I'd wait a bit, they will probably keep putting on mass, but you need to get a good look at the Trics to see whats going on.

Looks like you have at least a week, but it could be as many as 4 or 5. You really need to go by the trichomes. Get a cheap jeweler's loupe or something. You want between 10-50% amber trichomes. The more, the stronger the effect. Cheers!

Weed smells dry like regular cut grass. What to do?
I harvested parts of my laughing buddha and I've dried it for a few days now and the thing is, it smells like regular cut grass. When I touch it it smells like it's supposed to but when I open the jar it smells only like cut grass. Other plants have their unique smell tho. Help

How should I harvest?
So we are 2 weeks out from harvest, but I’m wondering would it be more efficient to defoliate fan leaves and hang the plant upside down, or to cut it into multiple sections? At week 22 I believe in our diary we have more pictures.

HAY SMELL
Buds smelling a bit like hay/wet grass! what's weird is that the fat main tops are "crispy" and smell sweet and fruity but the smaller buds are still wet and smell like hay. On day 13 of drying 60%rh 72°F. The bigger stems are starting to snap but the smaller ones only bend??

Drying Techniques, Which One?...
I have a question on drying, what are your opinions? 1)drying the whole plant fan leaves & all 2) drying the whole plant with only fan leaves removed 3) wet trim, cutting each branch off separately & then hang drying I'm looking for best quality flower not the fastest.

What would you advise I do with my harvest/dry/cure?
I got 2 weeks untill I am away for 2 weeks. Should I start flushing now and harvest it next week so she can start curing while I am away for 2 weeks I have no one to mind it or help me out so she will be unattended for 2 weeks and I don't want to fuck up my buds.

What do you think?
Already dried and cured. So what do you think about the end result? Specially because I let it grow in flowering stage about 1-2 weeks longer than it should and I still think it could have been a bit longer.

Chop chop, or not?
I feel like I can chop her down already. Bud is dense as rocks, the hairs got quite brown, and curled and the trichomes are getting milky. Don’t want couch lock weed, so what you guys think?

Ready for the chop? Day 59 of flowering
Does it still need more time? Hairs look 75-90%(depending on what cola you look at) orange and trichs look about right. Not sure if I'm seeing new pistols or their just kinda folding inwards. My preference is to harvest it for a nice balanced effect. Just a little couch lock.
