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.
are your fans on timers too? how is the exhaust when the lights go out? Don't put the black light close to the plant, mount it to the ceiling of something, it doesn't take much, and if you leave it on for longer than like half an hour, you could burn the plant. The sticky THC trich's do a lot for the plant.... keeps them warm, keeps them cool, helps collect the pollen of the male, and helps filter light. UV rays are not particularly good for pot plants, bit towards the end of flowering it can do something interesting, in stimulating the resins that protect the plant, and those same resins get me stoned, so
... and the plant is going to be chopped in like a week or two anyways right?? so no big deal.
I agree, I will definately try to use the blacklight for a half an hour, what did you say every four hrs. ? and no my fan is always on and I have no real ventilation except for an a/c unit that I run the fan on if it is to cool for a/c .are your fans on timers too? how is the exhaust when the lights go out?

your picture saddens me very much there.... hands over a WWxMango nugget as big as a toothpaste bottle, here, smoke this instead,I agree, I will definately try to use the blacklight for a half an hour, what did you say every four hrs. ? and no my fan is always on and I have no real ventilation except for an a/c unit that I run the fan on if it is to cool for a/c .
That is exactly what I will do (to many shwag bong rips sorry) # at last day chop and three after two days darkness !! BRILLIANT !! haha
