Low Humidity

Some of you fellers would be in a constant state of anxious terror, if you experienced the shockingly low RH levels that I cultivate successfully with in the deep winter months.......Let alone the hang/dry/cure....
Some of you may indeed, actually brown your trousers.
The "Really, really, low RH" drying method cannot be described in written word, it has to be experienced firsthand.
Then again, I aint tryin' to compete for The Cannabis Cup either.....

So why would you worry about mold if you say you have dried it below the level where it could mold? That makes about as much sense as the rest of your writing. This thing I say about homogeneous weed is not coming from me, I gleaned this info from other sources. I have used it and notice a difference in my bud. If that were not the case we could just throw our dry dope in a paper bag! It won’t mold there but it will turn into bone dry garbage and smoke super harsh! You do want to maintain a certain degree of moisture in your dope man. It’s no different than cigars and humidors. Dispute that and I’ll call you a liar bold faced.

Now thats where i think peeps went wrong using cigar/tobacco info years ago.

It wont be the first time members have pointed out that weed is different both in dry cure and the way it smokes to tobacco plus contains a resinous layer.

I cannot see any reason we should follow tobacco processes, we have seperate weed drying processes and a different product.


You can make a process work but its not optimun and not needed as many have said.

Explain what this bone dry weed is? Is it when you buy weed of a dealer and leave it on the table and it turns to dust? Or when you leave your bud out to dry for a few weeks and it turns to dust? Sounds pretty scary like i should follow you or i will defo fuck up my whole harvest.....!

No conception of what this bone dry weed is you talk off and why your trying to scare everyone of the easiest and best method for drying and curing.

First you cite tobacco then bone dry bud.... I would ask why i am not experiencing this over many years and why i again would need to jar weed that is still giving off moisture?

Personally i prefer weed on the dry side, it grinds, burns and smokes much better than weed with your moisture levels - wtf dosent.

Had you given an objective overview of drying and curing you would most likely find a more interesting discussion, trolling one way and scaring everyone away from our methods with fear of over dried bud and some magic cure at some ridiculous humidity is just plain disgraceful and will always meet with i and others having little respect here for you.

Simply trolling your ego is nay good, rewriting the knowledge that has always been here a much more productive use of your time.

Did you ever or do you own an led grow light?

I do hang my weed to dry, but I don’t dry it totally crispy either. I leave a tad of moisture in it so that I can cure it properly. I’m an outdoor grower that is starting plants indoors. Because of this my weed must last me an entire year, I don’t flower in the house- stinks too much! And Inhave a large greenhouse which in my opinion produces nicer tasting weed than indoor anyway because I can switch to true organic soil. You know the kind made of compost and manure and stuff! No need to flush my weed, just let it finish. No need to add molasses or shit from a plastic jar.

What breakdown happens from extending the dry?

Are you on about the 'Frement Period' tobacco driers use before drying till it smokes? Because we dont want that breakdown and produce a non fremented non bleached product.

Its such a shame this site got trolled with this bad info, so much to talk about drying and curing.

Have you noticed that bud never smooths out till two weeks have passed reguardless that it dried in a week? You get a more harsh make you cough smoke.

Why do so many struggle to dry, i dont care its forty celcius and ten percent humidity outdoors, can you not bring your house down to normal habital levels and create a nice environment to live which will also be perfect for a tent, big ass light and also drying bud?

.....If the answers no then you suck, stop growing weed and work your life out first, even if i lived in the desert my house would be climate controlled is the answer to that thread

so your suggestion is to spend thousands of dollars to climate control my house so I can dry a couple of plants. yup that is a lot of help

Slow down kingrow this is the point you loose people. You've been doing great keep your head on bud. You know from previous posts we agree on drying.

Ok team RIU! I get both sides of this. My house is super low RH in the winter too. I still don't see any benefit of jaring wet weed. I didn't years ago when I tried it and I still don't. But you don't have to climate control your whole house to solve low RH issues.

When I put my buds in the closet to dry the RH spikes from the wet buds. I use a fan to move that air around but I dot blow it on the buds. Usually I'll flip them part way trough the week of drying and check on how they feel. It doesn't matter that my house has low RH because my drying space is much more confined. In the summer I have to leave the door open and increase my air flow. It takes a few days longer in the summer to because of high RH but the same process works flawlessly. If you really couldn't keep your buds from drying slow enough like that try hanging them with some of the fan leaves. That will hold more moisture in the plant and slow down the process.

So many people have also forgotten about our old friend the paper bag. Rather then putting partially dry buds in a jar and burping them. Try using the old school paper bag method. 2-4 days does an amazing job equalizing the humidity in the buds. Then when they come out they are perfectly how you like them. I don't need a hygrometer to tell me if my bud is dry and I don't have any need to buy boveda packs or anything else to do my job for me.

He's a pretender who has not harvested even one plant. He talks about an outdoor grow of 1978 pre-paraquat weed seeds. Weed was heavily hit with Paraquat starting in 1976 and they did trials before that. But has no clue when to move a plant outdoors!

I'm from Southern California if I wanted to climate control my house it would easily be over $2,000/mo in electricity. Giving my weed 24 hours in 10% and then bagging it in grocery bags works perfectly. Then I move to jars.

What kind of an outdoor grower asks the below? It is one of the first skills one learns, when to plant one's annual garden. So this is the sort of question that makes you look not so much ignorant as a big pretender.

This goes hand in hand with your pre-paraquat weed from 1978. I know folks who remember paraquat, and it happened years earlier. If you want to be respected as a provider of information, you have a basic duty to make sure your information is fact.

Worst, you actually seem to enjoy sabotaging newb grows with bad advice - not-fact bad as well as malicious bad. This puts the tarnish on your sought persona as "a kind dispenser of good advice based on experience". What you actually are proving to be is an uninformed blowhard who'll gladly feed the real, consequential grows of new growers into the shredder of your insatiable ego.

And that is why I will post these expositions. New growers need to be careful of whose advice they'll entrust their crop to.

Ok here’s the question for y’all out there. I figure this is zone specific? I started from seed some hybrids beginning of January and I live near Kamloops BC. The typical planting season here is the beginning of May. I will be growing in a 12 foot tall greenhouse.
My question is when would it be optimal to move indoor plants outdoors to get them as large as possible? Without tripping them too soon?

You come onto these forums and pick on the most inexperienced and most financially vulnerable growers, the beginners. You use information you gathered from the internet as evidenced by the questions you ask and the pictures you posted of your seedlings.

There is no problem giving information you merely read and being a first time grower if you TELL THEM that. Sort of a Surgeon General's style warning that your advice has not been tried by you. That is why I watch you. Because you prey on the newbies to undeservedly puff your own ego with crap you've only read while those kids will assume the risk of your self-aggrandizing in their grow rooms, quite possibly to their own financial detriment.

Yes that exactly but ontop of this once in a lifetime special offer here at weedgrow.con we want to give you more and we can....

so im going to right of the bat throw in peace of mind that your wife and kids wont leave you for that guy back in high school because he now has climate control.

Then we have as standard the 'No pet will die from heat exhaustion' tripple star care add on for one day only if you take this offer.

And just when you think could this shit get any better.... Im going to hit you with our five year gurantee that should any old folks pop their clogs due to overheating we will replace them with a similar model and toilet needs.

So there you have it, how many can i put you down for?
