I just got done drying my buds and I think they may be too dry.
I chopped my plant at 15 1/2 weeks from sprout. Did a 1 1/2 week flush because they have a lot of nute burn.
I opted for a dry trim. So I cut each branch down and hung them that way (I should have just hung the whole plant (idiot mistake)).
I used clothes hangers w/ clips and safety pins.
There's an exhaust pc fan on the top, 1 on the bottom pulling air in as the intake (next grow box will be passive and no intake fan), and 1 fan on the bottom just to circulate air (not directly pointing @ plant material). I cut the fan cord above the bottom fan because this would have hit the plants (I never kept it on during drying, I cut it off before I hung).
The temp stayed a constant 73-75F degrees throughout the dry and the humidity was around 63-65% ish during the first 2 days, then slowly dropped each day until the 6th day it was 53-55%. I jarred on the 6th day because I heard the crunch/snap indicator. I checked on the 5th day and it felt close but didn't crunch/snap like it did on the 6th day.
During the dry there was a hefty hay/grass smell during the first 2 days then that slowly died down.
The smell on the 6th day was a lemon(or citrusy smell)/pine smell as I was trimming them.
Now I'm left with (weighed out to 2.4oz).
I did the dry trim and they seemed a little crunchy, but they don't shatter when squeezed.
I put them in 28oz dollar tree jars that I got for $1 each.
I can't seem to get them past 55% humidity. They're stuck there.
My plan was to burp it to around 60-62% and toss in a 8g boost pack in each jar, but they wont move past 55%.
This is on day one, not sure if they climb slowly to 62%.
They smell like weed. No hay/grass smell, just lemon/pine. I really hate their smell.
I smoked a sample and they're very effective, but wishing I went the CBD route as high THC makes my heart beat out of my chest.
Question 1: Did I mess this dry and cure up? I'm hoping the boost pack will do something. Probably not much given what I'm reading.
I now realize I should have hung the whole plant and regulated the humidity more. I really skipped some crucial details that I now regret.
Question 2: What will happen to these if I can't get them to around 62% humidity? If they're stuck at 55%.
I only go through about 1g a week of weed and sometimes less, but no more than 1g. So 2.4oz will last me more than a year and was wanting these to keep for that duration. I plan to grow my 30:1 CBD and hopefully have proper info for that grow.
Thanks for any feedback. Much love.
