow indoors since about 2014 lol or used soil as my medium for indoors since. The video was cool to see. For curing that's a whole nother post I'm too lazy to do rn
Bugbee does seems to think temperature is important. And that makes sense, 'cause terpines are very volatile.
He also suggests that continuing photosynthesis to harvest will impact yield positively. No light, no photosynthesis. But it would be a cool experiment if you can control the variables and test the end result with vs without complete darkness. Interestingly there was research looking at going with 13 hours light instead of 12 at the flip. Guess what that result showed in that case. Just an added hour of photosynthesis every day through the flowering period increased cannabinoids and yield. And did not affect the flip. So much to learn...like autos continuing to grow for a second harvest. Shall I try for a third....maybe

I use different temperatures through out the grow. Keeping my day and night within a 15°f of difference. Towards the end, with the light intensity decreased will lower temps and it helps more of your colors become prominent as well as I have personally seen higher trichome production through the temperature decrease during the last two weeks as well as a beautiful fade. That's just my experiences though.
some university did start of flower 14h end of flower 8h but overall same amount of hours as when you would do 12 whole grow.and they had same dry weight but huge difference in terpinesHe also suggests that continuing photosynthesis to harvest will impact yield positively.

I'd be interested in reading that study.
Yes and as they state and we can see in the graph, it was different in varying cultivars. There is another that did the same but looked at trichome density, deformation, detachment. Between fiber, seeds, oil, and medicine this is a very remarkable plant and a staple of human kind. It's a very interesting plant.
"...in Cannatonic, all treatments starting with 14L:10D led to a significant increase in the CBD concentration, which led to a 50–100% increase in total CBD yield."
Ummm wait.
Is that published? What was the optimal DLI for those strains?
Then try your own experiment under what you consider to be optimal lighting for these strains. See if you get an improvement or not.
