i know, all those trichome pics and the bud pics were all of the same plant, its getting close. im sure that will be the first to go
kinda hopin on a couple opinions of the trichome pics, keep in mind they are all from different buds different areas of the plant, but the same plant nonetheless

Trichomes look good im seeing mainly cloudy and a few amber here and there with minimal clear heads still impo check trichomes towards the bottom of the plant and judge off of that you may have a bunch of clear towards the bottom still as the tops of the plant matures quicker and the bottom buds are the last to mature

a couple of the pics were from the lower “larf” buds i guess, i think thats what it is referred to, the small buds that probably wont make the cut, very airy too, no weight to em.
i was thinkin all those little buds on bottom could be turned to wax at least, and the trim to budder
learned a valuable bit of information as far as trimming goes for my next run as well, seeing it first hand, now i know exactly what to trim, and where, to make sure this amount of larf never happens again, nothing but big main colas from here on out

If some of those are from lowers then id be looking at chopping in about 5 days or so and yeah once you get a fouple grows under the belt you begin to do things differently and more efficiently lol

should i trim it a bit to open it up? ive heard mixed replies to this. i see ppl say to leave the leaves 
so the buds can eat what nutes are in them while they dry or something, increase potency
than again i also heard it could cause mold by not trimming, but it seems the room its in is around 50% humidity steadily.
cant be controlled until they all get chopped and put back in to the tent together to finish drying as a team.
i have to use a separate room temporarily due to space to dry the ones done until all the rest are done in the tent, since im still using the tent obviously

I think they keep the leaves mostly to help regulate the RH in the drying room. Keeping the leaves helps slow down the drying period. If your room is really dry, keep the fan leaves to help slow things down. But if your room has a high RH, you might want to take them off… If you keep them, check carefully so that mold doesn’t appear…

should i use a fan or no fan? i assume that will probably dry it too fast if i use a fan.
so i wanna say no fan, but im only like 99% on no fan, so another 1% assurance would be appreciated lol
or if i should i would like to be corrected.

If you use one, keep it at the lowest setting and not directly on your drying plants. Personnaly, I don’t use one, but I inspect my plants every day…

You could break her down a bit and spread the branches out. Try and keep your drying area as close to 60/60 RH/Deg as possible, a small fan on low as @kaptain3d stated wouldn’t hurt. Just not directly at your hanging flowers. Looks like some good smoke, by the trichomes pics you posted she was ready!
