Hi. Finally at the chopping point. I have 4 plants ready to chop and 5 about 2 weeks out. I only have one tent right now.
Any advice how to handle this dilema?

What’s the dilemma? Sounds to me like you chop what’s ready and wait on the rest. I don’t see the issue unless you are unprepared and don’t have a place to dry. In that case several weeks ago would have been a good time to ask, just do the best you can with what you have.

I had a plan. I just received 6 female clones from a friend. 1st time with photos. The 6 photos are in the drying tent now.

In that case move the photos out of the drying tent and dry your harvest. The clones will survive outside of a tent for a while. I own a tent still in the box, never used one ever.

To not wait until the last second and then panic, but to have a plan in place. I’m chopping in a couple weeks, just started a build on a new cure box so I’ll have room. It’s called planning ahead, it’s really not a new concept.What would you have advised several weeks ago?

Lmao. I agree. I'm a planner as well. The photos put a damper on my plans. My tents are in a basement. My basement is finished and controlled to a 61%RH. Temps are cool. I'm seriously concerned about the light schedule. 18 on 6 off, I could manage.

If your basement temps are 61f that’s perfect, just find a dark corner and hang the plants to dry as you would in a tent.

Just look into perpetual harvesting, that's what your doing on a micro scale. Chop what you need and hang them in a cool dark place until the stems are snappy and not bendy then trim and smoke.
Drying and Curing Cannabis
After stage 4 you can start smoking too, the step 5 is just to prevent mold or uneven moisture in closed containers while still retaining some level of moisture.
Drying and Curing Cannabis
- Trim away excess leaves and large stems after harvesting.
- Hang buds upside down in a dry, cool, and dark place with good airflow.
- Maintain temperature (60-70°F) and humidity (50-60%) for 7-14 days until stems snap instead of bending.
- Trim away remaining leaves and transfer buds to an airtight container.
- Open and let air into the container(s) weekly or so for the first couple weeks to prevent any possible mold or moisture imbalances.
