So this week was a good one. I got the temperatures down to mid to high 70’s with the light on and about 68 with them off… pistils are getting there, I’d say almost 50% orange at this point.. still packing on weight and crystal, and will begin the flush process now to see if I can flush for at least a week maybe 2… I can always tell the last two weeks because even with my carbon filter my room starts to smell lovely 😊. The RH has been low due to the colder environment sitting in the mid to low 40’s. One or two weeks of flush then time to hang!! Almost there!
Keep RH around 40-50%.
UV exposure during flower can increase trichome production. If you have UV in your lights, you don't want it on during vege phase or even early bloom, i bet. It's a stress that causes the growth of trichomes. It will adapt to UV and be resistant to it, if you expose from start (like field crops do -- this is why initial studies showed it did not help.. they were testing plants out in a field and exposed to sun from sprout, which have developed resistance to UV.)
Certain stresses can cause it to occur. heat, low rh%, UV rays etc etc... but becareful not to piss off plant and grow nanners in your quest to augment trichome production. I'd becareful with heat. The RH suggestion is safe.. uv should be safe, for the plant (do use precaution for yourself, as UV will cause skin cancer.)
in the end, any technique you use is always relative to genetics. Can't put lipstick on a pig... well, i guess you could, but it's still a pig. Not a reference to your plants, but explaining concept.
Hey! Happy growing my friend! I hope you do well and get some good results! I will come by sometime to see your progress!
