also if i bring it in at night,to keep her warm,does it have to be compleatly pitch black,or does a little off light hurt it,questions questions,lol
well let me ask this stupid question,,what happens when its full moon every month,and pretty light out,for 3 or 4 days,on top this hill im on,it like daytime almost,,lol,pretty light out
High times had a article on this. Moon light won't interfere with the flowering cycle. I know I've grown indoor and out.
Here's what you are failing to understand. THC degrades when in contact with light. Once mature, the resin glands only last a short window before turning amber due to lights on for 12 hours a day.
When you turn the lights off for 10-14 days, what it does is allow the sugar that the plant has developed all day to be drawn out of the plant into the production and maturity of the trichomes.
More darkenss = More trichomes
Same goes for a 20°F(10°C) temperature drop every night in flowering.
Cooler temps allow more sugar to be produced.
So in the end with both of these things in effect, I should hit and surpass projected THC levels for each strain.
the 10 day of dark is interestinng tho.ive read conflicing srories on that in this site,someone i know put 24 light on the last 10 days,and that did not turn out good,lol,i believe id try the dark over that idea
I usually give 2-3 days complete darkness (after one last light watering), then chop and trim under green light. In my experience it can really help the taste. Just my 2 pesos.
