At week week 8 both had rot. i knew i didnt have proper air flow (and RH 65+) for that type of bud structure. It is firm but spongy - very leafy, and thick.
I had two females. one looked like it needed a week more to go and the other had at least two weeks to go - but i had to pull them and save what was left untouched by rot.
i cut everything into small bits and tossed everything with rot and everything surrounding the rot as well. the rest of the bits were left soaking on H2O2 for 2 minutes, fan dried, and flash dried in a 3 days.
after drying i was afraid they would be all airy, but they have a nice firmness/density - imagine a very hard memory foam and some bits are just plain hard and dense. I also thought no terpine/flavor profile would survive that drying - but it is very tasty and smells quite nice
the one that had at least two weeks to go lost many of its flavor and smell, and the high really cant be judged.
the other one that looked almost ready (pictured) retained a lot of flavor and smell (has a fruity/spearmint/lemon flavor). the high is slightly physically sedative and mentally very upbeat. with a very nice above-average potency - probably higher if you let it grow a bit more.
fortunately i have revegged clones in the tent and new fans in the cart.
