1 1/2 days wont make a diff m8, if its ready its ready, if its not its not, take the plant out the room and check trichs again without the hps glaring as it can often make trichs look amber, if thay are at least cloudy u gd too go but u want nearly all cloudy,, there will always be a few clear in there, but dont cut if maj clear

you will learn whether or not to cut from the stem when you hang dry from experience, the first nugget you picked is so small you would want that one still on stem so it slows the dry a bit. I was cutting and trimming good and hanging but started cutting the entire plant and giving it a light trim and hanging the entire plant, this slows the drying but test for yourself. Cure no matter which way you dry but that baby looks nice and stout. good luck man even the lil nugg was showing some trichs so those main colas should be some good smoke by the looks of them. Show us some pics after you harvest. When I hang the entire plant its very easy when dried to cut the popcorn nuggs right from the stems and then I sometimes need to cut and hang the main cola a few more days. YOurs looks like not much stem but thick so it will have lots of moisture in them. ALso as suggested earlier if they are ever too dry dont wet a paper towel and add to the jar just get some big stem pieces and allow it to pull moisture from stems so its all natural. Normally there is enough moisture in the center stem in the bud to remoisten the outer bud

1 days worth of flush wont do shit ne ways bud. so its your call, either flush for a week to get a nicer taste,, or cut now without flush , i have had to do that before now and it still tasted sweet,
well i have flushed it every 2 days for the last 1 1/2 weeks..and iam thinking about watering it tonight and then picking it in the morning,only thing is i cant pick it in the dark,but that dont concern me

you should wait its pretty small still..... let the calyx almost consume its pistils. u wanna get the most out of the cfls... remember there gonna shrink at least double when u dry.

Those plants aren't even done bro. Theres still white hairs/pistils growing in those pics. And the finished bud has long red hairs.. they should mostly recede into the buds when they are actually done. Ive made the same mistake. Also you must have dried them in low % humidity. drying room should be about 50% humidity with good ventilation. Fans shouldnt blow directly on buds drying.
