Just tape the buds to your HPS or MH bulbs and you'll be ready to smoke in 5 minutes.
Don't forget to scrape off the resin left on the bulb, it's the best part.
ahh man that works wonders. I do it all the time, friggin the resin on the bulb after makes some of the best concentrates.:weed:

any other suggestions? what if i where to put a heater in the camper? would that decrease the humidity
No not really once it heats the air it will just spread the moisture out but will reduce little if any.

The only real way to drop the humidity is condense the moisture out of the air.. which is what a dehumidifier would do.

lol i found a thread on here that said you can dry straight from harvest in jars in 5 days with rice to absorb water. lol

Low humidity here. I hang branches with trimmed buds in a closet, usualy 2nd, third day at best they start getting crispy on the outside. I bag them in paper bags and close the top, that usually will slow the drying for a few more days. Then when the outside starts to get crispy I trim buds off the branches and jar em.

Don't know if is cos ive only had small autos to harvest so far, or because of my rh (currently at around 50 in the daytime) but my hang dry plants feel dry are a few days so currently in jars, but with open lids....slows down drying in fact they are at around 62 rh right in the cure zone after 3 days! I have been occasionally closing the lids to let the moisture re balance throughout the buds. All the nugs i had chopped off the plant were in shoebox under the hanging ones, just in a cupboard with a fan blowing in

Quick dry - 10 days in the freezer in a bag with it open then 2 days in the open to defrost

Long dry - Cut plant down, hang to dry till the stems snap but not completely off, cure in jars for a month

when curing in jars should it still be in a dark room with no light? or could it be in a everyday room with day light?
