leaving on business trip:harvest earlier or wait?

Hello majklsoft, for me there would be 2 options because you still got 2 weeks. The first one is to harvest 10 days before you leave and trim the buds wet so they dry a bit faster and put in the curing jars with humidity bags the day before you leave. The second option is to harvest 10 days before you leave and put the fresh buds inside the freezer for 2 days and make bubble hash after these 2 days. Then let the bubble hash dry for one week on a cold dark place with airflow and low humidity and after this week put everything what you do not want to smoke immediately in the freezer to keep the quality from the hash. You can keep it for a very long time like this and you can also press live rosin from this hash in small batches if you like!

You're in the harvest zone and 12 days is too long time to leave it alone. I'd harvest it before leaving. Enjoy the harvest :)

Salut à toi, elle est belle ta plante. J me fit aux thrichlom pour couper. Pour ma part j'attendrai le dernier jours pour couper , comme ça tu pars est quand tu reviens tu la nettoi et pourra l'apprécier tranquillement 🌞🌱

From the pics, she looks pretty far along and also pretty stressed the fading and crispy top leaves say she’s at the point where waiting is starting to trade quality for risk. I wouldn’t want fresh material drying unattended for 12 days while I’m away. Between the two options, I’d lean toward finishing before the trip rather than pushing it and leaving the dry unsupervised. A little early is usually better than coming back to over dry or mold problem 👊👍

"Im leaving home at D94" that's 17 days from today... it'll be ripe before you leave. If temp and rh are where they need to be it'll take 10-14 days to dry. You can only guess at this point.. .you'll have to see how the timing plays out.. will it dry before you get back? Can you have someone do some simple tasks like refill a humidifier or place them in jars? letting it ripen an extra day or two or a couple days fewer is no big deal, so do what is best given the time constraints when you actually know it's time to harvest. the answer will take care of itself.

DO WHAT WORKS BEST FOR YOU ENJOY!!!!!

She is ready.

I agree with you, trichomes are clear and cloudy, there’s not much milky and amber… Give them another 14 days to get some more milky and amber trichomes.

You obviously have two options here and the best option in my opinion would be heavily weighted on how good your drying technique is. If you have a hands on drying technique and need to consistently monitor the dry process then cut NOW! You should still have adequate time to dry before you leave. If you have a solid dry technique that you know for a fact works and is pretty hands off. Then you can wait till your trichomes are perfect to your liking. I would say it might be best if you choose this route to have someone check on it. But if you are confident you can hold adequate humidity in your drying area then I think your best bet is to cut down right before you leave. Either way, nice plant!

saluer. voici mon avis sur cella et pourquoi .​Option A: Récolter maintenant (J77-J80) — Déconseillé ​Si tu récoltes aujourd'hui, tu vas avoir un effet très "high" cérébral et un peu anxieux car la plante n'est pas finie. Surtout, tu auras fini le séchage avant ton départ, mais tu ne seras pas là pour surveiller le début du curing (mise en bocaux), ce qui est risqué pour les moisissures. Option B : Attendre J94 et faire sécher pendant ton absence — Ma recommandation ​C'est la stratégie la plus sage pour la qualité finale. ​Maturité : À J94, tu seras pile dans la fenêtre de récolte du sélectionneur (J80-90) plus quelques jours de marge. Les trichomes seront parfaits, avec un environnement 10-20% d'ambrés. ​Lesséchage passif : Si tu coupes la plante entière (sans séparer les branches) et que tu la pends la tête bas dans ta boîte (ventilateur éteint, juste l'extracteur au minimum), le séchage prendra environ 10 à 12 jours. ​The timing : You reviendras pile au moment où les branches commencent à "craquer", prêtes à mettre en bocaux. C'est idéal. ​Pourquoi ses feuilles sont sèches? ​Sur l'image 16, on voit bien que la plante arrive au bout de sa vie. Elle puise tout ce qu'elle peut pour les têtes. C'est une sénescence normale. Ne vous inquiétez pas pour les feuilles supérieures sèches, c'est le signe qu'elle est prête à donner son dernier souffle. . bonne journée

She looks close to ready, I would stick with your harvest-plan (D82), but check trichs again. For a simular situation I used the dryferm bags the first time. If you put your trimmed harvest in them and the bags in a halfways reasonable environment (max 20 degrees Celcius and 60% humidity) they dry to the right point and start ripening after it without the need of doing anything. When I came back I had my first smoke of a well dried harvest (although I do not do the whole curing process inside the dryferms. But I can switch to the grovebags or my jars whenever I want and not on a special day.

Yeah cut down and start drying asap.. Yesterday 😂😜
