I did trim the majority of leaves off before drying.

So im on day 12 of drying and the buds don't seem any more dry . How long generally would a whole plant take ? I'll post a picture

This is where I believe a moisture meter comes in super hand . Because with it you can check the stem before the bud . It should read 13-14% from what I understand and the bud 12% . But it can be tricky getting a good reading from the bud . The larger the stem , the longer it will take to dry ...

Thanks for the insight and info man ! I'm planning to give the Grove Bags a shot for curing. Only hearing great things and just makes it too easy

Also does anyone else use a moisture meter ? If so what do you guys look for?

So I guess when they cure the outsides will regain moisture and even more scent I assume? Because right now they're so brittle on the outside

Hi guys , so im 10 days into drying now 2 full plants . They've been drying at 60/60% the whole time. Moisture meter on the bud is reading about 16 -17% so I'm assuming a few more days to go. Is it normal however that touching and feeling the buds they almost seem brittle and too dry . Is this...

Thank you !

Haha that's awesome . Well good to know I suppose . I'm worrying the batch is not good. But the plants got good attention growing , they are drying at 60/60% or as close to . It's been 7 days drying. Using a moisture meter waiting for the flower to hit about 12% and the stem about 13%-14%...

This is what I'm hoping for . Hoping the smell will come back during curing.

Thanks for the reply on that!

How essential is a fan in the drying room ? Is it to prevent mold mainly ? I know it circulates air , but If u didn't use one and the crop dries without , it should be all good ?

Air is moving yes. And when I chopped the plants they smelt good . Like normal when they flower . They had good aroma

Hi guys, so it's been 5 days now since I chopped my 2 autos . They've been drying at 60/60% and for some reason the dry room and all the bud smells like pure hay . Is this normal? This is my first time so I don't know what to expect . I understand the smell should come back during curing ?

Yah it's been a new toy for me as well. Just been experiencing with it trying to get the hang of it and see if I can learn anything

Not necessarily . The moisture reads the amount of moisture inside the bud . The resin and how sticky is more so the oils in the trichomes of the bud . Not so related to the moisture within the bud

So would u say dry to 12% or 15% with the meter ? If u dry to 12% will they regain moisture during curing?

I've heard 12% as well But oddly enough cured buds with a 62% humidity pack in there with them test at 15.8% .

So I have it in a decent size storage room . No fan on at the moment
