I want to start out by saying this is my first time growing , I’m new to this whole process and I don’t have special equipment.
I recently had to trim the top half of some of my plants (they weren’t all the way ripe yet), due to spider mites rotting out some of the buds. (Grown outside- in pots not the ground )
I hung them up to dry in my room over the curtain rod of a window , ac is kept on 76 in the house (which is pretty cool) and fans on. Didn’t have any lights on and shutters closed but light still peaked through. (Tv was kept on tho) The first morning from hanging, it got super hot in my room for some reason. They seemed to be fine , since then it hasn’t been as hot in here.
When I cut them I trimmed the leaves off halfway and left the small and some parts, kind of made it even as possible though. My concern is , it’s day 2 and what leaves were left are dry and crumbly to the touch. When I squeeze into the bud, it feels sticky still (however if I was to put my hand around the whole thing hanging- it feels more dried and crumbly then anything it’s when I push my fingers into the buds where I get the slight hope that they aren’t as bad as I’m thinking) and doesn’t feel like it’s as dry as the leaves and looks ok but I’m unsure cause remember some buds were rotted from the spiders. I tried to break the end of a stem (light but firm pressure) and it seemed like it just wasn’t budging , unless I applied more force . But I didn’t . I broke off a tiny little bud and it felt sticky, good texture didn’t feel like crumbly dry but idk cause it was pretty small (don’t want to mess with the big good buds)
My plan was to hang dry for a week and then go on with the process but I feel like maybe I already fucked it up? Since the leaves around it completely crumble to the touch.
I moved it into a darker room, fan on, it’s still on window curtain rods but the shutters are mainly covered up in this room so not near as much light is shining on them and it is cooler in the room. Ac vent is below the window (idk if this is a problem or not)
Please help, any suggestions at all would be greatly appreciated!!! For my current problem and other curing tips or revive methods!
