What does this much red indicate?

Growing at those temps with leds and your yields are going to suffer. Lowering the light aswell. Are you cooling that space with AC? Then stop it, at least at night.
At high intensity led we usually try to keep above 79F lights on. One way of keeping heat in the tent is extracting from the bottom.

Shoot, yeah, there's absolutely no way that's happening that I can imagine without running a space heater which I went back & forth thinking about for a while but the costs will be significant and I'm not really a fan of more unattended things that could start a fire or so on.. In the summer time we have to turn the AC on when it gets hot in the house and in the Canadian wintertime it's naturally cool where my tents are because it's an unfinished basement - just a tough battle all around unless I want to invest in heating a space year-round

I appreciate the insight, I guess in a nutshell, I am never going to have a proper grow due to my temps

Could throw some cement bricks in there...google thermal mass

You could also try a few low watts incandescent bulbs during lights on but be very carefull about the watts, it can easily cause stretch. Do not despair, there are always ways of overcoming and this is the delight of growing; overcoming and finding your own solution.

In the Fall, where I'm at Maple leaves turn red, orange and yellow cause the chlorophyll
in the leaves breakdown and the anthocyanins and carotenoids which take longer to
breakdown show their colors.

The colors are changing and the leaves are falling here too. The Aspens are pretty with their colors changing now but they're gonna be bare branches in a few week. I love Colorado but I wish it was more green.

Guanella Pass offers spectacular fall colors as aspens change in the mountains - Clear Creek Courant

Colorful leaves of the mountain aspens draw thousands of people from around the world and across the country to Colorado to witness nature in its splendor, and Guanella Pass in Georgetown is its epitome, according to visitors.

Our Animal Cake only ever fades to black, never purple or yellows. Its always super dark green.

Beautiful plant, I wouldn't change anything.

Plant looks delicious…
If night temps are an issue for you (as they were for me) I recommend running the lights at night instead of the day- it’s good in summer too for the opposite reasons
a small tubular greenhouse heater (30-50w) helps too

Thank you so much guys, sincerely appreciate it, I can't wait to try this stuff out once it's ready in 2 weeks!

I do exactly that already unfortunately, my schedule is 7pm-7am lights on.. also because where I live in Canada we are on variable power pricing throughout the day.. peak usage starts right around when my lights go off to try and maximize my savings

Was really trying not to run any unattended heater of any kind but maybe I'll have to consider it

Thanks again for the kind words!

I think your temps are fine. I would not run 79+. High heat equals hay. As does high RH.

The color is most likely genetics coming from the Congolese. Red Congo plants are common.

I'm betting killer smoke...waiting to hear smoke report

That's a huge relief to hear!! I kinda already arrived at a similar conclusion and just didn't want to be dismissive to the advice above, but I have no intention of trying to accommodate the temperatures at 79+, that's just not happening due to mother nature and ambient temperature as a whole, and sounds like a fire hazard as well since the thing would be struggling to run 24/7 at those temps.. Thank you again for the kind words, it's a big relief to hear these things from the pros on the forum!!

Cheers, as always!!

How'd this girl end up smoke wise?

 

[ice minus]

HELLO Brother Nature!! Huge thanks for remembering me, and this thread!
The buds ended up small and I'd say it was a hard lesson learned as I should've absolutely run this thing longer.. and trusted my gut instinct. I got scared thinking if I left it too long it could potentially hermie or something.. newbie jitters I guess really

Smoked well, and it smelled AMAZING when drying, but definitely being our own harshest critic (always the way, right?!) clearly can tell it wasn't anywhere near perfect

On the plus side, I have a baby coming up as we speak and will be grown out again immediately just because the colors and terps absolutely deserve an immediate re-try!!

I also have a miniature bonsai-sized Mother for it that's throwing out new shoots faster than I can grow them!

Thanks again for thinking of us!! I will report back!! Have a wonderful night!!

Bottom left, green container, is my new baby of it that will be grown out again!
Other 3 in this basket were rescued from the brink of absolute death and are looking huge and way better than the original.. As seen here:

Do you have any tricks to keep your cuttings green and healthy?

Good evening ICMAG! Novice grower here Took some cuts off a Cotton Candy Mom I haven't grown out yet, but is giving off insane Terps just on leaves and stems, in simple Canna coco plugs. Took like 7-10 days or so, nice roots shooting out of the plug I just moved them into some lightly...
