I know i have been absent lately as i have lots of changes going on but its sure nice to see such a great community of others helping others and i share that sentiment also.I am pumped at chance of hooking up with all you guys who give me advise, as it enables me to grow better. I was smart to take Agriculture & Horticulture which helped me understand aquaponics per @Aqua Man , you came into the picture and Max,Chem & Sporty throwing answers and sometimes having the same woes,Lol. Much Respect & big ups to the whole crew.SS
@jadins_journey a few things to consider on the finishing time.
high N can extend flowering time.
switching to MH for the last 2 weeks IMO would be a better spectrum to finish with after bulking. Even 600w should be good as the plants need for photosynthesis is reduced at that stage. this spectral change will reduce IR warming of the plants which reduce plant temps but combined with the lower wattage will reduce air temps as well.
Dropping temps in the last couple weeks will promote anthocyanin production making colors pop and reduce the loss of terps and flavonoids due to heat. It will also help speed up ripening a bit.
