Decreasing lights during flower.

I back off on the light the last few weeks in order to reduce heat/humidity potential and keep the buds from getting so dense as that they rot by default before they ever get a chance to mature (regardless of ventilation, you get super dense buds at the end you start to worry).

That's just me, everyone else's own mileage may vary.

good point maxwell, i've lost some bud to rot, and they were very dense, a little too dense

Dehumidifier will stop the mold keep it at 35%

I run my cycle at 11:30 light 12:30 darkness I notice the the extra darkness will ripen up your plant faster you will see noticeable growth from day to day compared to slightly stagnate or slower maturing. Some people say yield suffers ill set up a side by side and compare results in a couple months. I also recently read something about using mh for the last 2 weeks or even last week. I know that uv from mh increases tricome production based off an adaption feature the tricomes protect the plant from damage so they become thicker and produces more I might try that

Oh, I also reduced lights from 12/12 slowly down to 10/14. Currently still at 12/12, but will reduce in half hour increments now.

I was thinking about taking that route also. Instead of decreasing light intensity cut back a little every day for the last couple weeks. I'll be 8 weeks since switch tomorrow.

overthinking stoners overthink too much

I didn't mean to imply I don't do it. It is hard for me to not over think anything, especially after smoking.

I hear ya man. I tend to want my plants perfect all the time. Yet, in everyday life most shit I don't really give a fuck about! I'm a self employed contractor. I do a good job for my customers but, if I gave them half as much attention as I did my plants i'd probably be a millionaire!

Me too, lol.
I just don't give a shit about my clients.

If someone asked me I could save either my plants or my best client from death, I would say, "Damn, could you give me a minute?"

Depends what their paying and how far along in flower!
