    Default ice flush and 48hours dark ?

    so always trying try new things, always thought water too cold was bad for the girls as i usually fill from a shower on setting 1 so its luke warm. read up that ice cold water feed at the end of flower gives a boost in production due to the plant thinking its winter. isit just the very last water you try to give ice cold ? or throughout the 2 week flush ? and then the 48 hour darkness i have tried on my 1st and second grow , but its not enough to give a good indication of if its good or not. first grow nice solid buds, second grow were abit more fluffy and lite ( but second grow had alot of issues with burn and spidermites so cant really use this one as an example )

    anybody do both or either of these? cheers

    Over the last week, if the plant is ripe, reducing the temps of the feeed, the medium and the environment can bring out colours, in some strains.

    But it's more to do with the pheno than anything else. Most the time, you'll just stress it and reduce growth with no real change to the colour

    by chilling the soil/water, your plants change color due to deficiency,
    as above mate it's just another type of stress,

    the last weeks is the most important for your potency,
    that's why people don't do it normally - ice cold water

    if you can find a good gsc they naturally chance without forcing a deficiency
    that's the best of both worlds

    potent with a nice color

    hope you get what your after kilo

    Ice for 48 hours won?t make a difference, if anything do ice for a week. The 48hrs is rubbishy in my opinion, just stress her out.
