drying

So if you live in a dry state like Colorado, you're fighting rapid/over-drying after harvest. So you've invested in environment control to really slow that dry down. You get a stem that cracks and it's ready to be jarred up! You slap a hygrometer in the jar to make sure you're not in that 70%...

Hey guys, I've run into a bit of a problem. I've finally reached that beautiful day of harvest two days ago. The problem is I'm going on vacation in two days for about a week. I thought it would be fine because it will just hang dry while im gone. But its pretty warm in my apartment, I don't...

The most important week of your grow may very well the last, when they're not even growing. Far too many times has my tight living schedule interfered with arguably the most critical and sensitive process of quality cannabis. My main problem? Colorado is consistently low in humidity. My first...

Greetings from the DarkSide, Been a wee while since I've visited, but we've been busy AF, darlings.. And in a good good way. The Alien OG Kush plants have been maturing very beautifully after my last post. However, holding out the chop until after the DarkKing returns from the desert proved...

Evening everyone, Currently got some Lemon Haze drying out but I'm still new to the grow life. Its currently on a rack drying with a heater on 24/7 (oil radiator type) an oscillating fan in the corner and my carbon fan running too. I'm worried that the weeds starting to go bad tho as I had...

Hello RIU! I go by 413MedGrower, and I've had a couple issues with drying/curing process, so I'll start from the beginning. To start my setup is as follows: 1000watt ballast Air Cooled XXL hood 4x4 tent with 6 inch exhaust fan, 6 inch fan for light 3-4 hygrometers through out tent A couple of...

Greetings, growers I'm about to harvest and dry my Blue Dream and Train Wreck plants but after analyzing my drying enviroment I started to ask myself: How am I going to dry my plants in 80°F and 70% humidity enviroment? I'm going to dry in my garage inside a cardboard box because my grow tent...

I chopped my second crop about 2 weeks ago. After maticulously researching it, I began the process of drying. After hanging upside down for between 5 to 7 days, they felt ready to be jarred. They have now been curing in jars for about a week now, however, I just tried some from different jars...

Hey folks wondering what everyone’s guess is on the maximum amount of Cannabis that could be dried in a 4x8x7ft grow tent? This could be 8 tier 2 foot drying racks throughtout the tent or what about a bunch of a trellis netting at different levels ? I want the maximum amount of cannabis...

Hello fellow growers, I have outlined some thoughts from my first grow/harvest below. I would appreciate any thoughts or comments but I know it's long winded and from an amateurs perspective, if it's too much to read then please enjoy the pictures. Harvested my plants at day 100 from seed, and...

Hello lovely people anyway how do i tell if my buds are dry enough for a good cure? I've been told they're good when the stem.makes a crack sound then told don't wait for that moment Other way is just to feel the buds and if they makes a crisp crunchy sound when squeezed they're good, just...

P.S. I have researched most of this stuff and have my own conclusions but always want to make sure I keep an open mind to other ideas and suggestions. Just wanted to put that out there so you all know I’m not being lazyzzz....lol. Questions: 1) Do you make hash, if so bubble or another form...

dried them till the stems snapped, trimmed and then threw in a jar burped and everything and for some reason they never aquired their outside dank smell but when you break up the nugs they leave a really nice smell on your fingers. somethinf i did wrong?? i dried over a period of 6 days and the...

So I grew a couple plants this year. Both had minimal amounts of bud (first time grower and had to grow outside, bad conditions etc) either way I really wanna make butter out of my leaves and stems. Here’s my big question. Do I need to dry the leaves before making butter (yes I know I have to...

Ok bear with me. First grow. I'm wondering how super dense buds at harvest could change to a bit airy a few days into drying. Drying is at @ 60%RH 65F, no fans. At this point they feel fairly loose in comparison to commercial medical nugs. My plant squeezing during flower (is that a...

the best i couldndo is 50% humidity 66 to a little lower temp for drying due to having to hide my crop will this be okay for drying curingmshould be a breeze

with my first grow ended up trimming wet, didnt really get alot of flower but whatevers its all for the fun. now my biggest concern is a place to dry this is a lowkey grow so i probably will bave to dry in my car hehehehe lemme know what you guys think any feedback will be taken for my next...

...and getting a kind of hay smell now.. so i guess something is happening - wasn't much of a smell at all yesterday I dried them for about 5 days before bagging, stems were bending kinda easy but not snapping - i left a bit of stem on each bud to prevent them from drying out too quickly, I'm...

A common issue growers encounter is mold. I know this idea is often shut down and laughed at for ignorance... But hear me out. So my buddy grew and gave me a bunch of nugs, i attempted to dry in jars and got mold. Ive looked into saving it through water curing... So the argument seems to be -...
