its strain dependant. some mature quicker some later im not sure light has much to do with maturation i know people lower the lights towards the end i have never understood why. i know being ion complete darkness can benefit trichomes but reduced light i assume this would just reduce the optimum growth of the plant in a important stage lol san lights are very good i n my opinion I used to have two of them and they are quite unique due to the angles to can hang them at. the only way i know of stopping trichomes maturing is by harvesting maybe someone else has a better answer :)
