hey everyone i started my first grow on september 2. Outta 6 plants i got 4 females and they have been in flower for 40 days. The colas are getting fat and the hairs are starting to turn. I know i need to wait untill the tricomes are milky/amber. Only one problem i am leaving for a winter vacation for 3 months. So the plants need to be dried by december 1st. Is there any way i make sure they are as ripe as they can be by that time? I know i am harvesting early but i have no choice. So any thoughts on the matter would be appreciated.

Growing under 250w hps, Tiger bloom nutes every other water, Molasses evey other.

bump .

how long have they been in 12/12. what var. are you growing indoor or out. are you in soil/hydro ect... any pics. and really you should plan your grow, or leave it with someone?. if its not ready, the bud wont be any good if its not ready.

i dont know just some chron bag seeds i got from a fellow grower....hes got a whole jar. Two are totally short and bushy indica right? And two are Sativa dominant tall thinnner leaves. Unfotunatly my gf took my camera so no pics. I think with molasses and a final few flushes and 24hrs of dark they will be good. Well they have to be. I know i should of planed but when i started it was like half ass...then i got obsessed and got a light and a good setup. My second grow will be way better but i fugured for the first time im not dooing bad at all. Grower friend of mine thinks ill get at least a half. ill be stoked

Yea man, anytime you can get some buds out of your first try is a success....I assume you will be doing a 2nd grow?

good luck.
