what can be the problem

so... i am concern of the night time temps dropping below 14C (57F), must of been going on for the last 5 weeks of flower. during the lights on the temps are 24C (75F), growth of the plants seem slower than usual for week 5. I also changed the direction of the mini split blower from rotation ( shoots upwards to downwards and back up) to only shooting upwards as i thought the cold air coming out of the mini split was affecting the plants.

would the night temps be a reason for slow growth or would there be other factors?

i also removed like 25-50% of the fan leaves off on Jan 24t; to allow light to penetrate further down the plants. (using 1000W double ended) distance from plants is 5feet.

if I add a week to my schedule would that help with the recovery or will the plants be too mature by then?

thanks for dropping by and reading.

if more info is need; I will add it in as request and if needed photos i can upload them too.

Here are some pictures, purpling of the tips. Doesn’t seem like a good purpling. And the second picture is plants in front/under the AC.

Try to have only a 10-12 degree swing till the last two weeks of flower then you can go lower to get the fall effect going.

Picking of the leaves set them back a little (stress) but you cant go by a calendar you go by plant development and the trikes to say when its done.

Not having the mini split blowing directly on the plants was a good call.

thanks for getting back Berni420!

like if it’s a 9 week strain...does a week of slow down make it a 10 week strain...or does the plant still know it’s been flowering for 9 weeks

Or will it still just mature normally even though we slowed it down for a week
