Drying in a fridge

How’s it going ?
Whats it been. 6 days? It’s drying. For sure. And honestly. At about the same rate as I’d do in correct conditions. I’m surprised. But terpenes. As far aroma. Gone! Smells like fridge. Not bad. Cold crisp smell. But still drying too. It’s not done. It’s a very small bud. Prolly around 4-5 grams after dry. So I can’t speak for An entire plant.

Brilliant that means it’s working, the smell, or lack of smell, means that those terps you seek are staying put, they’re not volatilising and leaving the material. I’m stoked for you to try some when it’s all done, have you taken any readings of temp or humidity inside the fridge?

this is what has peaked my interest...every quote you and the others have posted from the other threads had people mention "omg the terps!" when it was finished. so i have to see how legit this is...first ive heard of using a fridge to dry ganja with though

39 overnight. 39-42 during the day.
Rh is always around 60-65%. What it’s set to.

People been doing it for years, the dr ziggy thread seems to be the most comprehensive piece. There’s a guy on there who is believed by many to have perfected it.

To begin with, the humidity in your refrigerator freezer is around 90%, you end up drying the weed twice and it turns to dust. Been there. Weigh your weed while its drying, just a couple buds or branches every day. It loses 30% the first day. When the daily weight loss gets below 10% its dry enough to cure.

I did weigh it every day. And everything your saying is wrong. It didn’t even experience weight loss the first 2 days bud. And again.

you have a fridge. And a freezer. I used a fridge Not a freezer. Like the op asked.

You’d think if this were a thing all commercial ops would dry in walk in coolers, but it’s not

@DrOgkush why didn't you document your experiment at all?
