What would you do?

So I'm leaving for the cabin Thursday and will be back Tuesday. I have my plants drying at 60f and 65RH. They're 10 days in and need another 4 or 5 from the feel of them. Would you leave them and harvest after you got back? I don't want to over dry them but I'm thinking at that humidity and temp I should have a few days of wiggle room?

They will be fine
No fan

Turn the fans off so they don't dry out fully? Could no fan create a possible mold problem?
Look I can’t speculate on your drying area or home
All I know is if you leave a fan on it it will crush into dust if you aren’t monitoring it
Mold maybe unless you haven’t had any mold issues prior

Have had zero mold in the past, I'll turn off the ones pointing at them.

I have a 15x18 foot drying room
I have a dehumidifier in the far corner
That is the only fan I have in the room and I get a perfect dry every time
I hang all plants whole and dry trim
Good luck
What rh and temp do you keep and how long does it usually take? Just curious..

I've noticed the longer I dry hang the better especially when using the bag trimmer method. I pluck all fan leaves off before hanging on hangers then let it hang in ~65 °F / 60% RH for at least 14-16 days before I even start bucking buds off the branches.

No problem at all maybe reduce from 65% humidity to 60 though.
