60-70f is ideal

You will not get much growth at those temps no. I recently found a very small 360w cubicle heater that might work for you. Hook it up to an inkbird temp controller (might run you only like 40 bucks).

Will the cold hurt it as long as it doesn't freeze?

Just trying to dry it as I don't have a place sutible inside at the moment

I would still want higher temps for drying or it will take forever and might get you mold. And in that case I would skip the heater and get a dehumidifier which produces heat anyway and a small fan blowing not directly on the buds.

Darn....I have it out this eve.. in the box..just trimmed...will try and get something tomorrow..hopefully it can hold on....

60 degrees 60% RH full plant hand 10 days works for me

I wish I could get my room to 40! lol but you want it to be a bit higher than that my man. You will be curing for a v long time at that temp

I just know it's getting down to 42 this eve and just have the cardboard box deal with a fan.
Cut sooner then I thought I would...it's outside. Hopefully the fan going with keep enough air circulation until I can fix the problem.

I think it will be okay man! keep that air circulating and prolong the cure. Any pics of what ur working with? I'd like to see the stage the leaves/buds are at!

First time here just a cardboard box with big fat buds trimmed up..laying on drying rakes with a computer fan blowing in the box. Box sealed up but not air tight .

Sounds like a decent work around for now mane!

So they are trimmed up - no more fans no more water leaves/sugar leaves? Just nuggys?

That is correct...all trimmed up ...well what I think...have one Branch done

I hang full plant. Trim bigger crispies off at day 7/8 and let her ride it out until day 10+.. Then I remove my nuggies and jar them or smoke the whole plant like a champ. How many days did you let it dry before trimming it up?

also it is confusing when I say I hang the full plant. I do a nice trim of the larger leaves and leave about 2/3 fans around each nuggy that produces a little shield of sugar and helps me retain my dank

Today is the first day I was told to wet trim..this is one Branch still working on it...many many more buds to go...first time just learning

I see! I think it looks like you have a good thing going - just now need to learn from experience of this cure. If it will retain the smell is always most important to me. Also prevention of mold - wet trimming may leave open wounds to perpetuate PM
