Trichrome maturing question

I wanna move my plants to a diff room that's cooler 60° to bring out the purple since I am days before harvest but it is in my room where I watch TV late at night and brights up a bit like a hour before lights on if I did this for 3-4 more days will the light leaks shock my plant and stall trichome development?

Every strain reacts differently to light, but it doesn't take much little light to mess with their photo period. I imagine if the room has enough light for you to move around in and watch TV it's probably more light than they should have at night.
At the same time, I don't know that it would really cause a problem 4 days before harvest. At this point I imagine your plants are basically ready for harvest and on a flush cycle. Generally the window for harvest is a week or two so my thought is it probably wouldn't matter.

You probably won't get cold purple in 3-4 days at 60. If you really wanna try though, maybe build a blanket fort around them while you watch tv. Other than that, the extra hour in the morning won't make much of a difference. Hit them with some ice water too when the room is cold. Might increase your chances.

They should imo they got purple genetics and already have shades of purple from 75-85 grow room temp but i want them to really purple up n yeah I'm doing the ice water on the last day and have built a little fort with my wardrobes to block TV light and put a blanket over my window to keep dark early in the am its pretty dark in my room so I should be good

Light leaks can cause herms but at the end, who cares?

If anything, I'd think environmental stress would boost trichome production but indoor think it would matter one way or the other really
