ok so this is the problem.... im growing in my closet in a rented house that im living in. the little box that lets you select the temp has broken so i need to landlord to pass by and replace it. the problem is that the box that powers the a/c is IN MY CLOSET!! so im thinking of chopping them down early due to no possible other option. my question is, are my plants good to go? or should i find another way of letting them sit a bit longer? right now the flowers have pistils coving about a little more than 50%. there are a few pistils that are still looooong and milky, what i mean is that they havent started to curl or even turn orange all the way. i usually chop them at around 75% or so. im just a bit worried because ive put a lot of effort into this grow due to complications with the strain and i would hate to ruin it by harvesting early. i can post some pics when i get home if thatll help. i know chopping early can effect the type of high you get but 50% is way to early if you ask me. all the other "hairs" (pistils) are curled and a nice brown/orange color. also, do you guys think it might not be maturing due to the temp? it tends to drop around 63-65 degrees... my HPS light keeps the temp nice but idk maybe this could be the problem ?

A new thermostat will only cost you about 15 or 20$ at Home Depot, replace it yourself and leave your Landlord out of it! Finish your grow as you see fit.

yes thats what i was going to do but this dude has this like, high tech system thats touch screen and shit... when i pull it out from the wall its like nothing ive ever seen before and im a pretty handy guy. this is disappointing. i would move them but i dont have another spot that will hold the smell. the carbon filter is the only thing saving me right now. so it'll smell pretty crazy up in here if i move them away from the filter. the filter was set up in a fixed location so i cant really move it without taking it apart. i usually go for a couchlock high when i grow so cropping now is really early for me. i guess i will have to wait a few more weeks before calling this dude to fix this thing. will the temp upset my ladies??? its about 65 degrees maybe colder lol.
