Drying!

[ZuuTeD614]

So Sunday morning I got up early before my lights kicked on and chopped my Sweet Tooth x Gorilla Glue. She smells good and very sticky. I made a dry room out of my closet. Got 5 branches per cloths hanger and my Temps average 66-68 and 48-55 RH. Sometimes the Temps reach 70 but it's not a long period. I have a fan about 2-3 feet under neath trimmings on low facing the wall and it stay completely dark. Going to try and dry for 2 weeks!

IDK I have never had a plant take two weeks to dry. I read that slow dry makes them more potent? Anyway..I dry in a closet as well sometimes and with a fan running under them like that they will dry in just 5-6 days. I recommend loosing the fan and only running it if your rh gets above 60%. I dry massive 2 foot colas dense as rocks in 7-10 days with no fan. Im sure my potency stays intact. I usually hang for seven days, trim, then let the flowers lay out another day or two till they are just right and ready for the jars.

Awesome man I will have my wife cut the fan um at work, and what do you consider ready for the jar? When the bud snaps of the main branch or what?

Keep your temps right and rh right. You’ll be fine And I’d recommend a fan pointed away from the flowers. You still wanna prevent mold with circulation.

 

[DrOgkush]

I always dry around 70 or less. And 10-14 days is right for 2-3 oz harvest. If kept on stem. Never had an issue. I follow that dry and cure guide on here by fd I believe Have been for years.

 

[ZuuTeD614]

Yes I have it on the lowest setting aimed at the wall just for some circulation. And my Temps and RH is good right 50-55 percent?

Yes man I read that and what I was really going off, so the main branch won't snap it will still bend but the outside of the buds feel crispy it's ready for a jar. I'm going with that thabks

When my flower is dry enough to jar, do.i put the 62% humidity packs in the jar at the same or do.i wait to.put the humidity packs in aftwr curing is done?

50-55% is to low to start drying IMO. You need an enclosed environment with a controlled exhaust to dial in RH for optimal drying.

I start at 70% and if I'm below 55% in less than a week I've basically fucked up the process by drying to fast.

62%. I really go off that thread. My weed always smells like skunk/ how it’s supposed to now. No joke.

So I can put the 62% packs in my jar right when I'm ready to cure and let sit for 24 hours and start burping 2 times a day?

 

[DrOgkush]

As long as your bud is ready for it. And personally I don’t burp if I’m at 62% and holding. Only burp when it starts to rise.
Not being an ass. Did you read that thread? That shits pretty spot on.

 

[ZuuTeD614]

Ok yah I did. So if my humidity in my jar stays 62-65 I don't have to burp it at all?

 

[DrOgkush]

I burp anything over 62

 

[ZuuTeD614]

I burp anything over 62

Ok cool man thanks again.

 

[DrOgkush]

Of coarse. Don’t forget cured pics and smoke reports

 

[ZuuTeD614]

For sure man, I will do. I just hung it yesturday morning. I'm sure it's going to take atleast 8-10 days to dry. And I will trim it up and take some pics as it goes in the jar and will make an update. Have a good day!

I don't mean to hijack your post. If I'm doing this wrong please let me know. This is my drying dilemma. I can't really get down to 60% humidity and maintain it. I am in a tropical climate. It's either Outdoors or in the garage. What should I do?

 

[DrOgkush]

Paper bag? Idk what you mean?
