You are a lot better off using 24 hours of darkness, using 55-60 degree temps, and turning on a black light for ten to fifteen minutes every four hours or so. You are right about nute uptake during Lights on! And how much nutes are really available after a two week flush? The UV from the black lights will make the plant do the same thing, but by converting stored sugars to do it, instead of taking up nutes fresh. Doing this will also help ensure that you don't lose a bunch of THC and CBD's during the first couple days of drying. Make sure you water the day before you turn the light off, so it isn't too humid, and doesn't get moldy. My cousin turned his lights off right after her waterred, and came back two days later to a room full of bud rot. He got a total of 2 ounces of good smokable bud off of 20 plants,. His power went out too though, so his fans were off.
This is correct...... I thought I was on a different sight... someone had asked about what kind of light would be ambiant to use to see in the dark during flowering..... sorry guys, I originally accidentally posted in that thread that he should use black lights, so I went back to try to post telling him to use green or purple lights, and ended up posting on your thread.... OK... I am limitting myself to 4 tabs at once Max from now on! sorry, yes it is black light.... BLACK LIGHT FOR RESIN, GREEN LIGHT FOR SIGHT!
