!!!Old School Hippie-Science Incoming!!!

Ever hear folks say that the resin/trichomes are the plant’s sunscreen?

I’ve had this issue when I’m running plants indoors that are opposite the season outside – harvesting Spring-Summer. I think nature kinda “knows”.

I’ll turn my light intensity down from 60% to 40% (1000ish ppf to 700ish) and run cooler temps with more direct of a breeze during my last week. I think it signals the planet to finish up like it’s the end of fall.

The explanation is total Bro-science, I haven’t researched it, but it’s an SOP for me at this point because it works.

I’ve been on this quest. Living in the state that I do – I didn’t want to buy a C02 system and have to transport refills. I tried boosters, bags, mushrooms, BREWING MEAD, yeast and sugar. I had no idea how much was being produced, or if any was actually getting to my plants.

Eventually, I bought a C02 meter and moved my grow to the windowless side of my basement where ambient C02 was higher.

Nothing replaces a controller.

It won’t hurt anything. You can get some tasty mushrooms. But they aren’t going to produce 400ppm. I’ve never gotten anything significant from them.
