Do you lower light intensity and temps towards the end of flower?
L8bloomr1008started grow question 5 months ago
So I’m in mid flower, start of week 7 to be exact. I’m curious on when you guys start pulling back light intensity and going with a little cooler temps. I’m running a 240W S33 from AC infinity in a 3x3.
Should I be going strictly off of PAR or VPD at this point.

Light = work done inside the plant. More work = more ripening.
Whatever effect it might have it better be profound tomake up for the single greatest factor for the plant doing anything useful.
if your VPD is good, then excess evaporation is probably not a problem. Bro-science involving starvation type stress is slowly being proven wrong. Just as depepriving the plant of light the last 36-48h has a negative effect not a positive one.
If concerend about maximizing terps, focus on temps/RH while drying. That's when the decay starts. The plant maintains that stuff while alive. Maintenance requires energy.

No, that is not how plants work.
0011 has given you a solid answer.
Just keep doing whatever you have been doing so far.

I wouldn’t lower the PPFD. I would have around 600 on week 7, 700 on week 8, 750 on week 9 and 800 on week 10. That’s just a rule of thumb. I would just lower the PPFD if the plants show some sun bleach. And when it comes to VPD, I would strictly follow it but just make sure to not have to humid in the tent. I would have around 45-55%.

Best Light Schedule for Autoflowers?I'm wondering what light schedules my fellow growers like to use with their Autoflowers?

When to lower light intensity?When is the right time to lower light intensity? I'm on 5th week of flowering, should I keep my lights on max or reduce the power/increase the distance to plants? I have around 1000W of Led's at 35-60cm distance from the tops. I see no burning/bleaching or anything like that.

Is this a sign of too much light?I’m noticing the leaves grow extremely close to each other, should I be concerned at this stage, should I pull the light higher back?
