That little shatter looking ball is just resin leaking from the leaf. The term for that is called gutation. This can happen in veg, in flower and I suppose after harvest. Really nothing to worry about. Just stick it in your pipe and smoke it 🤣🤙

Time to chop?
First grow 56 days from sprout, leaves starting to die and trichomes seem pretty white. Should I chop now or wait a bit longer?

Estimating wet bud weight from dry bud weight
The harvest report for the diary asks for wet bud weight, which I didn't measure. (I think it'd be hard to provide that number if you didn't wet trim, right?) So, what's a good conversion: using dry trim weight to estimate wet trim weight? I've got a screenshots of AI answers:

Are these to early to pick?
So number one is 100% ready to go, obviously for ease, I'd like to do the whole crop at once. So I just want to know if you guys think these pods are far enough along to dry? I mean the buds themselves not the tricks. Last 4 pics in week I commented them

I have 3 Gorilla Zkittlez at day 95. One is ready to chop, the other two are not quite there. I’m going on vacation for 7 days. Question: chop them early or let them remain unattended for a week? I usually water every 3-4 days, the plants haven’t gone 7 days without water. WYD?

Should I put harvest into jars early?
Should I put my harvest into jars insted of hanging? I harvested 2 days ago and my humidity right now is between 60-70% with fan and dehumidifier. I wonder if the buds would be better in jars with 50% humidity packet. I'm afraid they will mold hanging in the house. Rain all wk.

Harvest ready. Watered this morning. Wait an extra day?
My OG Kush are ready! Trichomes are all cloudy with a good little of amber. Pistils are >70% brown and she looks nice. I watered this morning and the pot is still feeling heavy. Should I chop tomorrow morning or give it an extra dry out day? Does it matter? Anything else?

14th day of dry. Small bit of offcut bud reading 58% in 1 ounch grove bag overnight.
14th day of dry. Temp/RH have been around 60/60, but not getting snap from stems. Did trim yesterday and took a good deal of dry leaves by simply pulling gently / running the scissors over them. Would you cut and jar at this point or leave until stems are brittle?

Is it normal for a mainlined plant to have a few colas stretch so hard? I reckon I only have another 5/6 inches of growth space above the highest cola and am starting to worry. I have swapped out the lights for veg lights today to try and slow it down...

Ideal Drying Conditions?
What's the best way to dry the bud to preserve as many terpenes as possible? What are the terps "enemies"? Is too much airflow a concern? Too high temps? How high is too high for the temperature?
