Hey its all about learning and saying "I'm not gonna do that again"..

Don't take the negative comments to heart..We all make mistakes...Any grower that says they havent F'd up
a plant is full of Sh*t!

That said..use this run as an experience thing..You've had some hiccups and havent got the time to finish properly.

Next time make sure you have the tools to not only grow(ph meter etc).. but check maturity..Right now,
You're guessing finish time based on what you've read..not what you are seeing..wrong approach..

Good luck

No it's fine if they dry out in your tent/growroom whatever. You said you have a week before you take off. Cut her down and hang it back there to dry. Try to wait until its dry such that the stem snaps when you go to bend a branch. Bud off all your weed into brown paper bags (light and loose, not packed)
Your collaborator just has to keep an eye - and a nose - on your harvest.

I actually have 2 weeks before I leave. If you think that 7 days of drying time in a well ventilated area will do the job, I'm tempted to wait a few more days...

Again..
Don't go by what people say..

You relative humidity..temp etc will make a difference..People cant tell you..you have to test/see these things yourself

I have both humidifier and dehumidifier, I can both rise and lower the temperature just tell me what is the best environment for the buds to dry well an quickly and I will do my best!

Hi guys, having no time for a USB microscope here is what I can do.
Anyway I'm waiting until tomorrow evening for the big chop. This way I will have 10 full days of drying time. Maybe it will take less... surely I hope it won't take longer...
Zooming in I can say trichomes are at least cloudy with at least a 15-20% them which are browning...
After all it should be around the right time to chop

I'd chop ASAP..
As I thought, the plant is past maturity (which I suspected based on traditional Auto grow and finish times) and now THC is degrading..

Best of Luck

Not a big deal for me because I was looking for a late harvest anyway. I prefer the "couch stoned effect" when most of the trichomes are brown.
116g of wet final product...To be honest with all the problems she went through I'm impressed.
