Waiting till the pistils are all orange sounds like a good plan. Should be a good pain-killer by then! Like you said, the sativa will surely take care of the head so let the indica soothe the body and anxiety. As far as the airflow, I remember I grew an autoflower in my tent with two other NON-autoflowering strains so the auto was done/chopped sooner than the rest and I could not dry all of my girls together. I rigged a cardboard box with about three rows of string and hung the buds in the box. I left a small crack open in the box for air to get through, and I placed the box in the back of my laundry room's storage closet in total darkness. To mask the smell I burned oils in the laundry room and even poured some oil on a rag to place inside the back of the laundry room closet. Absolutely no fan was used and my buds dried nicely over about a week to 10 day's time. I kept a really close eye on them though, checking at least two to three times a day to make sure nothing ever smelled moldy or anything, and they were fine. Since you are hanging yours in an open closet, I believe they'll do fine as well. Just keep an eye on them like I know you willYes ma'am, that's the indica.
I like a good mix between the two, for back and knee pain/anxiety but I also like to smoke a bowl before I head out and do yard work and such. Maybe I should let her ripen a little bit longer and leave my sativa to take care of the head part lol. I actually did pull a piece off from near the bottom of the stalk the other day, however I failed to properly test it, as I was already medicated and just wanted to taste of it. SHAME ON ME, but I couldn't resist. My current plan is to just wait til all the pistils are orange and I'll probably give her another test. If it seems just right I'll chop her down and get to dryin.
Another quick question, how important is airflow when drying? I planned to just hang my buds from clothes hangers in my closet (I won't have to worry about smell when it comes that time) but unsure if the lack of any airflow in my closet would cause mold or something. I know my box would be too much air flow and cause them to dry unevenly, any other suggestions?

Hey bro, we ALL do shit with our grows that makes us say "SHAME ON ME" ... even those of us who have more than one grow under our belt ... ESPECIALLY when we are medicated!! I did some shit in my garden yesterday while medicated that was just crazy as f*** ... simply could not stop f**kin' with one of my plants til' I ended up inadvertently topping her and and bent her to where I now have her propped up against a stick so she can heal herself. Knew I was f'in with her too much but was just trippin' ya know? Fortunately I don't freak out about this type of stuff 'cause I've seen how these babies bounce back, but still ... being loaded while working with/training plants is something I know better than to do! LOL! Part of the grow journey man ... you've done great by your ladies though ... I'm sure the reward will be worth it all. Okay ... you know I get chatty as hell when I'm medicated. Let me go to my journal and update.
Much grow love
