you don't want to reduce light intensity the last week

at this stage plants have the bigger needs in light
thats how you get dense buds and lot of resin

Really it all depends I guess, if you are pushing the plants hard with really intense light and high CO2 PPM / temps during mid flower bulking phase then I have found reducing the light intensity, temperature and CO2 PPM during the ripening phase makes for denser nugs with MORE yield, better terpene content and less instances of fox tailing. If things aren't being pushed to those extremes then a reduction is probably not as beneficial. When an old timer shared this knowledge with me it was hard for me to learn that less is often more but once I learned I never looked back. At first it was hard to make myself turn things down, always thinking more = more.

@PadawanWarrior should I just tell him that I can talk to plants and therefore have the inside scoop on what they crave? lol

You must be a hydro grower because soil growers talk to the microbes not the plant. ;)
They tell me what they want for dinner in terms I can understand.

EWC = Steak
Crab Meal = Crab Legs
Gypsum = Mashed Potatoes

Blood Meal = Wine
Epsom Salt = Beer

Do you dim your lights? or do you shorten the day (ie. hit your DLI in 10h instead of 12. And kill the lights. )? I've seen both methods proposed. What do you think is good?
Either way it saves watts. If it doesn't hurt yield that's an awesome bonus.

The first two pics are from LEDs. But remember that room has a blend of led/hps. Thye last pic is a room with just hps.

Leds are coming in much lighter than HPS's. Will only use in the veg room in future.
