Finally cut down my blue dream ,
So does this drying setup look okay?
I have a 4in ac infinity fan with filter on setting 4 on constantly extracting air while
Drawing in fresh air from the duct vents
Temp and humidty are staying between
65-70 and humidity at 45-50%
Will these conditions and set up do just fine ?

I cut one into branches & the other one im gonna hang whole .
Also should i trim more off i got most of the fan leaves off that i could get too ..
Ill be trimming the rest off once its dry20201201_103022.jpgScreenshot_20201201-134607_Instagram.jpg

I've always trimmed before drying. You lose a lot of trichomes trimming dry. Explosive trichomes ejection lol. If you trim dry, do it over a glass table and scrape up the trichs like you're doing coke.

Since you are hanging branches... I'd shoot for a higher RH. They will dry out in 5-6 days and that's too soon. Maybe 65%.
Maybe someone with more exp can chime in on what I'm throwin your way. I only harvested twice so far. 3rd is in another month or so.
I kept temps between 64-69F and RH at 60%. I hung branches as well. It dried faster than it should have at 7 days. Taste was affected, but the high wasn't. The bubble hash was great.

I done a basic leaf removal, I couldn’t be bothered trimming them I'll probably do it as I need it, I absolutely hate the job. View attachment 4757387

Its my first grow and my goal was just too be able to keep them alive and and not run into major issues also try out diffrent techniques too see what works best for me they were grown outdoors from clones brought them home and just put em outside so they started flowering immediately
 
At the moment also i just have the inline fan with the filter so ill have to get a humidifier .. what about a fan should i have one in there for air circulation ?

i bet it is some stinky stuff
 
Just dont let humidity drop below 50%. The buds will be drying faster than they should under 50% , and then you are sacrificing quality to smoke asap... Takes patience during the drying process. Ima leave mine on the stems for 7-10 days in darkness, 55%RH and good ventilation , slight breeze, no wind hitting buds. 70* temp

I hang wet towels for added humidity sometimes, anyone else ? Lol
