Autoflower 2nd grow - day92

I carefully removed the brown bud from the main branch and disposed of it. Already harvested everything (i leaved a small portion on the plant, basically the lower side), I did a light trim and checked for mold while putting everything to dry. The rest of the buds looked fine. On inspecting each bud inside, I found no signs of bud rot like a brown stem. Although I was cautious, I'm aware that mold spores might have spread. Now, it's just a matter of whether or not they develop on the other buds I've recently harvested.
 
On the third day of drying, the average temperature is 18°C with 60% humidity. Meanwhile in the main tent, I'm still watering the remaining plant she is at day 103 avg 24C / 49% hum (pics below), but I'm wondering if it's worth the effort or just a waste of time. The plant doesn't look promising (possibly reverting to vegetative state?), so I'm considering starting anew with another plant while waiting for the main harvest to finish drying. What do you think?

This second grow taught me valuable lessons for the future:
  1. A 24-hour light cycle is not ideal, particularly for beginners like myself. It's better to provide at least 2-4 hours of darkness.
  2. Even in indoor grows and with utmost cleanliness, pest infestations can still occur.
  3. When a plant shows signs of distress, there's a high likelihood of developing issues such as bud rot, or it may just stunt and not grow as expected.

It's been 106 days since germination and the seventh day of drying. The remaining part of the plant doesn't seem capable of producing more buds. Should I allow it a few more weeks to see any improvement?

Meanwhile, I've ordered some new seeds. If there's no improvement in the plant by next week, I'll accept the setback and begin a new growing cycle. For this new cycle, I've selected the Auto Mimosa Punch strain.
Moreover using my apt AC unit to cool the tent for drying doesn't seem like a viable long-term solution. I'm considering purchasing a 35-liter no-frost mini fridge for drying my next harvest in paper bags.​
