Hi could you help me with something I'm not sure when to harvest these 4 they look really frosty and smell great but I'm not sure when to harvest and also should I use a fan in the tent when I'm drying these. I've done 2 crops before these and I'm sure I harvested too early and the weed smelled like wet hay how do I avoid this. The last crop lost all smell and taste but still got you high, this time I'm looking to keep the smell and taste is there any tips that could help me achieve this. Thanks

Whats up @beddy Nice looking ladies!!!
You really need to get a good close look at the trichomes to get a feel for a harvest date. Some cellphones have a macro setting which will probably do the trick. They do look to be nearing the end
The drying process plays a big role in the final quality of smell and taste. Slower, cool drying area thats nice and dark

Should I have a fan going or will that force dry them ? I was already thinking that having the fan going for air circulation was causing the last ones to lose their smell and taste so was going to try without this time, or is a fan required to prevent bud rot. Thanks

Yeah I hear ya, typically use a small fan blowing into the bottom corner of my room and run the exhaust fan. Keeps cool with all the lights off. Most of the time its at around day 6/7 is when I do final OCD trim and then bag it up

Yes. Use a circulation fan to keep the air moving inside the tent. I position mine slightly above the canopy.

Keeping the humidity below 60% is the best way to prevent bud rot.
