drying

Germination: After 17 hours in the pH balanced spring water, transfered to a wet paper towel for 48 hours, keeping the paper towel wet and temp at 75-85F. 2 of the 3 sprouted within the 48 hours with just over 1/4 in taproot, the 3rd took 24 hours more. Seeds transfered to 3gal pots with 65%...

Hey all, I just started drying two autoflower plants after harvesting 3 days ago. The RH has been between 55 and 60 according to my inkbird thermometer, temps around 67F. After just 3 days the buds are pretty crispy; the small stems are not snapping yet but seem very close. I have never dried...

I'm wondering if air exchange is important for a dry, or if it is only used as a tool for stabilizing RH and temps. In other words, if the humidity is on the lower side, can one just turn off the exhaust to keep the humidity up? Will this impact aroma/taste if air is not being exchanged...

I live in Europe so shipping and customs fees from the US are huge for a HerbsNow dryer. As a result, I've been searching for weeks to find a dehydrator that hits that 20°C / 68°F temperature and I finally found one! I know that most folks will say to air dry and I get the reasons why... but...

Hi folks, Thanks in advance for your patience with a naive newbie. I'm getting into growing and am worried about my drying first harvest given that its 90% humidity here. The Cannatrol seems like the dream machine but getting it shipped to Europe would almost double it's price. So...

Just throwing it out there... I HATE TRIMMING!!!! Was up till 5:15am last night, up at 6:30am for work. Zombie mode. Got through about half of one tent. Still got the rest and a 3x3 to go. Round 2 tonight, plan is to conquer the rest this go. I'll take some action shots. This thread is for...

Hello guys, I'm new here. I have a question that really bothers me and I can't find a solution. In about 1 month or so I'm expecting to harvest the buds out of my Autoflower skunk plant. The problem is, I don't have anywhere to dry them since I don't live alone. I have some abandoned houses near...

Hi, I'm looking for recommendations for what to do with my lights after harvest. I'm hoping that I can keep the lights off and raised at the top, and hang the plants right under. My plants are getting very tall, though; my grow space will be maximized. I am about 2 months from harvest. For any...

Upping my cure game with a cure puck from twister technologies. In short it’s a device made to automate the cure process. You mount on a drum or tote and it will automatically burp for you. Remote monitoring is also available so I can get alerts if moisture gets too high or just check on it...

Hi, as per title, is this too high for drying or maybe I should let the RH go up to 70% ? temp is about 70F, I am lucky with the weather here at the moment I'm afraid of getting mold so have my exhaust fan set to kick in > 65%, have a small fan blowing underneath my buds (which are hanging...

So I messed up. I have multiple seeds from multiple strains I have harvest drying out in a room. These were all harvested at different times. So I went to package up a GDPxMSG bunch of seeds that I had made to put them in the fridge for storage that have been drying for about 20-25 days...

Hello all I’m hoping someone here can help come to a conclusion of what our problem may be. Recently our dried nuggets have been poofing when you squish them. I know you’re thinking poofing??? I mean a scary poof shit looks like it mists and like the mummy coming out in streams into the air...

I have just completed my 4th grow! Each one has been a little different each time, and Ive been using several techniques to learn as I grow. Just to preface, this particular grow started from seed inside, was sexed, and then put back into vegetation outdoor. I did not use any fertilizer, and...

Hi all, I’m relatively new to growing and don’t have a ton of experience so I’m wondering if those with more experience can answer this question: Has anyone noticed (anecdotally) a difference in the smell of your buds if they have more sugar leaves or less sugar leaves? Specifically, if your...

Wondering about others drying techniques, my buds don't smell skunky and I'm wondering if it was my drying technique. A bud that I pulled to test for trichomes smell amazing and tasted great, it dried in my desk drawer for 4 days. My harvest dried over 9 days in my tent at 60% humidity and 60...

hi folks, i am currently thinking about drying my weed in an old abandoned shed in the woods. my plants should be ready for harvest late september / early october. i was wondering if this was even possible and, if so, what are the materials needed? i know i would need a dehumidifier definitely...

hello all. first time using a forum, and very new to growing so please forgive me if its a rookie effort. i grew a nice plant here on the east coast of australia, trimmed the branches about 10 days ago and hung in the darkest driest room of our house with a fan pointed at them. problem is we are...

Everyone likes to talk about how important it is to keep your temps low for drying but I Don’t say many saying how? I have no problem dialing in my temps for the grow cycle but I have a hard time getting my temps below 67F when drying in there. Does anybody have any inexpensive ways to cool...

Hi all, I cut up my girls and hung them upside down inside the grow box. They are totally dark, they have two 16w fans that move the air inside but do not point directly at the flowers but move them slightly, maybe the air bounces off the wall but it is really delicate the jet, the extractor set...
