So im going out of town... never good... I have all my living plants under control for that period.
Im leaving saturday morning and coming back sunday sometime between 12pm and 3pm.
Im currently drying 3 diff plants. One is just barely starting to get crispy on one or two buds, one is a bit wetter than that, and the other is still pretty wet.
Im thinking the first one, maybe even the second, will be ok by the time I leave sat to put in jars and not open them til I get back on sunday. But the third I doubt it. Im worried if I leave them they will dry out too much, and then go to shit. They all have a good smell now.
So, if one isnt ready for jarring, or even the wetter two arent, what can I do? They are in paper bags now, Im thinking put the paper bags in a plastic container and put the top on slanted so there is some air getting in there to slow the drying.
If I put them in too early (jar them), how long will it take mold to form? Will it form in 24-32 hrs?
my f'n gd is making me g on this trip, not really an option to stay or have anyone else watch them (no one I trust).
Sorry for the long rant, what should I do?

oh, the first two have been cut down and frying for about 3-4 days, the other one 2-3 (as of today, thursday)... I have the bags open now to try to get them to dry enogh so I can jar em before I leave. from my experience, there is only a 6-12 hr window where you want to get em in jars, or they can get too dry fast (at least how I dry them...)

I'd probably leave them in the paper bags with the tops of the bags rolled over, just to be safe. I don't think they would get too crispy that way, and not much of a chance of mold if pretty much dry already.

what are the chances of mold if I jar them for the 32 hrs im gone before they are ready? Then take them all out and bag em again?

I don twant them over dry and get the nasty hay smell, but dont want mold either.
im gonna do an experiment, put one smaller bud in a jar now, and leave it for 32 hrs (tmrw night around 9 or so...) and see what happens...
