Just want to chime in. This looks great dude. Good call to hang whole plant. Remove the large fan leaves though for the hang. Dry trimming is the best way and is actually easier when I thought wet would be, it is not. Your bud will take longer to dry which is needed. You need to shoot for 10-14 days of drying. Move your humidity after 3 or 4 days from 50/55 up to 60 area. Keep filter sucking, but don't blow your fans at the plants hanging. You will be fine. Don't hope to trim by next weekend because it may be to early. I get why it would be good timing but don't rush a thing here. Once you trim, go right into GROVE BAGS made for curing. Otherwise, use jars with NO boveda packets to start. Get a 5 pack of cheap hydro meters that fit in your jar. If they are up in the 60+ range you won't need packets for a few weeks. Just burp the jars twice a day to relieve the moisture and stale air. Then after the meters reach 59% or less I would introduce the packets. (Don't judge the hydro meters until about 12-24 hours after putting the bud in so they can moisten up and then give you an accurate reading) it takes just alil time for the moisture to return and it usually will unless you have over dried the product. Make best judgement. Outside of buds will become crisp, branches may start to snap not bend but when u squeeze the bud u may just slightly still feel a low % of moisture is within the bud, this is perfect time to trim. Good luck, I'm actually about to order sour apple auto. I love this strain but have several photos lined up and need a few autos to fill in. This seems like it's doing well enough to include in my garden. Keep it up I'll stay tuned to watch your updates. Be patient and your bud will be what you want it to be. 👍👍
