Drying in the fridge

I've read some conflicting reports about drying in the fridge. There was a thread I read on thcfarmer from a user who had success with that drying method.


Curious if anyone has tried this. My next harvest is coming up when I am going to be away for a week. So my options are going to be to either leave the plants growing at the end of the flowering cycle for a week unattended which means they will not be watered and I am not around in case of fire/emergency/whatever which I'm not keen on or chop and then dry over the course of the week I am gone. I put my hygrometer in my fridge and it was about 40F with 40% RF. Thoughts on fridge drying? Have you done it? What's the best way of doing this?

Seems like you want to have large branches, in paper bags laid flat.

So what say you rollitup?

Chop the stalk and hang the entire plant with all the leaves while your gone. I have not dried in a fridge but hanging whole, in a basement or cellar preferably, with a dehumidifier set at 60-65 should be golden for the week

If you had a wine fridge that allowed for temp and humidity control to dial in the 60 degrees and 60% rh, then sure, a fridge would work.
