Does anybody dim their lights for the last week?

Hello all, I'm interested to hear it here, I like to dim my SP3000 to 25% last 5-7 days, seems to stack well and resin is always full. I will do this after the advertised flowering time for the plant, kinda hanging out and ripening for up to a week. ANY THOUGHTS?, {crazy, waste of time, nice, pointless}

.02$ COBs seem to benefit from this over SMD panels...(now I got your attention;))

I think good weed grown well is going to turn out good if you bring it to maturity with little excess/deficiency regardless of what happens in the last few days (outside of weather borne pathogens)

What about excessive heat on the final week with terpene burn off, my thoughts along these lines are soften the impact on the plant and you'll have more expressive resins. Possibly a pipe dream..

I was thinking a far red response kind of. Mimicking shade effect but with equal Spectra across the board.

If it works for you then all good. Many garden “ tricks “ out there , like dropping light cycle from 12/12 to 11/13 ( preferred ) or even 10/14 ( which helps lagging flower or plants stalling ) by forcing flower. Some do drought stress during flower too ( actually works ) , bumping UV for resin production .

Again no rules.
I add pee , plants crave it.

I am of 2 minds.

Land of origin is so very important. I think a plant that has deep ancestry in warm environments are going to present differently than plants that traditionally reach maturity as the temperature drops, or lives its whole life where the temps are lower. If the best high comes with some terps being burnt off, then thats what I want.

On the other hand... I am not familiar enough with the entourage effect to really speak on it, but as a rule of thumb, Effects>potency>Everything else. I dont really care about how weed tastes, or smells. I like a good taste and LOVE the pineapple garbage funk I get from Pineapple Fields, but its the high that has me running a gaggle of seedlings for selection and seed expansion. So in other words, terps arent necessarily my thing. But thats just me.

We share thoughts on environmental factors impacting genetic expression. All goes down to do a little homework before you plant the seed I think... Thanks for chiming in. I appreciate everything
