Which weeks of flower to add more light intensity?

[Tkboy]

I have searched but I couldn’t find much on this subject.. I have some power restrictions unfortunately so my question is fairly simple..

Assuming an 8 week strain, during which weeks of flower would you add more light to increase yield? I have read somewhere that towards the end of flower somewhat less intensity is preferable, I’m not sure if this is the case though?

I’m starting week 3 of my current grow.. I’m just looking for the best 2/3 week window in which to add more light in order to bulk the buds up a bit.. any advice would be greatly appreciated

I would stick with 12/12
They key is learning the strain and oerfecting its enviornent and feeding needs

Ok thanks I’ll crank it for the next two weeks and see how it goes..

Weeks 4-7 are also critical. Basically tho in nature its weeks 1-4 the get the most intense sunlight, and a little less as it goes. Theres nothing wrong with going 100% the whole time tho, thats what id aim for unless there is plant stress.

Imo if you change the regimen,especially adding more hours of light you will just confuse the plants which would negstively affect yields

I dont think hes talking about adding more hours of light, just more light intensity.

Yes that’s correct.. I have another light I can add. I just have to keep an eye on my power usage over the whole flowering period.. The photoperiod won’t change..

Oh sorry,my bad
Adding more light cant hurt at all!
