Hey gang hope you all are doing well!
I wanted to ask if cardboard box drying is okay and if a small fan oscillating will be sufficient? Also how long to keep them in the box as such? Please see last pic for reference...
Thanks again!

Hey Growmie,
Yes, drying in a cardboard box is perfectly fine, and if you are using the small fan make sure it doesn't blow directly on the buds, they'll dry too fast. With this set up it should take about 10-14 days for it to completely dry and be ready for jars. Congrats on your Harvest Also!

Should be fine to do that. Mine usually takes about a week. I know they are done when the stems break instead of bend.

At the comment of cardboard stealing odour. Most buds will loose 75% of there odour which you get back in the curing process

Hi! Yes it's ok but in my experience i noticed that cardbox exchange/steal a little odor with the weed, especially when it's dried, and thats the risk to have a weed with a slight scent of cardbox. For personal weed, usually i use a 100% oak bedside table, It mainteins the same rH during the year ahahaha anyway, with a fan only to exchange air (like pc fans, comment below) Is perfect :)

air movement directly on buds, could make them dry too quick or loose trichomes mechanically, no direct air on buds, you can put small computer fan to extract air from, but oscillating could make more harm if directed on buds.
Have in mind.

Going on Vacation for 7 days, in just 10 days but three girls are in WEEK 9 of flower and still need another week. I've got options:a. Chop & hang the day I leave, ac dry in a tent for 7 days
b. A friend can water mid-week once
c. Water the day I leave but lights OFF for those 7 days
I prefer "c." for $ + safety (np running an ac for a dry tent but I'd like to cut the lights)
Any risks to this idea?
THANKS!Week 9

Ready to chop? Ambering trichs on a couple of colas but not on others...Does the Council of Wise Growers feel ready to call "chop" on my 86 day from germination Purple Chill Auto? Some colas have nice ambering (see close up of trichs) and others not. Sugar leaves haven't started dying. Last time I ran this pheno went 91 days (see diary).

Is there any effect of letting an auto strain in the dark before harvest, what 48h or so?Also wonder if I have to get the lights on after that, for a couple of hours, or so, and then cut them. I have read it's at this time plants produces more terpenes, is that right?

Drying seems too fast after chop (Growing and Drying in a Shed). 5 days too quick and how to slow it down?Thanks! My last 2 grows seem to dry too quickly.
I dry in a shed but rh and temps are decent- 70-75F & 50-60rh. Even tried letting 1 plant go 6 days instead of 5 before trimming and the jar never climbed over 54% after. Is this normal- should I & how could I slow the dry down?Week 4

Lower buds crumbled at harvestHi growmates, I tried flushing the last week, and the plant seemed to die, with buds beginning to dry. When I harvested, the lower buds just crumbled. The colas though were still tight. Do you think I should have kept giving nutrients to the end? Has anyone experienced this?

How close to harvest?This is my fourth grow and every time I'm doubting myself when I should chop her down.Can I get your opinions? All microscopic pics are on the buds and not the sugar leaves. To me it looks like I'm close, about a week? If I'm off a lot in my time can you explain why? Many thanks!
