Thoughts on time left..

So I'm on holiday in 2 weeks time... For 2 weeks. The trick will be getting this to a state where it can be left alone... I don't think it can do another month without some sort of disease setting in and I'd hate to come home to that.
My best option is to chop in 1 week and observe the drying for 1 week before going away but is that too soon? Or... Chop the tops and leave the lowers to continue for the time I'm away? It's in a fully automated DWC so I can leave it for long periods without needing to water ect.. Wwyd?

It's in week 6 (since pistles) of apparently a 6 to 8 week period as per seed packet.

Harvest the day before you go on holiday, hang in a open room some air exchange ok temps. Come back in two weeks to bud ready to smoke with full flavour and taste.

stay home for holiday? lol I wouldn't want to chop it that early after growing for so long...
