Review of the HerbsNow Dryer for Drying Cannabis | Grow Weed Easy

do you really need a calculator to calculate if the buds are dry?

It's more about getting in that optimal RH and Temp to fit in the 7-9 day goldilocks zone. You don't want buds to dry to fast and too long is just as bad. There was some surprisingly good research to go along with that calculator, but I didn't bother to save that lol. I've been growing a long time , and it's honestly one of the most useful tools I've come across. I used it with my last dry and it was actually pretty spot on with what I would consider dry and ready for cure. I tweaked my RH slightly to go with my ambient temps.

I'll add that I've never used a machine to dry my herb. Just a dehumidifier that I could set to 58. I've also found that when I was certain the buds were dry after 6 days(branch snap test) I jarred them to start to cure. Next day a good bit of the herb seemed to be about how it was on day 2 or 3 of drying. So big brown paper bag that I didn't seal, just rolled the opening several times. But that was perfect for finishing my dry.

Good work broseph!!! At that finish line BAYBAY!! If I had to guess, 3-4oz each girl. Imagining each of your main cola's is probably 7g's or more is where I got my estimate. Do share your harvest efforts! I love that purple. Shit I won't be smoking it, but I'm excited to hear the difference in the buzz from them.

well since that's whole cola/branch pre-trim weight. 6oz on the purp, 5.11oz on the cookies. I'd imagine half or slightly less of the current weight. I know in my reading over the years, expecting 20% drop in yield was common when weighing well trimmed bud wet.

I know since my grows are personal I don't go crazy with the trimming, Those Trich's on the sugar leaves are worth burning IMO, though they detract from bag appeal. Keep us posted! temp when drying, relative humidity, etc.

Overall it went far better than I expected now hopefully I can dry and cure without mold.

Currently managing to keep the tent at 60f/60% RH

One thing preached to me by many - no standard is perfect for every grow situation; though the science numbers are crucial there's always wiggle room. 60/60 is common, and you're vigilant and diligent. No joke growmie ---- your efforts are perfect refreshers for my 2-3 week harvest from now. Lol so w/e comes of all this convo and what you do is solid education for me bongsmilieo_O:-D
