Lovely plants brother. Do you always keep the temperature this low? Or is it because the grow is coming to an end?

Hey thanks Bob!

I snapped this image in the middle of the night cycle, and that's the bottom cap. I never let the temp fall below 68°F at night. And I try to keep it under 78° during the day, and am normally able to keep it steady at 76° all the time. I like to keep a somewhat controlled natural night/day temp fluctuation.

I don't have a night/day schedule. I run 24/7 lights on, keeps everything nice and stable ánd they're auto's, so they'll flower anywho, so why not give 'm as much energy as you can give, that's my view on it. Inside the greenhouse is another story, there I'm nature's slave

I've used a 24Hr schedule and it works great, and is definitely useful for extreme winters. But after much trial and error over the years, I prefer 20/4. IME, a night schedule with consistent high/low temp flux helps stimulate abundant trichome production, and helps preserve terpenes.


Ahhh, the methods of madness...

I know brother. The grass is always greener on the other side, kinda feeling...
I'm currently experimenting with an additional UV light to promote trichome production.

I seem to remember reading something about cell elongation being more active during night time periods. So other processes will also be affected by a light/dark cycle. But I can't help but think that an autoflower, because it is missing the activation gene to go into flower, would be likely that the other processes won't work the same as in a photo.

That being said, who am I to advise you into another direction when you have results like these?

Still happy to discuss growing techniques as I'm still learning my friend
