Im planning on harvesting in 3 weeks. My planned date is about 2 days before I go on vacation for 5 days. Im worried about mold while Im gone during the initially drying stages. My question is,,,,,, Would I be better served NOT chopping the plant, but instead letting it just dry out while Im gone and slowly die? Would leaving the plant alone slow the drying of the buds so as to not have to worry about mold forming? OR Would I just be better off harvesting and leaving the buds in a paper bag while Im gone?
i say let it alone should be higher stoned if you wait to harvest till the orange hairs show then chop it down
