Running out of time. What do you think?

I am in Northern Michigan and should be done by all means. Got a late start and flowering didn't start until end of August/early September. Took some precautions installing an electric heat wire and built a frame around it to cover at night and on nasty rainy days. We were down to 28 degrees before September 10th! That is not normal. We have had great weather the last few weeks. Now its back to the cool weather. Fighting the frost has been no problem. The heat wire keeps things in the mid to upper 60's when it gets that cold. My big worry now is keeping the mold away. I treated with neem oil up until about two weeks ago. Been using it for a couple of months now.

BTW It is a Nirvana White Widow feminized. Started from seed in early June. She stands just over 5 1/2 feet tall. Not very bushy but I got some good nugs growing on her. I had a few other plants that were all males! So I have been doing everything possible to keep my only plant alive until harvest.

How close does she look? The trichomes on the main cola have just turned cloudy. My next opportunity to chop will be this weekend. I am trying to push it until the end of the month. Hoping it will fatten up before I chop.

The fan was a work in progress when I took the pictures. I fixed the exposed wires. I was using the fan to keep the air moving around when it is covered at night. I use a tent canopy that use to cover the roof of my tent before heavy rain destroyed it.

give her as long as you can man...if the trichomes on the main cola just started turning cloudy try to get at least another week if not two if you can...

I just checked the weather outlook.



What affect do you thinking keeping the cover on for the rest of the week will have? The cover is green and light tan. Plenty of light gets through. So it is not sitting in darkness. The tan part is on top and the South facing side. The green blocks light. Not great lighting conditions but its got to be better than a bunch of rain and cold. Glad I put that fan in there this weekend.

I think your issue may be trapping the moisture in with the plant and increasing you chance of bud rot... I'd be more worried about mold than light at this point. Good luck!

uhhhh well all i can say is try to keep the temps up as much as possible and hope not to get bud rot

i just cut one farther than yours and i was 2 weeks early--its rainy for days and 80s and now 35 at night had a moldy spot starting in bud---i still got 3 in the woods--i must say i was dissapointed in looseness of the buds--hope i can get the others right-

Lots of rain until the weekend. It has been covered since Sunday night with the small fan running. I just got the wife to go out and open it up a little at the bottom on one side. Let some fresh air get in. Going down into the 30's tonight and 100% chance of rain for the next two days. Hopefully enough air is getting in to keep the mold away. Will find out Friday when I can check it. Keeping my fingers crossed. If I make it through this week without major mold I should be able to get to the end of the month.

Since there's juice to run the fan, why not throw a little heater in the tent at night?
