im glad cause all that info lost mke...lol.
and to the other dood with the temps all over, when we test our final product anhd have bad temps and huge swings as you say is good we test at low thc and other cannabinoid profiles so science tells are your commercial croppers that its not ok to have those numbers. and the scale and location of the people dont mean shit. getting those colours means the chloraphyl has stopped and is also a weeker weed. your getting lots of trichomes cause that is a deffence against stress and dont nake more potent bud. they still need to be filled with cannabinoids. they are bag apeal unless there is enough time left in the grow to make them full. but being stressed they usualy strugle doing that
I didnt say to have huge swings, i have less than a 10 degree difference in my nights and days, 15 is ok but heavy swings are bad, plants like consistency-and they will stop budding until temps are more to their liking. But for flowering-they like it colder-its fall in nature-its colder than 70 all the time.
As to the scale, knowledge and location of myself and friends, Amsterdam has always been the leader in MMJ. Just like learning karate from bruce lee(or whoever the best is), learning how to grow from a dutchmaster grower- is probably the best education you can have, but any education from a professional is better than being self taught. We talk daily about different techniques and possibilities, and have several test tents devoted to different factors during each cycle. We constantly are refuting old "scientific evidence" which is mostly old school myths and misinformation-just like the water god being responsible for droughts lol...
I am a commercial cropper-and i know what is important to a plant, and to my patients. I yield over a qp on each plant, usually about a 1/2lb average at this temp. They all have remarkable colors and High THC -(19-27% average tested). and the colors are not because the chlorophyll has stopped, and it does not produce a weaker weed(thats like saying all purps arent as strong as green bud). It is because of harsher enviroment to the leaves, and the plants reaction to that is to cover it in more trichomes (the 1 thing you are right about) hence producing more THC. The colors are for bag appeal, as colors mean nothing about potency, and more trichomes.
To say more trichomes does not make for a more potent bud is just a sad and stupid statement. They are always filled with cannabinoids, thats like saying you dont have DNA in your fingernails if they grow too fast or long...
I was simply stating temp ranges. I try to keep mine at 55 at night and 65 at day time. this varies a few degrees, but i after growing over 70, and then as 70 as my max during flower, i have grown, larger, more covered buds.
my plants never get stressed, and never have any problem, as long as the root system stays warm, the plant thrives in that weather
So basically, spend some time working on different possibilities, instead of bashing ideas you have obviously not tried, and then come talk science with me- a BS in organic chem, or microbiology would be nice, but ill take a HS diploma- since u cant spell chlorophyll or appeal, defense, or struggle- right...not to mention your loosely based knowledge on them and how they work-in a sentence and in science...
I used to skim these forums for ideas, tips, and different opinions, i started posting recently because of how wrong or uninformed so many posts are-trying to correct the unfounded and misinformed-and help growers.
