by the time in 3 weeks all trichomes on the sugar leaves. will be all amber. right. .so i have to wait for trichomes on the buds for 50% amber. right . dont need to look at trichomes on sugar leaves rightI'm thinking about 3 more weeks ... I know it's hard to wait but the next 4-6 weeks of grow and harvest and dry and cure are some of the most important weeks of the grow ... they look good.

Unless you've solved your drying space problem I'd say that harvest will be when all the plants look ready to come down ... it's nice to consider trichomes but unless you have at least one more space to dry in besides your grow room you will pretty much have to take them down when they all look done ... that one looks like it may be a little earlier ... any chance of a closet where you could hang just one ?
i have another room. but tem there too hot unless i need to turn on air con. is it ok to turn on a/c while drying to make tem cool down. i will hang the plant in box and put it under the table. does it work. not direct air from a/c. drying 1 plant in another room possible for me. not too much smell.

if it's room AC just turn it on at like 78* and don't have the plant directly in the air flow ... should check the rh in the room ... it would help if I knew your climate ... temps ... humidity level ... you mention rainy season ... is that like monsoon season or a gentle afternoon rain ... initially hang the whole plant as one piece to dry ... could work well ...
yes monsoon weather. southeast asia. tem is 77-88* . humidity outside is up to 92% . thats alot. i think i cannot dry with outisde envirnment. gonna face mould problem. right. either in another room or in the grow room better. i will check the tem and rh in another room today. thx chester

Drying room RH over 70% can make drying difficult ... your most mature plant is probably still a few weeks from being done so there is no rush on finding a drying space but when it's time to harvest it's good to be prepared ... visualize each plant hanging upside down and look around indoors to see if you have a spare closet or two ... using the grow room is popular and it can have the added benefit of slowing the grower down rather than piling one grow on top of another they have a chance to slow down and appreciate the cycle of the plant ... veg / flower / harvest / dry / cure / enjoy ....
hi chester. i already made a place under the plywood for drying take a look in the pic. i will cover with blanket or something from top again . so not light can leak inside the box. u think is that ok. thx.hope 2 boxes fit for a plant. i think it should be fit.Drying room RH over 70% can make drying difficult ... your most mature plant is probably still a few weeks from being done so there is no rush on finding a drying space but when it's time to harvest it's good to be prepared ... visualize each plant hanging upside down and look around indoors to see if you have a spare closet or two ... using the grow room is popular and it can have the added benefit of slowing the grower down rather than piling one grow on top of another they have a chance to slow down and appreciate the cycle of the plant ... veg / flower / harvest / dry / cure / enjoy ....

When I dry I'm more worried about stagnant air than I am light ... neither is good but light just degrades THC a little ... stagnant air causes mold and loss of crop ... wires strung across the tops of those two boxes should hold a plant but you'll want easy access to the box to open it several times a day for air exchange ... let's back up and have you tell me why just cutting them all down at the same time and hanging them for a week to ten days in the grow space isn't doable ... I realize it's not preferable ... preferable would be a separate drying room but you don't have that available to you ... once the plants are dry the next stage ( jars ) requires darkness and indoor temps plus the ability to access the jars several times a day ... you're about 3 weeks away from having a lot of weed ... be a shame to lose the crop after harvest ...
eta ... if you're able to keep those boxes open like they are in the photo and the plywood doesn't sit down on the top of the boxes closing them off and you're able to access the boxes a couple times a day w/o too much effort ... it might work ... but only if the boxes aren't closed off ...

My drying box ... I have about 6 of these ... takes 2-3 to hold a good sized plant ... whenever possible I will be hanging the plant as one piece during the drying stage in the future ... it's easier and dries more evenly ... I cover these boxes w/ newspapers to keep out the light but leave about an inch open all around the top for ventilation ... open a couple times a day and fan w/ the paper and leave the top off about every other night ... really a lot easier to hang the plant whole ...

im worrying abt the light.since u telling me light a lityle bit of light leakis ok. then im happy. air is also ok in my grow room has air ventilation. plywood doesnt sit on top also. 1 box is abt 5 inch away and other box is 2 inch away. so i think thats the only way i can think off from now with box under plywood. i wish i can hang the whole plant like u said. unfortunenatly no place. here is my update pic for today.yes.
