Firewood. Nows there's a haunting word for memories, don't envy you the task, but I will say nothing beats the comfort of a real fire. We heat with gas, and the bills for the heat in the new house is brutal.
I'm feeling a bit better, still fighting the flu bug. Mrs Rex decided it looked fun and caught it. So it's been a pretty quiet time for us. And yes, covid PCR test was done last week, came back negative.I hope you and the wife are doing well.
Stay safe

Thanks for the warm wishes brother, I'll PM you tomorrow (or soon) to pick your brain on the sump project. And take you up on the kind offer when the install day arrives (if everyone is feeling better- you really don't want this bug)
Oh man, your gonna be smoking the primo stuff once your harvest is dried and cured!Thank you guys that helps a lot. Hopefully I will taking your advice soon
Happy Growing.
Do you have a dry/cure plan in place? I think we discussed it, but I wanna make sure it goes smooth for ya.
I hope you (and your wife) start feeling better soon, Rex!
At that point I’d defol off the worst ones and especially if there is some bigger ones shading/covering bud sites.
And I do agree, give them at least one more week. Judging by the trichomes.
I bet you could gain easily +15% weight in that week.
Photos ripen slower than autos (generally ofc..) and I’d aim for about 30-40% amber ones before the chop.
Looks super, happy growing!

Thank you @Bill284 and @Rexer for your help yesterday. Sorry I went quiet, I got my covid booster Tuesday night and started fading fast yesterday afternoon. I am feeling much better today, though.
Happy Growing.
I am looking forward to it. I am going to dry multiple ways then cure using Grove bags. See this post for my plan. I also plan on making hash with the trimmings and freeze drying that as well
Thanks @Verbalist that is pretty much what I have done up to this point as far as removing any leaves. I will give them all another week at least.

I got shingles the night I got my second shot.
That was rough, I had no idea what it was until it was too late.
Try packing a whole house by yourself with one arm.
Hope your harvest turns out perfect
Can't wait to see nug of the month.
Stay safe

Date: 1/2/22 - Day 73 of flower
Strains - 420 Hindu Kush and White Widow - All fem and photo.
Light setting and height - 400w LED Set at 100% @ 12 inches
Lux - 65000
Medium - DWC with Hydroton in 6" netpot in 5gal bucket
Nutrients - AN pH Perfect 3part
Water - Carbon-filtered well water (100ppm)
Grow space - 48x48x80 tent in basement
Extraction - 6" Variable Speed Extraction fan
It looks like we are finishing up here. I see mostly orange/red pistils and even Lorraine is getting a lot darker. I believe the tricomes are showing the same. I tried to get shots from as many different buds as possible. Today I plan on flushing Alice, Demeter, and Kini. All three will have nothing but pHed water until Wednesday when they go into their final night. I plan on harvesting them on Friday after 36 hours of dark & drought. I will let Lorraine stay in the tent a bit more to finish up. I know flushing is a bit controversial, but I decided that the possible upsides outweigh any downsides at this point.
@Bill284 and @Rexer thanks again for all of your help. If you could please review the pictures below and let me know if you think these ladies are ready I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks to all who have helped and supported me on my first grow. Hope everyone has a very happy 2022 filled with bountiful harvests!

In the group shot it looks like white pistols.
When I zoom it might just be so much crystal it just looks white.
So no white pistols, she is finished building for you.
Tric's great mix of colors and fek tons of them.
Shut out your lights and get out the sheers.
I agree with Mr @Rexer Chop away.

Chop chop chop. Looks good for my reference. Some might like a bit longer.
Considering it's your first grow. Chop em all, you'll have a nice variety of stages.
which will help even more in deciding next grow, of which mix of cloudy/amber you liked most.

Well, so much for plans. Winter storm hit yesterday morning and knocked out power. Possibly for days. Could hear trees snapping all morning.
I had enough gas to run the generator for a while, but had to shut down at 6pm. Humidity started climbing right away. What to do? We took all the girls out of the tent, spread them out, then stripped as many fan leaves as possible. By flashlight. Three hours later and the plants can breathe a bit.
Finished the night with some nice finger hash
Still no power. Trying to shovel out to get gas today. Plants will stay dark and dry today and will harvest tomorrow either way. Wish me luck!

Those poor trees are going to take a beating.
What about heat and your pipes?
How far do you have to go to find gas?
Stay safe
Bill
Yes!! If your loosing heat in the house, keep the water flowing through the taps (not full blast). A gentle, constant flow can help reduce chances of a burst pipe.
