If you want to let it go longer and the weather isn't cooperating then put a tent over it at night.
Unless you were using diatomaceous earth earlier for pest control it looks like you may have powdery mildew starting. I would address that issue asap.

Thanks folks, yes forgot to add, using DE.

That's a bit of a relief!

Agree, quite leafy fluffy, on have it to compare with OG Kush from my last go, that was more dense.

Yeah been getting ready for the chop for what's seems like ages and envisage a tidy operation with piles of graded leaf, sugar and buds. What a flippin hobby, tooken over me body and mind. Havent been so dedicated and diligent over anything.


Lol just a bit para, seem to be constantly picking off chewed at, and brown curling off leaves.

Have picked off smaller branches that looked like they were getting eaten up or deteriorating and I must say, CBD heavy is a different high! Stay awake alert sorta buzz. Creeps up on ya!!! (Glad I got an auto of standard on the go too.)

Often consider a tent, it wont make a nice warm environment for critters n crawlers will it?

Indebted

As to the tent, I believe you mean to provide shelter from the elements. A few bugs might find their way in. And there's always going to be bugs on and around them outdoors too. The tent or mini greenhouse is there to help protect your plants from the weather and can be removed when that threat has passed.

At this point, rain and cold weather are just as bad as the bugs. Even more so when combined with things the bugs are doing on and in the plants. Like bore worms eating and defecating inside of the buds and stalks. Bud rot fungus loves bore worms poo.

I have used makeshift tents to save plants from frost and cold rains many times. I have even helped keep temperature up inside of them with cans of sterno. It really just depends on how far you want to take things. I used to do the tent thing when needed on the fly. After years of doing it that way i just decided to build a hoop house and make everything simpler. Bugs still get in sometimes but are easier to deal with in a more controlled environment. And there's no rain or snow that gets to fall on them either. Ther is definitely a lot of plusses to covering plants this time of year.
Good luck friend!

Yeah it looks good but I agree that you should leave it longer at least a few weeks if you can but I imagine, depending where you live, that won’t be feasible unless you can add heat/shelter. Either way, she should smoke all right anyway at this point but I would leave longer.

I hope you have heard the term powdery mildew before because that first picture is riddled with it, it looks like you may have noticed and are wiping the leaves though, personally I wouldnt be smoking that

How do you know it's PM? .. it could be DE.. neither are good to smoke but hopefully it's PM on leaves only..not the Flowers.
