Reducing light to improve the high?

[sex_pistils]

Hey, so I grew some bagseed once and I noticed that the stoney effect came on after THC levels had already peaked. If I would have cut it right at THC peak it would have not been stoney enough. Poor genetics, I know. Anyways, is it possible to start reducing the light u give it once THC has peaked to make it mature faster and have peak THC with a good body stone at same time? Thank u

I think one could achieve a great uplifting high this way with a good stone at the same time. Also, the lower light levels will help to preserve the THC. More dark hours make it mature faster right? I think one could sample their bud and check to see when it is the most uplifting and start a 8/16 hour cycle after that. Any opinions?

I've sped up my harvest with 10/14 before.

I think raising the light might help as well, simulating Fall

The effect of harvest timing on the quality of the high is MUCH smaller than the effect of the genes. Not possible to turn a couch locking indica into an uplifting sativa by picking early. Basically, if you want a different high, the best way is to plant those seeds. That being said, lower light levels towards advanced flowering is always a good idea. Lets the ladies wind down more gracefully, don't ya know!
