Minor Mold/Powedry signs or dust?

I wait for a lot more amber than what you have showing. But that's just me.
They sure are getting pretty colors going on them.
They look alright other than the fuzz. But that happens. I would wash them with potassium bicarbonate/water, H2O2/water and plain water baths, in that order, when you harvest. It will help get rid of some of the fuzz and if there is any pm or other fungus hiding the potassium bicarbonate will kill it.
You could cut the buds that you believe are done enough and leave the rest for later. Or you can wait until they're all done and cut the whole plant. In the end its really up to you .
One thing I always repeat to myself and others is, it's easy to harvest too early and almost impossible to harvest too late.
What ever you decide to do, good luck friend.

you mean wash with potassium and also with h2o? both?
H2h will not do?

I heard that before and I always saying that to myself
"it's easy to harvest too early and almost impossible to harvest too late."

Is just that I don't have a lot of experience and first time with autos.. the time frame is completely different than feminize..
I am 99 days since seed! 14 weed, started yesterday week 15.

Thanks!

I will wait for few more amber on the lower buds.
I must take full plants (both) cause I want to dry them in the tent for best humidity and temperature control.

No crushers, have no idea, maybe from the microscope but I am very gentle with them

It was a thought, pm grows at 65%rh and about 70 degrees, my tent gets up to 90 and 80rh and no pm. I used to grow pm as main crop lol. My go to no fail pm crop. Since running higher humidity no pm issues, ever see pm in a greenhouse? I havent. Just thought ld share. They grow faster at 85 to 90 degrees under leds lmo only. Think its bc leds have no ir. Not sure!

If you have PM, I think that whitish film maybe onset. Don't waste time with home remedies. I used "Banish" fungicide...unlike other treatments that are more of a preventative, this shit kills it, and it's safe anytime during grow...it's a geranium oil extract. First use, I sprayed only twice, back in business.

Yes, that's what I mean. Potassium bicarbonate kills pm and bud rot on contact. It's not just some folk remedy. Once you cut the plant put the material into a wash of lukewarm water and Potassium bicarbonate. Move the material around, gently, in the solution. Then move it to a solution of h2o2 and do the same. Then rinse it in a water bath and hang it. Everything will be fine then.

I use potassium bicarbonate, with isopropyl alcohol (as a foliar spray) throughout the entire life cycle if the plant and I don't have trouble with pm and bud rot. You can mix it with spinosad and/or silica for an even better effect. You can even use it (sans spinosad) late into flowering.

And if you are still new to growing I would suggest not growing autos. Photos are way more forgiving.
O.P., you can harvest the plants you have, when you have too. At this point they will do the trick. Then grow some Photos and learn what the plants will teach you about themselves. Then ,after getting to know them better, if you want, go back to growing autos. But you will get bigger and better results with Photos.

Also, when you harvest, your tent can be used to hang the plants in, but it's not necessary. Just keep the drying area cool and at 60-65%rh. Then let them take their time to hang and dry slowly. If you have washed them you won't have any issues with post harvest pathogens. At least I don't. And you will have a nice smooth product in the end.

I am not sure where I can find this potassium bicarbonate without raising questions...

Also, how longer the dry process will be?
Usually it takes me 10-14 days to move them to curing

thanks again

Milk works too, watered down. But one treatment kills it dead. Lactic acid bacterium works too, feeding silica helps fight it off too.

The wash I recommend will help get rid of some of that fuzzy stuff that's stuck to your buds. And even when you don't have any pm or anything else it's a good idea because it will kill mold spores that could start growing while the buds are drying.

Potassium bicarbonate is cheap, available on Amazon and (in my experience) works better than baking soda. It's a substitute for baking soda for people on low sodium diets and is used in lots of omri listed products. So no need to worry about questions from nosey people.

Washing doesn't really extend the drying process. You wash the buds on the branches and hang them up to drip-dry.
What washing does is float or dissolve away any dirt, bugs or other crap that has gotten on your buds. And that leaves you with a much smoother smoke.
