Bad News

At about the eight week flowering mark for two of my four plants, I'm going to be away from home for about three weeks--won't be able to water for the three weeks; won't be able to perform the tasks necessary for drying/curing. I'm at six weeks now; I just fertilized for the last time--they're small, but they're frosting nicely.

I'm okay with cutting at eight weeks just before I leave--what I get is what I get. But might it be possible to freeze the undryed buds then thaw and dry/cure when I get back? Perhaps I should cut them and just let them hang for the three weeks I'm gone? Perhaps I should let them dry out in the soil in the dark? (I'm not going to feel comfortable running the light unattended for the time I'm away.)

By the way, if you're into sadness and depression, the other two plants are bushy six week old females that will die in the dark with no water.

Any thoughts?

give them to a friend to finish .. and offer to split the bounty

Got no friend, don't even have a dog.

go buy an auto watering system or something, rig one up Red Green style

i love red green LOL ,, hes the shyt ,, put all the lights on a timer ,,, & then get a seprate timer ( a whole week timer **walmart 6$**,, not a 24 hour ) & hook it up to a water pump ,, like a boat pump 30$.. have the small end about as big as a straw from mcdonalds ,, splice that straw into each pot .... fill ur bathtub with water ,, & ur ferts ,, (ph water 1st) ,, the pump will suck water thru the hoses into ur pots, then have that timer set for 1 minute , 2 times a week ,, like sunday & thursday ,,, iv done it before ,, accept mine was for 2 weeks ,, i had court & knew i was goin to jail ,, so i had a week to debate what i was gonna do ,,, i smoked a fatty & came up with this idea,,, umm about 30$ set back

The thing is, I don't want to operate the light when I'm gone nor any electrical. Can I freeze, then thaw to dry and cure? Should I just hang them for the three weeks? Should I just leave them to die and dry in the dirt?

I just wattered mine and i prob don't have to watter them for 1 week stright

i don't kow man if you chop and hang then youll come home to so wicked dry buds that will probably cook off the first four layers of skin from your tounge if you smoke it. Sorry I culdn't help more
