Good to know man much thanks. @BeefWellingtons,I sure do appreciate your input. She is almost finished.

Well you have good cold temps that are idea for drying. This last two harvests I only trimmed off fan leaves, leaving the others on and hung them up in complete darkness with wind movement (but not direct fan on them). After 3 days or so I put them still on stalks into paper bags for another 3 or 4 days. I did this as its warm here and I wanted to slow the process, however with your cold temps you can probably get away with doing the whole thing just hanging in a dark place. Keep an eye on the humidity and keep checking for bud rot every day. After, trim up (weigh it and update your dry weight) and put into mason jars in the dark. Pull them out every day and open the jar tops (called burping the jars), for 15 min. After 1 week of that maybe add some humidity packs at 58 if planning to smoke in next 2-3 months or 62 if you want to store for longer periods. If they smell like hay, pull them out and put all the buds on cardboard in the dark for an hour of so, then back in the jars, the aromas will come out

@BeefWellingtons,see below :grimacing:

Correct 60-85f for growing and maintaining. During the later flowering stages the cooler temps at night can get better resin coverage quantity and quality. Also, it gives a higher terpene content and a more flavorful and aromatic flower. Plus I’m also reading some varieties also have color changes akin to fall foliage. The soil keeps a steady temp so roots are good, it has peaked my interest and I’ve come this far and all the conditions say why not. ? @BeefWellingtons

@Deadhead, well not really the same since Jerry Garcia died in 1995 imo. On that note, I have heard of a grower on here using cold morning method to slow down growth, and keep the plants smaller/shorther. So the science is like this, you can grow in a range of 60-85f (15-30c), however the article says that at 68f (20c) the sugars that the plant needs slow down and have a harder time reaching their destination. Not what you want if you are trying to fatten up your colas. But I hear you on wanting to go natural ;)

Well I have to point out, 54f is too cold for cannabis. Do her a solid and go buy a small ceramic heater and put it in there with her to warm her up. It costs like 11 bucks and she will thank you for it. If you do more grows where it's cold, you can get it hooked up to a thermostat control so it goes on if it's under x degrees, and goes off if it reaches y degrees. Either way, good luck on your grow (I have personally seen 14 dead shows, and love your name)

@BeefWellingtons, thanks bro. Love their music but hate crowds so I’ve never been. I only hear about what I’m missing ha ha. I’ve been watching her close on the temps 14.4/57.9. From what I can gather, while controversial, there is evidence that chilly temps can be quite good for the plant and building up good buds. Nothing about her indicates cold stress for better than a week. I’m gonna roll with it as it mimics outdoor climates and I would like to do an outdoor grow one day and o have heaters on standby jic. :grimacing:

@Deadhead, sounds great and clearly it works, even your lamp to plant distance is good... now is a game of patience, we're watching a plant grow

@CRiSPrGrow, she gets 10 high intensity fluorescent 4’ tubes and 3 smaller watt leds? It’s what I got put together for nothing. I def will upgrade at some point and rebuild the greenhouse too
