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.

Is my plant starting to flower? I have it on a 20/4 light cycle, I thought I would have to switch it to 12/12 in order for it to flower. Am I doing something wrong?

Air drying in shed
I am drying my harvest in my outside shed in the uk - am a little bit worried about moisture and lack of air movement. The shed has no power so cannot use a fan. I will be opening the door up and letting in air daily. What else can I do to prevent mold?

Buds too dry?
I dry in 26degrees Cel 55% humidity. After cutting down one plant, it took roughly 10 days for the stems to snap to trim up to jar. However, inside the jar now its sitting about 55% RH. And isnt getting a Stronger smell. Should i try rehydrate or just wait longer between burps?

One of the plants looks ready. I was told generally to add 1-2 weeks when you think its ready to harvest. But How should i proceed now? Flushing? drying out? when or should i even prune before cutting the plant down? What should my drying/hang space look like?

Watering and darkness before harvest
I've been giving them just water for 2 weeks but I only let them get about 10% runoff. I want to put them in 48hrs darkness but not if they've just been watered. Looking for opinions: flush to 80% runoff now and harvest on Wed or leave them in darkness and cut them down on Wed?

Harvest preferences - substrate/trim wet or dry
Just some brain picking! How do y'all like to harvest? How many of you leave your plant to dry in the substrate (if soil or Coco)? How many of you harvest it from wet substrate for longer drying time? I know it'll depend on environment differences, but v curious! Same q for trim

I'm worried that the larger fan leaves are taking too much light from the bud sites and slowing development? Is it too early for lollypopping (is that the right term!)? If you watch my video it gives a better look.

What’s the best dehydrator / drying method? (Same for curing)
What is the best dehydrator / method for drying bud? I have already put so much into these plants so I’m not afraid of spending more to make sure everything is perfect. I would also like to ask the same question about curing. Thanks! :)

I am about to harvest pretty soon... Are you a dry trim or wet trim type of grower? Why? Full trim? Partial? How many hours of darkness before chop? Any other advice for a first time harvester is appreciated! TIA!

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.
