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.

How should I prep this freaky fan flower for smoking?
This plump lil flower growing on a fan leaf is getting picked off and smoked when I see the first amber trichs, should I put it directly in a small jar with a 2way humidity pack? Trichomes seem to be aging faster than on normal inflorescence, touch slower than the ones on fans.

Bud rot harvest?
Bud rot or normal purpling underneath? First grow and harvest and found some purple when cutting off the fan leaves before hanging to dry (going to dry trim). Anything I should be looking for in particular. I don't see any other signs of mold.

Harvest date?
A question for experienced growers, i was thinking to harvest in 2 weeks, but i'll be out of town that week. So, i have to chop them down next week or 3 weeks from now. Next week will be too early or 3 weeks will be too late? Thanks!

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 bought 9 square plastic 11l pots, plan is to let next plants grow more horizontal instead of vertical, to have a grow period of 5/6 weeks max, and use an combination of topping from the 3rd node, and LST (bending down and ponytail) to fill my 80x80cm. What else to be considered

How much longer?
Northern Lights Auto RQS D65 from seed. The leaves are drying out quick! not sure if I should leave it one more week or take it down today. I know the photos aren't the best quality but would appreciate the advice. I see no amber trichs, almost 100% milky.

Mold or spiders?
Is this mold? Is the whole harvest ruined or just the buds that show mold? This is the main cola on an untrained plant.

I want advice about drying/curing… I think it’s time to harvest?
I’m just about 9 weeks into flower now. Green Crack Auto, 15 weeks total so far. All these pics were taken today. I bought a grove bag after reading stuff on reddit… Is she ready? How & how long do I dry in tent before putting in the bag? Any other tips? Thanks in advance!!!

Mass drying in garage
Anyone have any recommendations for drying? I have 5 outdoor plants that are pretty large, probably upwards of 3-4lbs dry I’m thinking. I cannot dry in my house I have to dry in my garage. The temp is between 75-80 degrees during the day and 40%rh without any rain.

Harvesting 1 out of 2 plants sharing the same reservoir
I will need to harvest the purple much sooner than the widow. Two questions: 1) Can I dry the purple in my tent that the widow is still growing in, meaning it will not be drying in the dark? 2) Can I flush the purple with fresh water for a week or more without hurting the widow?

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...
