Cool Down in 18/6 necessary?

Not sure if a temperature drop during lights out affects size of buds or how quickly the flower might "become ready" to harvest. Would a small temperature drop, say ten degrees Fahrenheit, encourage terpene content, color, trichome production and even leaf colour?

I have a ceramic heater kick on during the 6 hrs lights off to keep heat at 26 C. Now I’m wondering if I should?

Just don't let it get too low or PM can rear it's ugly head. I would stay above 70f, 68f for sure.

Refresh my memory.....PM is what ?

WheN you think of plants growing outside, it would cool down considerably at night right?

Powdery Mildew. In my veg room if I let my AC run and cool the room when the lights are off I get PM when it hits 68f. So I avoid letting the temperature go below 70f.

Oh right. Wouldn’t an oscillating fan in the grow area prevent that?
