By all means, leave that filtration fan on. It will supply the light air circulation needed to slowly dry out your buds. As well as reducing chance of molding and keeping the smell away.

why use fans with drying process?
hello, i see that many use fans while the plant is drying and was wondering why that was, is it just to slow the drying process if the room is hot or does it improve the quality or? thanks

Cutting down for harvest
I'm right on the verge of my first harvest and there seems to be several approaches to cutting down the plants. Should I cut and hang the entire plant or cut and hang individual branches?

Darkness before harvest?
So is there really any benefit to give a long period of darkness before harvest? Once again, I'm on the fence with this...

Am I within the chop window?
Currently on day 75 of this meph sour stomper. I feel like today is chop day, am I right ? I see mostly cloudy/amber on the calyxes and the leaves are discoloring - despite me not stopping the feed - which seems to indicate she's grabbing all the food she can and near done.

I know breeders timeline for seeds is unrealistic, but this plant has gone two weeks past expections for seed. Not that I'm rushing it, but does she look ready? I'm only curious so I can have room in my tent for the next two for my perpetual setup. Thanks in advance! 😊

If I top the lower nodes, can I get the plant to fill out more? I have improved the set up and the light seems better than what I had earlier. Pruned the lower branches already. I have a grow tent ordered and will be able to fully enclose the plants in a few days. thanks.

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.

Is my plant stretched? Is it because I was away for two weeks and wasn't able to keep her in direct sunlight more? She was getting 5.5 hours direct sunlight for those two weeks but when I'm home I can get 9.5 hours direct sun. Is there anything I can do? Are my nutrients right?

What to do with smaller flowers during drying vs larger colas? And how do you get large colas in jars? I assume I have to trim them too smaller size right?
Ok so drying on day 3/4 now and still too moist i can tell. But my rhetorical question is obviously the smaller buds will dry faster than the bigger and main colas right? Do I need to start jaring the smaller flowers then work to the bigger ones? Or all at once? Also, i assume...
