Best drying method

I guess I’m just lucky living in Oregon but I hang them in my closet.
Never had a bud crumble to dust or get moldy.
About 5-7 days and they’re in the curing jars where you can baby them over time.

There's no link. I've never read anything about it.


I grow in a dedicated grow room. Lots of times, different plants ripen at different times. So the grow room can't be used as a dry room.

I have a 2'x4'x6' tent. It's laid on its side. So it's six feet long.

4" inline blower. Inkbird humidity controller that's been calibrated using the salt slurry method. A tiny desk fan. It's probably 4". Regular sized humidifier.


Once I cut a plant. The branches are hung in the tent. The humidity controller is set at 53% with 5% difference. On the plug it has, 'Work 1' and 'Work 2'.

The humidifier is plugged into Work 1.

The inline blower is plugged into Work 2.

If the humidity falls. The humidifier comes on. If the humidity rises about 53%. The blower comes on and sucks the excess moisture out.

The tiny desk fan provides air movement inside the tent.

.....


The room to where the tent is placed is both humidity and temperature controlled. ~40% and a temperature of 68°-75°F

About 7-9 days later. Dry trimmed and jarred up.

My humidity is constantly rising due to my damn turtle tank, but it makes controlling it for drying easy because I just have to set my dehumidifier to my target and leave it on 24/7. There are lots of roads to the same destination as far as drying is concerned, but I think the best all have slowing the process down in common.

I need to take some bleach wipes and clean the tent. I have 7 days left till ripe. I'm not in a hurry. Everything is ready to go.

After everything is in the tent. Then I get the enjoyment of washing jars. Full of waterproof, sticky resin. Before the dish washer. The jars are sprayed with a degreaser and scrubbed out.

After the buds are jarred. I'll order more of the humidity packs. 62%. Because some of these jars will be a year old before they're opened again.

Does the humidity packs effect smell? You betcha. But it is what it is and I'm not smoking old dry weed.

I recently purchase some bags from Grove Bags. I've heard great things about them on the internet and am excited to cure in them. Do you guys have any experience using these?

Yep! I discovered them early last year. Best product to come along for the cannabis industry in a long time IMO. Simply amazing how well they retain terpenes, flavor and color. And you can cure in them! My only gripe is with their 1 oz. bags, which are ridiculously narrow. The 1/4 lb and 1 lb bags ROCK.
