Your plant looks good and fairly close. You will notice the pistils (the hairs) will turn dark. Some say to pull the plant when 80% of the pistils turn dark. But, a much more accurate way to gauge the doneness of a plant is to look at the trichomes. The itty bitty mushroom shaped glands all over the bud and sugar leaves. These glands start clear, then they turn couldy and finally they usually darken. I had a strain that didnt darken, just went cloudy. I had to use the darkened pistil method. Some pull it as soon as they start to turn. I like a heavier effect so when they gets to about 10, to 15% dark, i feel its time. Get yourelf a nice magnifying lens, or loupe, (bausch and laume (spelling?) Makes a nice loupe. This will help with looking at the glands. Im sure others will pipe up about this subject. GrowWeedEasy.com has a pretty good explanation of this process

Tell me about your room, lights and all that.
The cure is huge. Buy a cheap ass hygrometer or 2. You can get them for a song at Cigar International. Them youll need some mason jars.
Take the leaves off of the buds, you can keep the sugar leaves to use the trichomes. I dont. Dry your buds slow. When the small stems start snapping with a little "crack" your done. Clean the buds up (remainder of leaves, stems, the shit you don't need). Then pop them in the jars. The hygrometer will tell you the amount of water left in the plant. You want to keep it in between 50 and 60% percent. If the humidity is higher, lay them out for an hour or so then back to the jars. WATCH YOU HUMIDITY!
Now that your humidity is right, it just takes time. Be sure to open your jars every day for the first couple of weeks. The refreshed air helps the process. If your buds cling together they are probably too wet still, but not always.
The buds on my last grow not only stuck together, some stuck to the jar. Humidity was 55%
So now you have been burping your jars for a couple weeks. Your cure should be showing. They should smell stronger, and when they are smoked it will be much more mellow, taste better. The chlorophyll has broken down, and now your rockin The cure will keep going for a few months, some say much longer. After a month you won't want to give it out anymore. This process is very important. As important as proper growing in my opinion. This makes the difference between bud and crazy good bud.
In the jar you will see a white piece of paper. This thing keeps the humidity in the jar at a certain %. You can get these the at cigar international. The two major brands are Inegra and Boveda. I hope this helps

So I saw the video of the Seacan... I assume that's you. Pretty cool. What program did you draw that in? I use Solidworks, i bought a seat in 2012 and now do product development. Here are some examples.
I also build prototypes, I'm a third generation Plastic Injection Mold Maker an know quite a bit about sheet fed thermoforming (large format) and continuous fed (packaging) if you have questions about all that, feel free to ask. Im much better at that stuff then this.

Hey nope that's not me, maybe someone else with a similar name. I am Dankinovations.com and dankinovations on Instagram, but I really like the work you do. I will defiantly be asking you some questions soon, I have some ideas that will need to be blueprinted first when I get time.
