I have this set up going on, Its only a few buds harvest, maybe a quarter ounce? But I have them in a little two door box with a fan inside. It's about 71- 72 degrees in there, and the buds seem to already be crunchy. Any help would be appreciated.View attachment 1175240

take the fan out and let them dry slowly (around 7 days), then put them in a glass jar for a month. you will have no hay smell just pure ganja. speed drying is fast but ruins a crop imo

I was told to put a consistent breeze on them to keep the air circulating.

No!!!! That traps chlorophyll which makes the hay tase and smell. The linger you dry the better the smoke.

those look like small buds to me i can see like a 3-4day max for them to dry from what i heard they should feel dry to the touch and the stems should bend not crack then jar them if there too dry add orange peel or a fresh leaf till ya get a lil moisture back.this is only my second grow but learnd so much already...btw ..buds look great nice job!!

I think you are right crimepays, the stems on most of them are almost cracking, and they are like 3 days old. Think I should jar them? The heaviest bud was 7g before I hung it, so i mean they arent that big lol

def jar them, just pay enough attention to them so they dont mold on your watch or anythin.
Littler and airier buds dry real quick, and its best to dry them slow as possible

You dont want a fan blowing directly on the buds, you want the fan blowing AROUND the buds. You're just trying to keep your drying area from having stagnant air.

perfectly cured buds last a lot loner, a year +. but I would trim and hang for 7 days, then jar and open jar every day for 30 days.

Thats when it smells superb and tastes delicious

Thank you all, I can see by how harsh my bud is that the magic of curing is best.
