Well...this pretty much sucks.
Its my first grow and I'm moving about 21 hours or driving time away from
where I currently am. I'm taking a airplane there sunday. So I have a few questions here.. One of my plants is about a month and a half into flowering and my other plant is almost a month into flowering. Heres a few pictures:

Plant 1

Plant 1

Plant 2
Is there anyway I can harvest these plants this early? If not both, maybe just the first one?And if i did, how could i take them with me on a plane? Is there anyway this is going to work?
Any help is appreciated.

you cant take them on a plane, at all unless you want to move into an 8x8 cell instead of your new home.
please i mean no offense to you at all by saying this but: your plants dont look like like they have much on them nor do they look like they are worth the trouble of transporting them. your better off cutting them and smoking what you get from them. do a quick dry and enjoy them b4 you fly.. or you could make them into a small amt of canna butter and spread them on a bagel or something for your trip. you could probably make a stick of butter worth and make a small batch of brownies or something. i wouldnt not in anyform try and get them on the plane with you, its a very dumb idea. sometimes you just have to cut your losses and accept it. it happens to all of us. 1.5 months in should be enough to get you at least a little buzz. bummer to hear about your predicament.
the only thing that is plausable in my mind would be to some how take a cutting or 2 wrap it in moist papertowel around the stem, place in plastic bag and ship it to yourself at your new address, then when it gets there try and get it to root and then grow it out and start all over again.even getting it to root and revert back to veg is iffy. better off chopping them now. but either way your going to be without bud for a while.

good luck..

THIS WILL EXPLODE THE TRICHS BECAUSE OF THE EXTREMELY HIGH WATER CONTENT: the steam method i posted above counteracts this with a moist paper towel in an inclosed container.

The steam method was demonstrated for me in person by frozen_herb, and I wouldn't quick dry any other way. Straight microwaving your buds will get them dry, but they'll taste worse than having just steamed them.

like i said... i was in no way making fun of the plant itself just meant that for the trouble you could get into its not worth it... its not worth it for any amt really. i prefer my freedom. i hope no offense was taken.

None taken my friend. Anyway theres been a change of plans. We have alot of stuff to move. My good friend is taking a u-haul truck down in about a week. He said he wouldn't take the plants but would take the buds down. How could i have these dry for a week until they get to me?

just put them in a brown paper bag and let them sit. the bag will offer protection from light and mold while letting there be a little air exchange. i dry all my trim that way and it will keep for quiet a while in that bag.. nice and cripsy dry after a few days.

good luck on the move..

DarkCore don't take this the wrongway, but I say you chop the plants down and start fresh with a new growroom when you get settled.

You will need to do some serious research before you start b/c your friends are filling your mind with a lot of bs and myths.

Everything you will need to know about growing is here. if you need help just ask? Look at how willing Endo was to give you some great advice.

We are here to help our fellow growers and if you every need any help with anything feel free to PM me anytime.

Good luck with the move
