Really at the end of flower? I'm talking about the last 1-2 weeks in flower before harvest. Sorry for any confusion, should of put that in my first post.
Awesome! What benefits have you noticed by doing that?
I really don't know.. it just makes sense to me. We get a decent yield at ~110-115g per plant dried and cured, or 1.7ish lbs wet, ready for processors. You can see our 3rd run in the link below. We are a small boutique grower in Oklahoma.
Raising lights/lowering intensity, and lower room temps are helpful from what I'm reading. Still more to study up on.
Right on!... We start out at around 78 in veg, and like right now, we are 2 weeks to finish, and run the temps at ~70 during lights on , and ~63 during lights off.I'm learning to NOT vaporize my terps.
Fun Fact: Over 200 natural terpenes have been identified in cannabis strains. More than 20,000 terpenes exist in nature.
Evaperation Starting point:
The most volatile terpenes found in the cannabis plant will start to evaporate around 70° F (filling the air with a pungent aroma). Other terpenes will begin to evaporate rapidly around 100° F, although temperatures will vary.
Boiling point:
Many terpenes vaporize near the same temperature as THC (which boils at about 157°C), although some terpenes are more volatile than others and begin to vaporizer at lower temperatures.

I was thinking the same but couldn’t find any hard evidence on it. My thinking was just like drying. Higher drying temps will ruin certain terps.I'm learning to NOT vaporize my terps.

How high were your temps when you noticed those stronger smells? Something I noticed is that things get stinkier around my rooms is when the lights are on and during the their night schedule.
I’d say closer to upper 70’s , low 80’s throughout.
That's true. But isn't it the case that Cannabis can only use a say, "specific" amount of light per day because of some of the internal mechanisms of the plant do capsize it? Light will build sugar but if the plant has this plentiful already it may not need anymore and one could cut those electricitiy costs. I don't know... there are so many factors.... as my plants get older they thin out in leafmass they seem to loose a bit on their ability to scoop up the light.
hello, what would you do with your lights? maybe move them a little bit more closer to compensate the loss of lighttime? although, from a mimics point of view, it should less strong so I don't know...
