Lighting adjustment for temperature
The_Dank_Reviewstarted grow question 5 years ago
Tomorrow is going to be a very difficult day to control temperature in the tent. 35C and no aircon. How long can I get away with keeping the lights off? They are on a 20/4 schedule now that the bigger one is flowering. I may be able to dim it very low if It still isn’t too hot

Hey friend,
Technically you could drop it to 12 and then leave your tent open and then turn on the house lights for the remaining 6 hours. This will at least prevent them from being in complete darkness for 12 hours, they'll still be seeing some form of light and shouldn't get overly stressed as a result of the sudden and drastic light changes.
I know autos are a little more tolerant that photoperiods but still worth trying to keep some consistency. 👍

How many days till harvest please? (It's close)Fine-tuning my timing, my 2nd harvest.
Looking for mostly Sativa effects but slight chill is ok to balance the acid-like high — 10-15% amber tx? 90% of pistils are orange/brown now. Feeding with 60-70% flowering mix, but only 50% N. Lens is Apexel 200X + iPhone, no affiliationa month ago

Timing a 7d flush — will it over-ripen if I begin flushing when it's ready for harvest and keep it for 1 more week on flush juice?Need advice on timing a 7d flush. My 2nd grow, both (Sativas) flowered signif. longer than advertised (+2-4 weeks).
To know when to start flushing, do you visually estimate when a plant is no more t 1wk from harvest? If I start flush when it's ripe for harv, too late or ok?a month ago
