Mine always drys in 3 days I live in the desert. No matter what I do it seems to be jar able in 3 days I don't even brown paper bag it. Does anyone know how to get a slow dry in the desert.

Use to live in AZ, had to run a humidifier ;) Now I'm in America's Heartland and I have a hard time getting it to burn in a doobie. 1 week hanging and into the jars. I miss the desert growing

Here's a good way to kick up the humidity in your house.

I grow in the desert too and my RH has been teetering around 10%-17% for a while (since I bought my hydrometer to actually measure it a month ago).

Just today I put a big pot of water on the stove at low heat. It boiled for two hours and I watched the RH in my grow room climb from 10% to now 28% within a couple of hours, and still climbing. That may help you dry a little more slowly.

Why? A fast dry ensures a lower quality smoke and a halt to the curing process.

So you're going to boil water for 2 weeks everyday while your plants dry?

Dude im in Colorado, hang the whole plant, it will extend to 4-5, trim... Put in paper bag 2-3 days.... Then jar and check rh. It shoukd be 62-63 .. Jar and burp.. This is with the humidity level at 20-30%



the thing is, you cant dry and cure the cali way or east coast way.... Its smokable after the above formula without curing but jarring it just makes it stickier, not sure why this happens this way, but it does

Yes, you can dry and cure the "CALI" way, and the "EAST COAST" way, because there is only ONE WAY. Jarring your bud doesn't make it stickier, just no.

Haha whatever dude, i know what works here and what doesn't. So youre saying youre right and the hundreds of master growers i know here in Colorado are wrong? Nothing you say will convince me if anything different, i know by years of experience growing in a dry climate, and yes... The curing MADE my bud stickier than what wasnt cured.

and what i mean about the cali and east coast way.... You cant dry your plant here thinking your humidity levels are over 60%, you have to dry knowing the RH is 20%.
