Such a cold week it was, and my biggest battle was just maintaining temp. These Melbourne winters really suck! Brief times where temps in my tent were over 21c but on average around 19c and at times dropping as low as 18c. Any lower than 17.5 my exhaust fan shuts off for a couple of minutes to help maintain the temp.
The plant is doing well all the same. Have the cold temps stunted her growth??? Well this I can't be sure of.
On a good note, another week down and still no fertiliser. She's showing no sign of any deficiency and super healthy. Very little LST this week, im pretty much happy with the canopy as it is.
I'm still another 4 weeks off from harvest, and I'm now hoping all the buds really chunk on up. Long and thin, short and fat or big tall and chunky I don't care. Buds size is irelevant when it gets enhaled ...i just want plenty of it!
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
