Ok then nowt here as of yet so this  a start....

 

14/10 and either light set higher or  reduce the lumens all to induce the end of their cycle last few weeks?

 

everyone do this to some degree?

theres a nice new shiney medal to start the new year Fairy well done mate

 

 

as for dropping lights with my Autos after about 5wks in flower i usualy start to take some light time off to start there finish but not really seen any difference in finishing times

 

but autos can be fickle at times mate

yoo Mellowed and Zip.

 

Wondered who swears by doing them methods last few weeks of their grow, imitating their natural seasonal cycle -  fatten the buds out more and trichcome production?

 

or those who dont bother and dont see any difference from doing it?

 

 

cheers

Ah I see. Daaaamn I must be stoned
I tend to leave them alone until the flush then I start reducing the light hours to 11/13 then the last week 10/14.

Do you see any benefit Mellowed?

 

loads of different ways, ive tired a few ways  now, but not sure if i get any benefit.

 

so sure you guys will know what has worked for you over the years

It dont think it does work or tbh show any noticable increase in speed until after the first week but i think thats down to the plant getting use to the drop in light. .......shock almost but not as bad.
Once that first week is up then they speed up a bit more.
Tbh i dont know why i adjust my lights to 11/13 but it makes me feel better lol

Ive also played about with leaving plants in the dark for a week or so an kept an eye on them.
This is what i found.
First 3-4 days nothing happens but after that the trics will mature quicker. After 5-6 days most tricomes have started to mature and gone either cloudy or amber. I didnt go past about 8 days i think it was.

Hope that helps mate.
