Is this CBD plant ready to chop?

[Budclarkson]

7 weeks of flowering. Does this look ready or should I let go some more?

What happens early vs mid vs late with a CBD plant?

These were taken a couple of days ago.

Here’s a close up of trichomes this morning:

Chop at 9 weeks

cbd plants you want to chop early rather than later..
those trichome pictures don’t really look good, looks like lots of damaged heads from handling or heat stress..

The closeups are out of focus because I had a cheap loop over the phone camera lens.

It’s in the corner of the tent with the temp 74F pretty consistently. Dark purplish plant,

Hopefully tomorrow I’ll have some better macro pics.

If I’m away for a couple of days during the drying or curing process will there be any issues?

For the curing containers, what’s a good square or rectangular container to use so I can manage less containers? Pop the lid and rotate the buds and relid?

8 weeks, put it in darkness and probably cut and hang tomorrow. Trim the fan leaves off?

Can control humidity in the drying tent and temp of room is around 65-71F. When it starts getting hot I can connect a portable AC.

Is this accurate for temp and humidity? What is ideal?

Humidity should be 55-65% and temperatures 60-70°F; if your drying room is at these, you likely don't need a fan, only if your dry space goes above these ranges.

I also have a fan on low. I stopped it oscillating so it’s just indirectly circulating air. Sound good?

Chopped, clipped most of the bigger fan leaves, and hung to dry with some garden wire.

You can see the fan just below. Small plant at 2FT tall.

Pointed upwards? Toward a corner?
