OK, so my girl is progressing nicely, but I have put myself into a small situation. My girl started flowering mid July and the pictures represent her as of this morning.
Here is my situation. My wife and I are flying out of town on October 8th and returning the 12th. My mom will stay at my place to watch our daughter while we are away.
I am currently having daily battles with bud worms and picking them daily. Luckily, most I am finding are still quite small and yet to turn green. Have found a couple larger green fuckers.
Anyways, I don't care if my plant is still in the garden while my mom is here, but I simply can't have a pound of bud hanging to dry for obvious reasons. Here I am 45 years old, a father and worried about my mommy seeing a bunch of weed hanging LOL
Anyways, I am worried to leave my plant that long un attended, and I am hoping she will be ready to harvest, I am shooting for the the 25th or 26th. That would give me 11 or 12 days to dry, final trim and jar my fruit. I will likely bring my jars to a friends to burp while I am gone to start the curing process.
Anyone think, judging by the pics, that she will be ready by the 25/26th, another 10 days? Also, is 11 days realistic for large buds like these to dry? I plan on doing a pretty thorough wet trip before hanging. My only other grow was last year and the plants/buds were a quarter of the size of these guys. I will be drying in my garage that usually is around 70-80 degrees depending on current climate.
