I have a family get-together out of town and while out, I want to stop by a few friends as well. I'll probably be gone for 5-6 days. I'm real close to harvest...tomorrow is 8 wks into flower and the seeds said 7-9 weeks. Mostly this grow has gone very well. One day I accidentally turned the light timer to fully on so it was on 24 hrs. I noticed in the morning and then I flipped it off for 24 hrs. It seems that the top bud is the least ripe which is opposite how it usually is and I'm guessing it's because of the light issue. I currently have almost 100% cloudy trichomes and about 5% amber on the sugar leaves but not much inside the buds. I have plenty of couch-lock stash so I'm looking to keep the sativa side of this and don't want to wait too long to harvest. Strain is White Widow. Grow was DWC and I swapped out for pure ph adjusted water two days ago. If I need to give more info, let me know.
My question is how to harvest based on my timing. Some options I've considered:
- Wait until I get back. That's an extra week and a half though and I'll be past the 9 weeks by then. If I left this in pure water, will this slow down the ripening process?
- Harvest today, dry for 3 days, and put in mason jars with Boveda packs?
- Harvest the day before I leave and jar them up when I get back with Boveda packs to re-hydrate?
Any other ideas?
Thanks.
