Kinda sick but kinda not

Any advice on harvest time would be greatly appreciated. Trichomes are mostly cloudy and just a few amber. Some are still clear, or appear to be at least. It’s hard to tell. I have a jewelers loupe, but my hands are too shaky at 60x.

Also, what’s everyone’s best dry, trim and cure techniques? I’m leaning towards a dry trim, but not quite sure how long to dry and when to jar. Plant is in its 10th week of flower. I used florakleen for two days and then plain RO water for the last two days.

They definitely got some foxtails.

Yeah, they’re a little pointy at the tops of some colas. I’m not very experienced with fox tailing. Most of the pics of foxtails I’ve seen look kinda crazy. Temps were fine in the tent, but the LED was close and pretty powerful. Definitely could’ve been light stress.
It can be genetic and I believe that's what the crazy pics of foxtailing you seen were.
Don't worry too much though. As long as the plant looks healthy, it's usually not detrimental. At least not ime.

It looks pretty good, but only time will tell I suppose. Any tips on drying? I’ve read just about everything I can find on the subject. General consensus is trim large fan leaves and hang the plant for around 14 days. Then trim and jar. I’m worried I’ll fuck this part up again and end up with weed that smells like tea. It’s pretty cruel that the dry/cure can erase months of hard work and dedication if not done properly.

It's actually pretty simple. Dry at 60/60. 60°f/60% rh. At least a close as you can get. The longer the better. 14 days is a good time to shoot for but it'll depend on if you get stem snap.

Dry trim and jar. I usually fill mine about 3/4 of the way. Don't fill the jars tight. Get some mini hygrometer. Put in jars 1 each. Keep it around 62%.
