Darkness before harvest? Meaning turn the lights out for a few days before harvesting?

Yes.
So a plant can't be grown in a manner which lets it go full potential for potency?
How many days?

ENVIRONMENT
OK then what part of environment is most likely to make the most potent plants? Lets say they are grown organically and not a single damaged leaf? Perfect looking plants in every way.

I would say light intensity heavily effects frost. Im a noob so thats all i got lol. Second to me would maybe be heat.
Agreed but in reality one of the finer parts of indoor growing is that you control the environment to perfection.
It is amazing the power you can get out of modern LED's. Heat as in keeping the plants as warms as they can take?

Yea. Ive noticed heat effects how fast they grow dramatically, but also how fast the plant matures and degrades. Its metabolism i guess. Mine seem to like it around 80-85f.
Heat does make the plants transpire more but the bad part of that is the high humidity that creates.

Yeah but its like an engine right? The more light (fuel) we put in the more exhaust is produced (humidity and oxygen). This is worth the extra growth rates of having to use a dehumidifer in my experience.

Yeah i only have 5 plants right now but they kick out enough humidity to have a 70 pint running a good 10% of the day. Im in dtw hydro and in a more sealed room this time its a new challenge for sure. I was used to venting outside

Flush the plant for two weeks before harvest
