desperately In need of advice!

below 55% isn’t a good idea for too many days..
like 58-65..
it’s kinda ok to start out low but after a couple days get it up above 60..
keep your fan on low, your goal is a slow dry with air movement but not too much too dry them out..

okay yeah it’s hovering around 58-67 is that okay? and yeah my fan is low it is on the ground and blowing towards the wall. but so is the higher humidity the better? what’s too high of humidity?

my temperature is also like 66..

just stay between 58-65% the whole time, temps can be the same 58-65 degrees..
keep it DARK!!..

okay cool that’s what mine is hovering around and yeah i closed up all the holes and vents

i wouldn’t keep it sealed up, you need fresh air as well..
i’ve never dried my weed in a tent.. i have a cold storage room with vents i can open for fresh outside air and i’m able to control temperature and humidity..

Just going to keep repeating it......patience....

As usual, Gnick is right on.

You definitely want fresh air coming in. Open up at least 1 vent at the bottom.

Awesome job! Looks great!

afternoon everyone! temp and humidity are staying consistent so that’s good, my new humidifier with humidistat should be here wednesday. How long does it take usually to dry?

Its been anywhere from 10-18 days for me.

okay, and what am i looking for when it’s done? what i’ve read it says the branches will snap off when you bend them and that’s when it’s ready.

About a week or so but keep an eye on them and make sure they don't get too crispy.

Since you removed them from the main stem they'll dry a little faster.

okay how will i know when it’s ready?

You can do the wood meter thing but I like to start removing flower off the stems ready to start fine trimming right before you get that snap. You have to just keep checking since flowers will dry at different rates. You may want to go with the snap method since mold can be an issue but I do it right before just in case something goes wrong I still have room to correct.

okay so just check the flowers and see if they are dry or not? just make sure they don’t get to dried out right?

sorry i guess i don’t understand your message. can you explain more?

afternoon everyone! tomorrows harvest day! i going to start first by cutting off all the leaves on the buds and then chop the whole thing down. i will update the thread too. here’s some pics from today

Hey, you done good. Problems are solvable, even if real damage isn't, but you were on it, made adjustments, and it looks like things turned out quite well......even if they are Autos. ;)

Good job

Agreed. wood moisture meter is what I use, there about $25 on Amazon some are probably cheaper than that too

The one I have is usually $30 it’s on sale for $22 atm

Just something to make it easier next time you are drying, snap method works as well

i get paid wednesday so i might scoop one up then. what is a good read on the meter? like if i get it what are the numbers i’m looking for?

I think most people don't cure well/long enough. Give yourself the time for good curing and see how you like it.
