Understand bro, I'm in Nepal unable to get back home. Public transportation is stopping in my city with nobody to look after the plant. I expect to come back in 1 or 2 more months. Don't know when my brother would be coming back to my apartment, he lives 4.5 hours aways. What would you have me do?

Now, I have to be positive. This plant grew beautifuly and resisted pests and never had issue with mold and was left pretty much alone with just watering twice a week for almost 2 months. Weather is quite favorably hot and dry for the next 3 months, April and May are the driest months. There's hope it will not develop mold.

And if it does, I believe water curing could get rid of the problem. The only thing I regret if I have to do water curing is that they say the smell and taste goes away and this is a chocolate candy that I wanted for the smell and taste mainly. BUT, once I come back, there might still be quarentine, seed banks are not sending seeds, etc. This is pretty much all the product I have to smoke maybe in 6 months, and I do have hopes that it will be way better than schwag besides all the inconveniences.

There's not going to be anything to smoke you can't magically get rig of mold. Your going to kill yourself trying to smoke that. If you let the plant sit it might have at least popped some seeds out for you. Just get comfortable with the fact that you won't be smoking for 6 months.

Oh and the just water for 2 month is why the plant "looks done" it's far from done it's just defecient. I'm really not trying to be an ass you just seem to be listening to all the bad advice some people that have never grown before come on and give advice like that guy that said you plant looked done he's clearly never grown before but I bet you listened to him more than anyone else cuz he told you what you wanted to hear. Reality is you won't be smoking that plant but if you search the forum long enough I'm sure you can find someone to tell you what you want to hear vs reality

We must be looking at different plants...that "nice fade" is a defecient plant I'm not seeing the swollen calyx some hairs are changing color but they aren't receded....if he's willing to post the final product I think we will see fluffy unfinished buds

Stfu clown, you're clearly a moron. The cleaning lady was watering and using nutes according to my instructions. The soil was mixed with sheep dung, the plant always exhibited nice colors and 0 deficiencies.The plant does not look deficicient, it looks beautiful and done. Enough with your troll negativity, you are not to be believed. Seriously how sad is to find antisocial losers in this forum from time to time.

Hahaha yeah I'm the moron... your the one with a box of wet weed piled up next to a Jacuzzi. you claim you will water cure the mold off the weed and smoke it for the next 6 months...I actually believe that part all the mold your ok with smoking is what killed so many of your brain cells. Also you think it's normal for a plant to be completely yellow top to bottom at day 50 that is not normal or "fading" for it to look like that at day 50 you would have seen yellow starting at like day 35 also not ok.

Ok so this is the best my dumbass brother could do: he cut it, placed the branches in a cardboard box and placed the box inside a hidden niche next to the jacuzzi. The niche is like a gap that is covered between the jacuzzi and the wall and has ventilation grill that is lifted and exposes the niche which is a dark cool place. Once one of my buds got mold in there, but I hope this new harvest will fare better as the weather will be hotter and dryer for the next 3 months be4 raining season. Anyways, my brother did not cut off all the fan leaves and didnt trim the buds. Also they will dry horizontaly, basically. Any thoughts? Am I screwed? They will dry there for at least a month. See pics.

I'm not gonna touch the topic of of whether the plant was done or not, but if your weed ends up moldy DO NOT smoke it. It can be really hazardous to your health, and all those put it in the oven/water bath tricks are straight bullshit. There is plenty of science that suggests the spores can survive that crap and the moldy buds can still cause serious damage to your lungs.

If you are lucky enough that it doesn't get moldy, it's still probably gonna be hay tasting garbage after that long without a cure, so I'd turn it into hash myself.

I know it's not what you want to hear, but if there's no one who can periodically check it and jar it for you while your gone your probably out of luck. I actually agree with Renfro's idea but it's too late for that.

Good luck though man. Stay safe through all this insanity, that's the most important thing.

Shit, we need to get our eyesight checked. We're probably daltonic and also need glasses, cuz I zoomed at the pic and don't see yellow from top to bottom and can't find a straight white hair poking out..

I just went through this thread and all I can say is, how can you grow plants and not take care of them yourself? Shameful, I enjoy taking care of my plants. To just grow to smoke some shitty premature buds..... Makes me quiver. It's not about the weed it's learning the process and patience that's the virtue.

Throw all that crap out and start again. The right way......
