So I'm nearing the end of my grow. My trichomes are clear to full white but no amber. My temps range from 65 to 70 at night and maybe a few degrees warmer during daytime
My light puts out no heat at all so it doesn't help. I have a small radiant heater which helps to keep it from 72 to 80 degrees. The only problem is it drys out 1 side of the pot. Do temps affect ripening. Isn't it the light that makes amber trichomes?
 
I understand heating the lung room. Unfortunately the room is wide open on one side. Heat would have a hard time building up it seems.
 
Ripening is 99% genetic. If there was a way to reliably speed it up no one would wait 90 days for some sativa strains.

Some people are going to suggest cutting back watering or leaving the plant in the dark for a day or two before you chop. All that's fine but you are only gaining a day or two. If your plant usually takes 10 weeks to finish, no environmental changes will reduce it to 8.

Patience is the name of the game until you're done curing.
