Vegging plants need less light but blue dominate, while flowering needs much more intensity and more red dominate.

Thanks oldmac, I do have a grasp of the basics... I've been reading up on some of the advanced techniques with light and scheduling and have been wondering what is valid and what is not. Thanks for the clarity on the 36 our darkness issue.

I would not go down in amount of light for end of flower tho, I might try adding a light that could give better trichome finish. Adding some UVb (use great caution with this) or look to change the spectrum for the last week or two, using a bulb that is in the 10,000k range. Something like a PSMH, or CMH or even a MH in that range. It makes a big difference with getting trichs to turn amber.

PSMH - is that a conversion bulb? If I could run a CMH I definitely would but unfortunately it requires a coil/magnetic ballast or a rarefied electronic ballast neither of which are in my arsenal.
