From the crazy recesses of my mind come all sorts of stupidity. But I sometimes pull an Einstein-Bradbury out of the cats hat. And I'd like some opinions about it.
Most growers keep their temperatures as stable as they can throughout the plants cycle, but ages back, someone who remains nameless, or at least unpronounceable, started to think about what happened if you stopped keeping the temp stable and deliberately adjusted it to mimic nature. Well.... After killing way more plants that was sensible, they noticed that when the temp fluctuated, but not by a great deal, the outdoor babies started to put on their big girl blouses and start to fatten in advance of the approaching winter.
So they set up a few rooms with clones from the same mother in each room.
By looking at a weather chart, they noticed the temp went up until mid-late afternoon then down until just around sunrise. So they set their controllers to increase the day temp up to 3 degrees Celsius higher around the 9 hour of light time in a 12/12 and to drop by the same hitting the lowest temp just as the lights and having their coffee before work.
Then they went crazier and noticed that the tides seem to do the same. At times the tides rose higher, sometimes lower so they factored that in as well.
This was all too much for their comprehension so they got hell baked, then did it again just because they could, then they made the 3 become a 2 at times to coincide with the local tide times.
Being of such powerful and scientific minds, they then promptly forgot to write down any of it and had to work it out again.
So instead, they found out that if you dutch out a 3 bedroom house, take the bloody budgerigar outside first! It recovered, but only sort of...
Being remorseful, they gently placed the bird outside, taped the door up again and got back down to business.
Through all this turmoil, they still do this fluctuation in their grow rooms and consistently turn out bud better that anyone else when growing genetically identical plants, same nutes, same lights etc...
Yes, a sudden temp change can destroy your plants, but a gradual one, mimicking both outdoor temp and tides does, in their opinion, work. And my opinion is identical if not better. Taste, smell and potency all improve.
Have any of you tried this yourselves?
