Ive recently been thinking about the autumning off of a plant. And by this i mean as the plant starts to produce a lightning in colour and yellowness of the leaves at the end of the plants life cyclee.
Does anybody use this method with there grow? And if they do how do they go about it?

Only way is cold air around the leaves.
Wat about the reduction of light in final weeks of flower? Or cooler tempretured water wen feeding?
Any body with any proven techniques or ideas don't be scared to comment any idea is better than non.
Come on people all theories are welcome

12/12 triggers flowering so reduction of light would only hamper flowering and cold water will only shock the plants. Like I said its gradual cold ambient air that you want.

Last 2 weeks water only. The plant will consume all stored nutes and will automatically start yellowing from the stored nutes being consumed. Also drop temps last 2 weeks for some great purples and pink tones

Yes this i what i was thinking of doing the final 2 weeks. Id gone off the flush(no nutes added) idea and kind of more towards a leaching(decrease ppm feed by feed).

10:30am on and 13:30pm off?! or 10:30am off and 13:30pm on?!
Creates a lot of different types of bud. Diff terpene profile as well as uplifting high no matter color of trichomes. I use ice every other day last week of flower load whole top of pot or media with a single layer of ice. Ice water works too but normally kills roots on first try so I just use the ice. Real effective

How so?
curious since I use 10:30/13:30 in my flower room

Lots of growers use ice water at the end to get purple buds, it's a common practice, some even use ice @Afgan King
Yer a was thinking of dropping light to 11 on 13 off. Then final week 10n half on 13 n half off. And yer my friend has currently had a go using ice n that plant was more light in colour @budulyk

Or would increasing the light time have more of a positive effect rather than decreasing light time
