Bringing plants in at night

Quick question.

Here in the Pacific Northwest fall has really set in now even though its relatively dry (only a bit of rain) its not getting warm enough during the day to dry stuff up. I noticed my first sign of bud rot a couple days ago and got on it quick removed the portion of the plant but it has gotten me thinking.

I have built shelters to keep the direct rain off my plants but its just damp and never really dries up, would bringing my plants in at night be a good or bad idea? I could put them in a room with a fan and put some heat on to get them to dry up a bit. This all being said I have read in a few different opinions that colder nights can trigger and promote flowering.

Does anyone have thoughts or experiences doing this? Thanks

The length of the dark period is what makes a plant flower.

What many folks do in your situation is to remove a lot of the lower leaves and buds to increase air flow. Make sure any weeds or plant material nearby is not touching the plants. If possible, you can put a fan on them.

Cut out the rot daily. Wash your hands and scissors after doing it. Pray for sun.

It's definitely possible if your plants aren't too big. You just have to be careful not to alter the light cycle too much and potentially induce herming.

Just check them daily and cut out the rot. Put them undercover at night so the don't get the morning dew and try to get a fan 0n em.
