Slow curing over time if you do not dry them to much to fast will improve smoke ability and flavor.

I use multiple seed banks. Seed banks matter only in their trustworthiness. Once you find a good seed bank you can get multiple breeders from them. I use Seedsman, Sensible, and a few others. I am finding a lot of what I need from US seed banks now days. Turn around is much faster. Lots of seed banks carry the same genetics. Prices and a few other things vary so it is best to have a few that you like. What one place is out of another might have. Grimm releases different genetics to different places. Others may do the same.What is your favorite seed bank? My first grow I got from Ministry of cannabis which I thought came out very nice and the others all came from msnl but I’ve had temperature and nute problems sense so I haven’t seen their full potential. Have you Ever heard of these being any good deed banks for genetics?
I’m glad you mentioned something about the temperature I just received a email back from Mars Hydro telling me that they do not have the extension cord to remove this driver on my SP 250 light outside the tent so I’m trying to figure out where I can purchase the same sort of connector they use. Would you happen to know the name of it? Cause as of now I’m popping up some new seedlings and the temperature stays at 87°. My old LED light wasn’t nearly that bad. The tent is in a 70 degree room... I do hang the branches full but I never did get to the point where the branches actually snapped before curing them. They would be hanging for like almost two weeks. Should I let them hang longer until the smaller branches got the snap or is a couple weeks hanging ok?
Yeah the sad part is I am an electrician so I should’ve had this ballast out of here a long time ago lol but here is a picture of my set up I got three fans one isolating and two clip fans that I turn on later in the grow. With a bad ass AC infinity exhaust blower that I can control the speed on from a remote. When it’s on high it can suck in the side of the walls in good. Even got one of those CO2 bags because they see plants can do better and higher temps if the CO2 levels are up but who knows I rather have it cooler than 80+ degrees. But I do exhaust from the top but I can’t bring it out a window so I have my duck going into the hallway near my AC return. So hopefully taking the main source of heat out does the trick for me lol. But yea I love those be a packs novena packs i’ve use them even before I started growing. Got some of those mini Hydrometers to see what the Rh is looking like when I jar them. Just trying to give myself the best opportunity for some fiyaaa haha.On the light cable check Mouser or Digikey for what you need. Cutting a cable and adding a plug and then a longer cable to remove the driver from the grow space should be pretty easy.
Your room shouldn't be getting that hot with 1 SP 250 lamp in there. I run a much larger lamps with pulling a lot more power. You need a fan going on the plants and a good extraction fan with a filter. I open my vent on 1 end of the tent and extract at the other end and have a fan blowing the fresh air into the tent at the plants. I extract from the top of the temp where the heat collects. My temps stay the same as the room its in right at 73F - sometimes I open the widow after lights out to cool room down into the 60-65F range.
On your drying. I hang the whole plant upside down usually with a small 9" fan going on it but not always. I never let it hang dry till the twigs snap. I hang for about 4 days give or take, trim the flowers into jars with Boveda packs. Check them every day for 3 or so days just take the lid off and see how they are. If they are too moist I will dump the jar into a card board box and let them sit over night in the box then back into the jars.
Most of the time they are fine in the jars with Boveda 62% packs. Sometimes I get some really greasy flowers that need that extra day in a box.

Now if only these seeds would pop already. It’s been 5 days
You do Commercial or residential?I’m a sparky as well.
The SP250's lumen is 41849Lm±5%@AC120V. It's a good idea to leave the power outside and put it back when you think weather is coldWell I finally took the driver out of the tent and I must say it is staying at a pleasant 75° with out any fans on. Now I just need to safely mount The hot ass driver to a bracket I made on the wall lol. Should’ve done this a long time ago! .... Also @SmokeSara do you know How many lumens this SP 250 light produces?
Almost 42,000 lumens? Wow! Here in the subtropical temps of NOLA I wish it would actually get cold enough for me to do that!The SP250's lumen is 41849Lm±5%@AC120V. It's a good idea to leave the power outside and put it back when you think weather is cold
Mostly commercial for the company I work for. But a lot of resi as side work. How about you?You do Commercial or residential?

Keeping your grow temps in check helps immensely. Around 75° preferably no higher at flower will ensure those easily volatilized plant esters and terpenes stay in the plant.
Like you say, to cold and the plants go dormant until the temps warm back up. The plants do not seem to be using anywhere near the amounts of water that they usually do. If it is to hot the plants shut down except for transpiration so attention has to be paid to how dry the plants are becoming without over watering.Temp does effect a plant enough to screw up flavor and burn. I found out recently myself. In my case it was cold temps that kept the plant from growing well enough to use all the nuits. I was giving them the same amount of food I did before. I was never able to flush all the unused nuits out. To high of temps will shut down growth also. If too much time was spent over 90 degrees the plant was not growing. The outcome would be the same or similar.
I do grow mostly organic and think it helps with flavor. I have never used anything like molasses to sweeten them. I never use anything for flavor. If they are going to have flavor they will. It will be because of genetics not food. Other then growing and genetics. Drying and curing are the key places to bring out a plants natural flavors.
