Light Deprivation and drought stress

SinSemillaWhisperer420 This is an experiment in week 7 where I will try to mimic techniques done in published trichome production studies. Study claims 20-40% increased trichome production when put through an 11 day drought. I’m only doing 7 days and adding 15 mins prior to lights on and 15 mins thereafter of uvb supplementation. I’ll also be using my light dimmer to mimic light deprivation. Looking forward to the end results!

SinSemillaWhisperer420 Can’t wait to blaze this tempt purple punch cross! I’m running a data log on the drying process and weight lost day by day. Let’s get an exact percentage of weight lost. I will post when 7 day dry at 60F/60%RH is complete. So I wanted to do an experiment to see what the rate of total weight loss is day by day under a controlled drying environment so here it is: Purple Aliens Purple Punch x Aliens OG Wet weight after trimming and cutting branch by branch: 390 g. Bud with stem weight deducted in final weighing (no trim weight included) IMG_1463.JPG Day: Recorded Weight (Recorded Temp./RH) Day 1: 390g (63F/62%RH) Day 2: 197g (65F/56%RH) Day 3: 160.4g (66F/59%RH) Day 4: 139g (67F/55&RH) Day 5: 133g (61F/60%RH) Day 6: 128g (64F/59%RH) Day 7: 123g (60F/61%RH) Final Weight 123g (with stems) - 26g (stem weight) Final Dried Bud Weight: 97g (buds only) 24.87% of wet weight I hope this gives everyone a better idea of what their yield will potentially look like if you wet trim. Good Vibes and Happy Growing!
