Reducing light wattage in last week of flower

[visualsensation]

Many seem to turn the light out for at least a day some more at the end of flower.

I have a lumetek digital ballast that has 4 different power settings.

What if I dropped it from "Super Lumens" 600 watts plus - to 600 - then 400 - then 360 over the entire last week of flowering?

Any benefit in reducing the intensity of light to "Fool" the plant into thinking its the end over a longer period of time versus just the last day?

ya i do it all the time.. ill reduce my 1k back to 750 or even 500.. its no big deal the last week

What are you trying to do by reducing the light?

More resin production?

Yes on the resin - Maybe help it give a last push at the end -

They are VERY close to finishing and I am not going to be around for 6 days and the idea came to me - I don't want anyone else chopping or turning the light off- but if I simply had them turned the switch and do it again mid week and again at then end - maybe there is a benefit?

They usually only go 60 days - but I switched to General Hydroponics
and the K.I.S.S. method this go around from a normal FoxFarm regiment and it looks like they want another week
