    Default Lowering temps for flush

    I heard this a couple times now and just wondering if anyone does it themselves, They said lowering temps to around 20-23 degrees c when you flush for 2 weeks helps make the buds more dense. Is it just BS?

    Also what would you say is the perfect temperature and humidity for flower stage? My last one got pretty hot in there as the heatwave came at the worst time lol.

    tbh in flower am usually at about 22-25 an rh below 55% anyway, keepin temps lower will help the terps like,

    flushing is to rid the media of nutes etc an force the plant to use up stored nutes so we get better smoke come chop.

    Yup. I love to see the plant finishing properly with fall colors. Make me feel like I did it right.

    Actually a couple of the guys are discussing, ice water flush, ideal temp & RH- 72f/50-60%. My grow rooms run 82-84f lights on, RH veg, 60-70% early stage then

    to many people stress about rh levels for each week of flowering an veg etc, that bollocks got old fast, anything from 55+ in veg and below in flower seems to have worked well throughout my grows. seedling stage an early veg little higher like 60+ works well.

    guess av just got lazy over the years

    just dont stress about it maaaaaaaaaaaan otherwise you just make to much work outta nothing

    I have been saving a pheno of Anesthesia by Whazzup because of its lovley reddish finish. Almost lost her to my thrips and gnat infestation. Managed to save her in the end and get 3 cuttings to root. Next up is trying to make seeds so that I don't have to keep a mother. (For anyone counting, 3 in the main room for the seedsman comp. The tent has the auto for "growing with Gaz" and the 3 annie cuttings making 7 total. Mother has been trashed)

    Next week I will try to go to my friends house and take photos of the two plants i gave him that he has outside. One is a beast. They are his but since I will post photos that makes 9.
