Cold night time temps have really set in this week. It's been as cold as 5c (41F) in my garden shed where I'm growing but have managed to keep tent temperatures, lights om between 19 - 25 (66 -77 F) lights off during the day between 19 & 20c. Things really got bushy this week as I contunued LST which was started at the end of week 3. So much new growth which I'm sure will end up turning into tasty buds. Considering the conditions I'm really happy with this grow. No fertilizer has been used and I'm planning keep feet free with the entire grow as I've gone with water only living organics soil which I'm hoping will bring the results I'm after and is hassle free.

Both Tube heaters have been hard at work keeping the grow environment happy...I wish I could get just a little more heat but when it's this cold it's impossible. Moving the tent to any other location is also impossible.
Please comment on what u think as this is the first indoor grow In done.
Also, apologies for the purple haze in the pics. I'm taking these late at night while the lights are on. I don't want to switch off lights, wait for them to cool b4 switching back on for a few pics. The plant I can say for sure is a healthy green.
It's winter here and been a real cold one and I'm growing in a outdoor tin shed. Will dry in the same. There are 3 warmer days expected this week around 18c (65f)., Should I harvest early by up to 5 days or chance drying in at temps under 10c?. Will I get moldy buds?
Harvest and take extra precautions during the dry to ensure you dont get any mold. Dont stack your colas so they lay on top of each other, remove some fan leaves when you hang it to reduce humidity, and have some air exchange. I suggest checking on the plant as it hangs a couple times each day and rotate the branches to stop and wet spots. Good luck and happy growing!🍀👍
Your LST is a work of art! If you won't have any nute issues until end of harvest that type of soil is the shit and I want it too. I wonder where I could get it around here (EU)
@Vanalle, not sure if you can get the same soil in EU but sure you can find something similar. Not only does it require no fertiliser, but also no PH balancing as the soil itself balances everything out. Here's some links below anyhow if your interested in checking it out.

@Vanalle, hahahaha...well that was the case until week 4. My damn wife used my computer and saw my internet history and stumbled apon my grow diary. OMG..the plant nearly got a dose of weed killer but with some sweet talking it will live to see harvest. Let's just hope I live to see harvest as well 😂
By all means, harvest. You can lose all the harvest if not to mold, then to cold. I would not be surprised if you already have rot in some buds already.
OMG...I have just realised after spending so much time taking pics and updating, my diary pics for most weeks are missing. Newbie error I think when adding new weeks...Never mind. Plant is nearly there....I keep saying just a few more days to go...And a few days later I say the same thing again.
Bring it on...I sooo need this bud
