I reckon the real sweet spot is a humidity and temperature controlled room - This results in the best terpenes and properly dried bud. BUT - expensive electricity costs

Yeah.

A room that 60f 65rh. Not a 30f 65rh

It’s all about the sweet spot

@DrOgkush Let me get this clear? Are you trying to say the colder temperature is responsible for the “bad taste”. Cos first you swore there would be over 100% rh in there and it wud deffo turn to mold. So I guess you tested your hypothesis and proved yourself wrong? No mold? When I seen your “experiment” in the first place, that lonely bud sat open and unprotected in a dirty fridge full of dirty items, I knew it would dry this fast, I knew you’d end up with weed still full of chlorophyll. I guess sometimes u just gotta let someone waste a bud to prove a point lol!

Ok so now we cleared up that you were Infact wrong. Can we move on ? Good!

now for anyone who actually is scientifically minded and genuinely curious about the process. Here is a quote from someone whos been doing thisevery harvest for decades. This guy is believed by many to have perfected the process.



Low and Slow or (Lotus Cure) as we used to call it.
Harvest and trim fan and large leaves from plants. Wash buds. Hang to drip dry. Small fan circulating air. Can blow across buds as long as buds do not move.
Around 4 hours.
Do not remove sugar leaves. They are the buffer to protect the flowers.
Remove buds from stalks and put in canning jars. Fill jars loosely 1/2 to 2/3 full. Cover open end of jar with nylon screen and screw on cap ring. This keeps the buds from falling out during rolling or gentle shaking of jars.
Place in the crisper of a frost free refrigerator.
3 to 5 week process.
Week 1. Everyday roll or gently shake jar.
After 7 to 10 days. Take a jar out and let it come up to room temp 68F to 76F deg temp RH below 60%.
Place a humidity sensor in jar and seal. Place in dark. Wait one hour. If not between 64% and 72% RH. Replace screen and return to crisper.
Week 2 through 5. Check and roll/gentle shake every couple of days. Check RH% weekly.
Once RH% is between 64% and 72%.
Remove jars from refrigerator. Let them come up to room temp. 68F to 76F deg with RH% at 62%.
Seal jars (place a humidity sensor in one jar) and place in the dark with above parameters.
Burp jars daily. BURPING: Gently shake or roll jar before opening.
Room parameters 72F to 76F deg temp. 62% RH.
Open all jars. Place a test jar on its side with a humidity sensor inside.
Leave untill sensor reads 62%.
Before I seal each jar. I run a small fan over the top of jars. Forcing fresh air in.
Repeat process untill test jar sensor reads 62%.
Burp and seal jars for one week. Checking daily that RH is stable.
After I week. Burp jars and seal for 1 month.
After a month. Smoke, vape and enjoy.
Unopened jars burp every 4 months. Can be placed sealed in frost free fridge. And burp every 4 months.

Dirty fridge? Really. That’s all you got. From a pic of my clean ass fridge.
dude. This topic started as weed in a fridge. That’s it.
I tested it to prove myself right or wrong. And it’s was a 14 gram nug you dumb fuck.
not 75 ounces like claimed.

Drying in a fridge doesn’t work.
That’s the op. Peace and blessings

I didn’t mean like you had shit in ur fridge, I meant like it’s full of bacteria and all sorts of other nasties. But fair play, my girl would say that’s a pretty clean fridge, a scientist conducting an experiment in the same fridge would disagree. I personally would ozonate the fridge after using bleach then alchohol before I put my bud in it for 3+ weeks. But I guess that’s why I understand the process of volatilisation and how frost free fridge freezers work and you can’t seem to get your head around it.

did the weed dry? Yes? Did it grow mold? No? Then drying weed in a fridge worked. Just cause ur dumb ass can’t scientifically conduct an experiment doesn’t mean science is wrong

And continue to talk about a frost free fridge My fridge is frost free. And the op wasn talking about a freezer. Once again. It was a fridge. I just went based on the simplicity of what the op claimed That’s all
