Thank you everyone, from me and my wife for all your best wishes/good vibes!!! She's doing ok, all things considered. Gonna be leaving in a few to bring her to get some medical testing done, at 2 different medical buildings, plus another test Monday at a different place.....I dont like to really talk about shit like this, I always stay positive and people always tell me all the time I'm always smiling and happy. We all got our challenges in life though, I got COPD and arthritis kicking my ass everyday. Coming on here talking with you all helps take some of the pain away. If anyone ever needs to talk about anything, im here, private message me anytime.

On a brighter note, I took a look at your stealth build and it looks BAD ASS!! Love the perfect pocket holes!! You're were right, its gonna look pro AF when you're done! Last time I built a box was 12-13 years ago, and it didn't even come close to the build you got going! Shit I ain't gonna lie it was basically just 2x2s and plywood with a couple holes for ventilation and electrical.

Gotta go now, thanks again everyone!!

So I'm heading away from home next Wednesday. Do I cut and let her dry while I'm gone till Sunday or do I rig up watering for the time I'm gone and chop when I return?

Throw them in the dark til chop time ..... ( when you get back )
Plant will be more fragrant and you can leave “ in pot “ to begin drying out.
That slight stress bumps resin production.

Many growers let plant begin drying “ on the vine “ sort of speak. .

What are your thoughts on the chances of botrytis in this situation? I remember seeing high humidity levels earlier in one of the pics. I forgot to mention it, I dont think anyone did, maybe it went unnoticed? Don't know if it may be related to watering schedule. But even if he doesn't water it and leaves it in the dark from Wednesday to Sunday thats like 5 days. I've done preharvest light dep before but never for that long.

Just went back through the pics, looks like rh was 92% high/27%low that's a pretty huge swing. There's still time to finish it up before he leaves, maybe drop the light time a half hour to help it ripen up the next 4 days, and do light dep the last day, or just harvest that day if things looks good and get a headstart on drying. Then dry the branches in 4 separate spots if possible, to eliminate the potential for any spread if anything happens.

He's already got a headstart on trimming lol.

You can power down - leave fans going - zipped shut.

Plant will be fine , you are planning to chop it anyways .... let it go. Air exchange will move any stagnant air .... keep humidity down.

Then you can chop them anytime you want since plant in darkness .... pull and cut stalk ... done.

Also you pretty much wet trimmed her already

Not sure which pics you looked at for humidity jump but its been pretty consistent this grow. If you are looking at the stealth box grow journal its significantly out of date for this run. I'll start logging again when I spin up the new box in a week or so.

I can run all sorts of combinations in the current box, including shutting off the box remotely so keeping it at a certain RH wouldn't be a problem, before or after chop so letting it sit dark or chopped for 4-5 days unchecked wouldn't be risky.

Awesome , thats gonna be tasty i bet by the time its ready after curing. Don't be like me, i put a few stems in my closet for drying a few days ago , and today them suckers were pretty dry, i was scared they dried too fast! But after being in a jar for a day, they are sticky and softened up again. Gonna just burp it for a couple weeks and leave it in the dark before anymore sampling. Its super potent, all cloudy trichs with very little amber

Epic!!!!!! Damn stickyfly, those buds looks amazing! Like mini hand grenades lol, the wait really paid off.

That new setup looks fantastic too, got me wanting to do a stealth build!! I just checked out the clip on the blumenbot IG, looks so sick. Nice to see it fully completed.
