Thanks T.A.C. - no luck on any baby sitters, so it's either the compost or the (drying) rack...

 

Piispotgrower - thank you too, but a few plants isn't worth the place getting burned down - I appreciate your help though.

Another question - harvesting is not the best option, but it appears to be the only one left to me now.

 

If I use the tent to dry them the way T.A.C. has suggested, given these plants are 'immature' in terms of their budding time, am I better to saw them off at the trunk and hang them whole? Or do I buy a drying rack and cut them down to smaller branches. I'm assuming that because of their immaturity, it would be best to leave on all the leaves until I return...(???)

 

Thanks Guys

Just throw em man. Not worth the time to dry and smoke. U could make butter as Lou suggested. Personally I wouldn't bother.

If ya leave them going and burn the house down, chances are ya Mrs will be there to put out the fire. If not you will have a good opportunity to grow after that without worrying about the nagging, if ya get my drift.

If you decide cut them there is no need to get drying racks etc, just cut the trunks at the base and hang them upside down in the tent... leave the extraction running.

Yeah, peace of mind is better than worrying about fires. You can always start again when you get home. Rather than getting home and you can't start anything again. Hard to grow in a pile of ashes.

Fires? I'm only using the tent to dry them, just Fan IN / (Air-Socked) Fan OUT - that's it. No Lights - is that not good? Just hang what I got upside down and leave undisturbed for 3 weeks. Surely as a first time cropper I have to try to save at least SOMETHING.... some memento. There's at least 6 branches that are 15cm long/thick with buds which feel heavy and sticky. (I'm assuming that's how they should feel...????)

 

So I'm thinking, at worst I come back to something that might be worth something. And in fact, why not trim off all the branches that I don't think are thick enough, thereby allowing the nutes to go to mama.....!!

 

Sure, I don't want a fire, so is this a GOOD plan above - YES or NO ???

 

Whaddaya reckon?

Thanks for your help. They died of natural causes... no sign of life...
