Flowering temperature and light strength?

SPB18
SPB18started grow question 3y ago
The strain I'm growing can get hues of purple and blue if temps low. I don't have a AC just fresh air in. If I drop the light % 100% - 75% my temp drops from 77 to 71. last week before harvest is it best to keep lights full or drop them and get those girls changing colours?

Keep the lights at 100%, cannabinoids and terpenes are more important than colour. Anyway, to encourage colour change, which can not be guaranteed, the temps between day and night are the ones that matter, not just cooler day temps. To get this to happen there needs to be a 10-15 degrees Celsius difference between day (lights on) temps and night ( lights off) temps and this needs to occur for 3-4 weeks before anything happens. It only affects leaf colour too, (and is an accumalation of anthocyanins or pigments, which have no effect on potency), so once trimed there is little to even validate the experience. Flower (calyx) colour is another thing all together and is largely a function of genetics. If you want purple buds, you need to buy a strain that has the genetic dominance for doing so. Hope this helps, Organoman.

Would keep the light at 100 percent. Starving them also causes color morph In the fade.

If you have a ppfd meter and can keep the proper ppfd consistent by lowering the height of the lights as well as reducing the power then yes.
