Due to unforeseen events I might have to abandon my current crop, moving issues and girlfriend. I am just 24 days into flowering, my buds are starting to form, well they are defiantly there, white hairs like crazy, maybe inch long buds, but I might need to shut my grow down. If I do end up having to, would it even be worth it to chop and dry or just trash everything? Ive already asked the only people I trust if they can take my plants for a bit and unfortunately no one can so. IF and it is a decent chance I do need to let off this growing for a bit, would it be worth it to even chop and dry anything? I mean the buds do have some trichomes but nothing like a fully matured bud.
If you really need to and just wanna salvage what you have then chop the buds and throw em in a paper bag for some stealthy slow drying. Smoke em in a week or two which ever taste your palate requires.
