So it looks like I really screwed the pooch here. At the very least I am fucked. I got a little big for my britches and grew 6 big outdoor. Plants this summer, 2 zkittlez, 2 gelato, and 2 sunset shurb s, both in the sun and a greenhouse scrog . Gave em a lot of love all summer and they were all turning out to be my best plant ever grown.... Not any more. About week 8 flower I started a new job that keeps me from home about 18 hours a day 6 days a week. I harvested 1 zkittlez my first weekend and hung them but they hung for a week and a half and dried too much. I salvaged the bigger colas from that and was able to trim (about 8 oz) but the other 1.5 lbs I just hacked up with shears and stuffed in jars for hash someday, while I cried a bit. I left another 8 oz or so on the ground and got an hour sleep before I went back to work I still have 7 more trees with nobody to help, as I live in a redneck town we're people look down on this plant. The other zkittlez is almost 3 weeks over ripe and ending it's life so probably gonna just hack it asap and dry on screens for more hash to cook with it something. The sun grown stuff is just nearing its peak ripeness, as are the greenhouse strains left(gelato, sunset). Been in flush for a damn month because I was gonna harvest a while ago, so at this point they are just alive, but not much more. Any tips? I don't want to just hash 15 lbs of flower, or throw any away(more than I already have at least). I would be a fucktard to give up the kind of money I make at my job also. Temps here are now in the 40s to 20s so they ain't really finishing too fast, but they will freeze in the next week or 2

Why not? The middle east do it all the time. At least you will have a good supply of hash

Hash it all then press it into rosin...be the best it can be. Some real nice fire rosin from a bunch a bubble can be had here. I just helped a buddy do a entire outdoor run. We bubbled it all and then pressed the hash. He was thrilled with the results. Rosin is waaaay better than hash. Just an idea.
Have a great day all! Peace, negative.

A freezer can be a handy option at times.

I don't have any miracle tips for you but if you're determined to get the most of what you can then I would say focus primarily on the stuff that's still looking good and the stuff that's already in trouble turn into hash. It's going to be hard to save much of anything with a schedule like you described so maybe stock up on energy drinks and coffee and be prepared to lose some sleep for a while. Maybe see if you can hold off until your day off and then spend your day off harvesting and trimming. I would also add that maybe you're being a bit hard on yourself with saying you fucked up or screwed the pooch. I get that maybe it feels like that at the moment but back when you started these plants I'm guessing you weren't expecting to have the job you do now. Shit happens and your head is in the right place if you're prioritizing a good paying job over weed. Again it might not quite feel like it at the moment but once you get past all this you'll start to feel better. Do you have any out of town friends you can call on to help you maybe in exchange for a generous donation of weed?

Save the best, then hash, and/or oil.

Sometimes there's just too much going on for the amount of energy.

A freezer (even chep sh one) is not a bad investment if you want at least to keep the colas. The rest I would just gather a lot and do hash out of it. Better than throwing it away. Can sit in the freezer while waiting to be processed as well. Good luck, man!

Store it in a freezer if you have to and then make ice/water hashish.
I've done this a few times and plan on making some soon again.
