Looks like it has 3-4 weeks left so I definitely wouldn't be chopping it any time soon.

Are you in a fabric or plastic pot? You can look into this, I'm sure there are videos online, but you can take a water bottle (2 liter if you have room in the pot), fill it with water and poke/drill very small holes in it and leave it standing in the pot while you're gone. It will slowly drip irrigate over time. It would be better if you were there to monitor it the first time you did it, but even if it goes a little too fast or too slow you have a better chance of the plant surviving until you get back.
Best case of course would be if you had a trusted friend who could check on it every few days. My guess is that plant needs another 2-3 weeks, at least. Personally, I think taking it down this early would be a total waste so I'd risk it drying out and dying while I was gone before I'd cut it this early.

Not ready … needs weeks to swell and harden off.
Chop now and you wasted the effort.

Here’s what to do if you read this in time.
Find a pot twice the size or as big as possible, transplant it into the pot and give it a thorough watering. The extra soil with no roots will keep the centre moist and also fill with roots for bigger fruits.
Now, turn off any heaters when you go, plants naturally have a cooler environment end of flower. This will slow evaporation rates right down.
Backing off the light too will also help reduce transpiration.
You do all that you’ll come back to a happy plant!

I ordered a drip irrigation for it. It’s already at week 10 and I don’t leave till Friday 24th. I’m gonna let it go and automatic water her ever 2 days with like 3/4 gallon. Transplant won’t hurt it this late like mentioned above??

Sounds like you'll be good to go without a need to pot up or transplant as long as it gets some water and light in that 10 day absence.

Thatll do the trick. Transplanting never hurts a plant in any stage unless done incorrectly. Just makes it harder when you have a pound of plant matter swaying about lol

I now have spider mites which I couldn’t believe I didn’t have them earlier since this was a half outdoor and half indoor grow depending on the weather and I am in hot humid State
