Grow QuestionsDo you lower light intensity and temps towards the end of flower?

Do you lower light intensity and temps towards the end of flower?

L8bloomr1008started grow question 4 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%.

Doubling light/adding a panel in flower Adding a second light panel-- any tips? Will it be too much? I've been using a viparspectra p1000 in my 2x3ish closet and it's done me well up to this point. Today I've installed a second led panel (not as good as vipar). Wondered if it'll be too much?

What % to keep lights at during late veg My question was around what power % I should have my lights at? My light is 300watts so I am assuming 50% = 150watts? Is this enough to continue vegging my plant? I have noticed the growth isn't as vigorous.
