First grow in awhile.... do u guys think these are done?

anytime i have grown in the past it has been this same stran, this is the first grow in about 3-4 years these picks are about 70 days into flowering been flushing using only ph balanced water the past 10 days. usaually in the past i have done the stran for 60 days on the dot dried 3-4 and its dank great smoke!! this time i had some troubles got mites bad half way thru flowering (was able to get rid of em luckily) i think this caused me to think they needed some extra time.
Now i'm lost they look and smell great i've taken a few pieces down over the pst 2 weeks and i can tell the difference as the pieces i took bout 3 days ago have a nice smooth smoke to them,but there losing there smell after 2 days of drying. now i no alot of people say the aroma is all in the cure. i really believe that to be stran specific, and as i said before never had any problems with them smelling and tasting dank after bout 4-5 days say normal room temps.
i guess my question is how do u guys think they look ready to snip>? i say yes......but the smell factor is messing with me! i dont know why im losing that dank smell i never did in previous grows, theres one thing i used that i have never used and its a carbon filter...that couldnt be actually sucking the smell from the plant permannetly i doubt it right?
I DUNNO HELP A LOST GROWER OUT like i said its been a few years and i never thought about these things in the past as far as curing and charcoal filter and proper ventilation lol just thru up lights got clones and ended up doing good. i tend to complicate things when not needed that doesnt help.
as far as where i dried the branches i have taken down i just hung them upside dwn in room with window open it was 70 degrees at the most 50 at the least for bout 3 days then they wouldnt smell anymore but be tottaly puffable birned evenly and all but no smell unless torn?

any help greatly appreciated!!

kinda hard to tell from those pix. can you take a few back a lil more?? just by looking at those pix though, i'd say it's not quite ready yet, still needs a good week plus imo, but better pix would go a long way in helping to tell just how ready they are..

Charcoal filters do absorb odors, but I don't know if that's what is causing your lack of smell. I would think that those look done. I'd expect after the chop and hang some smells will come back...

wait a week or so and see how she looks. Also much of the smell is lost during the drying period, try and make sure they dry slowly from 5-7 days. Otherwise it could end up smelling like hay, even after the cure.

hey thanks for input heres three more photos the first is a piece i took dwn about a week ago.....u guys really think they need longer they been up more then 70 days usually do 8n1/2 weeks and good but i went longer do to the mite problem.
as far as drying slower im having a hard time adjusting my temp.....is it alright to dry in my grow room i dont have any venting i just have a carbon scrubber would i leave that on its got a 6inch inline fan and i run a 24 pint de humidifier should i run both these in there 24 hrs while drying ......1 oscilater?

thnx again!!
 
Any other thoughts I think I'm gonna snip today ....they just Been up so long it's like 74 days usually only do 60 but I think THR mites held me back a week or so? Does that usually set things back? If so how long..any experiences?An​
