What will be the outcome of left hanging buds

Ok so I need some opionions. A car accident has sent me to ICU for a few days and probably no discharge for another two weeks. Tops I hope...
Situation at home :
7 plants. All were well ready to harvest. First day I chopped four. Wet trimmed and hung to dry in cool dark cabinet... Second day. Pulled rest of plants from grow room and sat down to trim. Quick*** run to store needed for some manicuring supplies. During trip I was struck by an underaged driver and broke ribs bruised lungs and a few other bad things :(... Ambulance to ER and have been here a total of 7 days so far.
So. Four plants were wet trimmed and hung. Three plants sit on my table untouched still in Pots. I fear I can't get back to them for another week or two.
Without being home and turning air on. I'm sure my house is well into the 90's and dry, as it's finally getting to be summer.
Can someone tell me what I will come home too lol. Will anything be salvageable? This was personal and dried weight estimated at 1#. Not much but still alot of work for a trash can to have. And I really don't want to throw a pound of nice nugs into hash :(.
Basically just a fucked situation.

ANY AND ALL INPUT PLEASE!!! MORE THE BETTER!
The first plant here.. it was looking so nice :(

The ones hanging will be fine with a day or so in a bag with a Boveda pack. The others I have no idea.

Just timing was bad. Friends family out of town also. Def won't be that Top Shelf anymore :(. I'll keep this updated so people can refer to it later down the line. I didn't find much info on the subject. I'm sure something similar has happen to Alot of people.
Plan is popping them in jars as soon as I can. Maybe a 2 week cure and smoke report, and a month cure smoke report. Just frustrating when you try to grow good quality and not just throw in seeds and call it a day.

The plants sitting on the curing table I assume I'll walk into with them snapped over falling down. These are what makes me curious. They were in dry soil but never pulled from roots. Almost like after harvest I stuck the pots out in the sun to dry it lmao. I mean this can't be good. I pushed my trichs too, sense this is more of a sleep med and heavy indica. I always flush but I'm sure it can still draw out what nutes are left as it sits in the soil. The thc has to have been more degrading at this point

I say the ones in the pot will fair better than the hanging ones.

I think they will all be ok. I know people cringe at the thought but you can break those buds down and mist with a bit of clean water. Lightly. Let sit for a bit then jar. Dump buds out and rotate them daily. You don't want mold.

When the moisture evens out you can add brovada packs.

Hmm. So this gets me wondering. I'm old fashion. Cut trim dry cure. Should I take a few and see what all this water curing is, or bud washing? I have the boneva packs too just never had to use them

Raw makes little clay stones to put in your jars to rehydrate, you put a couple drops of water on the clay and put it in the jar. Like $1.50 a piece I think.

Good luck man, best wishes. Hope you come home to no problems. sounds like you been through some shit over what I assume was a beer rubber gloves and fiskers run :)

I washed some buds recently because of a mold problem. The buds that I salvaged are getting close to being done curing. Not a lot of smell, the taste on the test smoke was ok. You wouldn't believe the difference in looks though, cleans then up real nice, very sparkly.

Yup, all over some scissors and a couple beers to enjoy while cutting. Getting discharged today. Will see what the look like...

Man I hope it works out for the best, your injuries and your buds. Nothing worse than losing your hard work. My first grow was ruined because a pipe burst and flooded my grow space.

Good deal. Take it easy and go slow. Dont let a rush to see them nugs cause you to mess up your healing.

Glad to hear you are coming home. Best wishes for your health and your crop.

I had some buds get too dry last year. I just had more irons in the fire than I had hands to hold them. Since I had plenty of other smoke, I just decarbed all the dry stuff and cooked it down into canna coconut oil. I did four ounces per 16 ounces of oil. 2 TBS per cake mix will do you right. Very handy stuff to have around. {Just do not lick the spoon}
