Harvesting crop after 5-6 weeks flower, opinions wanted

[RobertKing]

Ahaha dunno I can afford your plane ticket but hey there's definitely an offer for a free place to stay for 4-6 weeks!! Sunny beaches, pleasant-on-the-eyes chicks, you'd love it!

Gingerbeard I’m going to use this name, Buds’N’Buds for my grow shop / Head shop 😁👍🏻 Perfect for my shop 🙏🏻

[RobertKing]

Brilliant plan 😂 Couple free grams of bud at the end of it too! Sounds like an irresistible deal to me!

[CaptainWiese91]

A zip lock ?
Never tried this method. I use a glass jar.
But if you must be away - would take a glass jar - like from a jam, there you have a tin capsule on top, so you can make tiny holes in it. Like when you catch a salamander or a spider - for the air to get out/in.

[Gingerbeard]

Hold on. You sound like a foreigner. Are you a foreigner? Maybe you could fly me up and I could have a foreign vacation.

[Gingerbeard]

Offer your buddy four to six weeks of free vacation in the big city. Room, only. And he'll have to work for it.

[RobertKing]

Damnnn right cheers! Let's hope it's an indica and my harvest is useable.. I'll ask around, and if no one can help out that's the current best strategy!

This means that i'll have to dry the buds and chuck them straight in a ziplock, and will not be able to 'burp' them... Will this be an issue?

[RobertKing]

Great buisiness idea! You should start that haha.

I'll ask around, definitely the best solution. It's just a very big ask as the city I live in would have even my (geographically) closest friends taking hours out of their day. Perhaps i'll knock on some neighbours doors in the apartment and ask.

[CaptainWiese91]

Buds’N’Buds - sounds fucking awesome 😆👍🏻

[RobertKing]

That's fair enough, I have similar concerns for sure so i'll rule that out i'd say

Maybe, but I live in a big city, I'd be asking a college mate to travel 90+mins to water my plants... I could try ask around but I'd say likely not

[Papapuff559]

Yeah I understand that. I think they make light timers you can control with your mobile device if that's an option

[CaptainWiese91]

I wouldn’t do it.
Even if I go out to eat or have fun, I have a bad feeling when my light is on actually.
Never tried a fire. I have dogs, but could never forgive myself if It all burned and my dogs were inside..
you don’t have a friend you trust ?

[Gingerbeard]

Hey RobertKing Do you have someone you trust who could take care of things while you're gone? Lights on a timer. Easy watering if maybe your friend may not be cool with nutes. But molasses, at least, during flowering. Quick harvest when it's time. By 'quick' I mean cutting all the main branches and letting them hang instead of a full trim of nugs and colas.

Hey! Maybe we could start some sort of plant care thing for people who go out of town. Like Air BNB. Buds-n-buds. Buds taking care of your buds when you are unable.

[RobertKing]

Thanks for the suggestion, definitely worth me thinking about but I'm a little sketched out about leaving my lights going while I'm away for weeks... They kick off a fair bit of heat I'm sure they wouldn't start a fire but it still sketches me out a bit thinking about it!

Don't think I know anyone to water them for me either unfortunately...

[CaptainWiese91]

Depends on the strain. If it’s a sativa it will not be much.
But the trichomes would not even be milky white.
I think the best choice you have is harvest after 5,5 weeks.
In my opinion of course.
Ohh this is a hard one mate 😅😅
