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.

Spongy bud when drying
First time grower, pulled a bud off 1 week before harvest to see if my temp humidity were ok to dry the rest of the plant. Been kept at 70f 60rh and after a day it’s become a spongy ball...Is this normal or how do I stop it next time?

Can I dry my plant for 30 days?
I'm about to harvest my plant, and I'm going on vacation for 30 days. Is it ok to dry for 30 days? I'm planning to hang the entire plant, in an environment at 20°C and 60% humidity, with no fans. What should I do before chopping down the plant to make sure it will dry ok?

Best way to cure your harvest? Any tips or best practices would handy. I know I need mason jars and humidity packs and a dark place. I read I should leave the plant alive but in total darkness for 3 days before I harvest? I am so confused, but I know curing is very important.

Ready to chop- I want to be around to burp and cure- but no amber
I am ready to chop. My plants trichomes are mostly cloudy- so now it's just a waiting game. I need to chop soon- because I have a lot going on this summer. What happens if I do not wait for the amber to show? Big mistake?

Hey guys, I have a question about drying. Where I live the temp right now are pretty hot and the only place I can dry in is my grow tent(50x50x160cm)
10 days from harvest.I will dry with a temp of 23/24C and 60/62%Rh. Unfortunately buying an ac unit is out of my budget at the moment. I'm planning to hang my plant whole to maximize the time of drying and compensate the hot temp. Will this allow me to dry my plant in a good way?
