Drying in a Tropical Climate

I just harvested my plant and was wondering how many days should I hang dry my plant (whole)? My temperature is 80-82f (There’s no way for me to install a/c since I am using my bathroom with exhaust) and 50-60% rh. I know I will lose some terpene profile, please give me advice!

For a plant, for which it flowers can cost from $15-$25 A single gram. With the product in your hand worth ~$120+.

You need to find an AC.

Unfortunately, the only room that has an AC is my bedroom with my 3 month old infant daughter. I worry that the smell might be too overwhelming to her.

She's more important then the weed will ever be. Don't mix the two.

Your only option is to locate a tiny $150 window unit.

I've never done it but research , "Cannabis Water Cure". It may be an option for you.

I just did a quick run-through, if I can somehow salvage some terpene profile with the normal drying and curing, I’d prefer it than water-cure. I have a small branch that I started drying 3 days ago, the bud is still sticky and darkened slightly. Should I push for a day or two or start curing it due to my temperature?

Freezer dry marijuana looks interesting.

It not the only option.

dry until it feels crispy and then begin cure.

keep checking it every day to see if it needs dumping out for a bit of time to crisp back up.

is it an ideal temperature - no.

does he need to go out and spend more money on an AC unit and get it installed - fuck no.

Your going to need to feel your way through this process with the higher temps.

will it be problematic - most likely as it’s all new.

just hang until crispy and do the above info.

You certainly don’t need to be going out and spending money on an AC Just to get some bud dry and then subsequently smoked.

Saw a portable ac (ultra air cube) 30 bucks might help for a bathroom

Unfortunately, portable ac barely puts a dent in the temps

with that temp and rh% id be worried about mold.

I have well ventilated bathroom so I don’t think mold would be an issue

ya sorry i misread your post
50-60% rh is actually ideal for drying. its your temp thats going to be the issue.

Drop the temperature and the RH might go up. I would just wait to see what happens. Just keep the air moving over them.
