but what if outside isn't an optimal environment to begin with? what do you enjoy more a house or a cave? also plants don't like it much if you constantly shift around the stuff they rely upon... if anything it must be done quite gently... esp in flower.
Ive done this a couple times .... Gaslight ( lantern ) method. I ran mostly with long running Sativa strains ( 14 weeks sometimes ) to see if I could kick them in the ass a bit. It did cut down actual flower quite a bit after I found out about it. Some say light manipulation cuts yield ... IMO if flowers are already in mid / late flower most of the flower as already been formed then all I’m doing is making them metabolize more with less stored energy from a fading cycle. You will notice more pronounced terp profile ... more fragrance .
Most definitely will give this a try.. I currently run them 10 on 14 off... This is my first attempt at it so all I’ve noticed is a decrease in utilities, which is always a good thing..my plants seems to be growing well..
and leave them in the dark for 48 hours because I love bro science bro's, that's how we do.
Simply put, your mimicking to almost perfect timing, hopefully,
Lower temperature is better because she knows she's going to die. And gives her life up, basically fighting, and therfore, pumping cannabinoids.
How were your results running and lower temps?
That is the most Bro science post I've seen all week. Lowering temps outside of optimal will only cause lower rates of growth and cannabinoids as a result. Higher optimal temps produce more cannabinoids, not the other way around.
About the same... but, all strains/pheno's react differently to mimicking Fall.
I grow outdoors and the temps naturally lower in the fall, as we all know, and I had outstanding results! Temps dipped into the 30s before they were harvested. Genetics produce more cannabinoids than any other single factor. I had 5 outdoor plants test over 24% thc and one had 33% total cannabinoids, according to the official state testing I had done, for what those numbers are worth. I also had the terps tested. I'm looking forward to even more comprehensive testing to be developed that allows us to measure more of the elements of cannabis that contribute to the effects! We all know there is more to it than just terps and thc, and cbd, cbn, cbg, ect.. I also grow indoors and reduce the lighting intensity towards the end of flower, and those plants also tested well!
Such as?
I actually tried running the same temp from start to finish in flower. Lower intensity in the beginning and gradual increase. Temps stayed the same though. Buds came out stickier than dropping temps at the end. Going to be cheaper and easier this summer.
He's talking about senescence, which is induced by a cooler termperature shift in annual plants, you know very little about plants it's reveiling.
I know exactly what he's talking about but it has no to very little application indoors in a controlled environment.
Sure it makes sense but where is the actual data with a side by side comparison showing the positive effects?
Nice! I'm in Oklahoma, I should go look those guys up! Added bonus, it saves the grow money in utility bills!
