Tomorrow is harvest day! Question about drying

Sometimes the temp is not a variable you can control when your space is limited and it is in the middle of winter. MY drying area is too warm now, but that is life. I just give them more stem for their drying.

Yeh its cold here in the winter, 55-60f in an unheated room, this is when i first found out how long it takes to dry at those temps
and from what i can recall it was something like 3 weeks, i had no issues with mold, it was a dense NL too, was a long time ago

i can leave buds to test in my grow room which is 85f that will take 5 days still to dry
my other rooms are 70-75 it takes about 7-10 days in those temps

i find keeping it on the sticks is convenient now, also i like the way the bud dries sticky and brittle on the surface
if i had nugged it up before drying it does not dry so sticky, more spongy
when its cured it all ends up the same i find,

i like smoking a little before the cure when its in that very sticky crunchy state when dried on stems
the flavour is quite nice, different at this stage

peace

3 weeks at those temps would waste most strains.70 to 75 is the best i agree and apparently so does the rest the planet...but not professor powdery mildew..lmao.

i personally would nug it up if i were drying at those cold temps i would not leave it as colas just to be on the safe side
it really does take something like 3 weeks at those temps

mold should not be a problem if the moisture can freely escape just some air movement around the bud

i can remember leaving some wet bud in a bag by mistake i caught it just before any visible mold
but it still made all the bud smell like ammonia

can u just leave me alone..i dont care to waste my time engaging w u in any way..ur dismissed

What? I guess there was supposed to be another attempt at an insult, only I can't understand what you are trying to say. I can only assume that you were some how trying to engage me over my name. It was given to me by the other members of my growing community as they feel I have earned it. They know who they are and why they gave it to me. Nice try, but try again.

I am not dumb enough to let my ganja mold. High temps or low temps, as long as the air keeps moving and yo RH is not through the roof, you will be fine. James, go back to the kiddie table and borrow some books so you can learn how to read and write.
