it’s kinda dry not crispy but you can tell there’s stil some moisture and it’s been drying since sunday, might just start curing nowHow dry is your bud? If you dried too quickly or too long, you might get the hay smell.

yeah i hope when i cute the smell goes awayI tried moving a fan into my drying closet and pointing it at a tray of water on a chair. No wind directly hitting the plant.
It still had a hay smell for a month but the pine and something else smells came back in the jar cure.
someone did mention the groove bags before. i didn’t think to fry by weightI’m surprised (maybe I missed it) I didn’t see anyone mention drying by weight. Weigh a nug/or branch. Wait a day and weigh it again. The weight will keep decreasing until it’s dry.
Wood moisture meters are neat too, this is what I use in combination with a little squeeze to feel it. Should have a little crunch.
Lastly is no one is going to mention grove bags? I haven’t used them yet but people swear by them. No more burping mason jars.
I hang mine higher, off the closet shelf with fan chair seat high. I put a shallow tray or Tupperware of water on the seat if needed. Fan blows down to floor or water depending.no my fans on low and high up my buds a lower to the ground. can i just open my tent at night for a little so it’s still dark and fresh air can come in?
I have the round hanging one. Use it for leaves and stems.i wanted to order a drying rack and cut them into smaller branches
what does the tupperware of water and fan do? could you explain more?I hang mine higher, off the closet shelf with fan chair seat high. I put a shallow tray or Tupperware of water on the seat if needed. Fan blows down to floor or water depending.
If you’re going to leave it open it need to be dark and I’d only do it for a while. It just needs to swap with fresh air.
If you had a inch gap under the door with the fan blowing lightly at it that would be enough. You want the air to stay pretty consistent. You’re trying to make it like a humidor.

The wooden folding clothes ones work too.
Same as inside your tent. If you need humidity quick and can’t spray put a container of water in and have air pass over it. The wider the container the better. Shallow I prefer. Add ice for a poor mans A/C.what does the tupperware of water and fan do? could you explain more?
Cool. Fan by hand for a couple of minutes if there is no air movement.okay yeah might just open it for like 5 or 10 mins so it swaps air out, yeah i was looking at the ACI 4 tower 18 in diameter drying rack it’s only 20 bucks
okay that’s make sense so just like something to keep it cool? i could do that in my tent right?Same as inside your tent.

If you’re doing this in your tent you should be able to control this pretty easy.
There is a clear guard on the scope you can push against the bud. Once you focus to the lvl it makes it easier to then tap against other buds and turn it while using phone to activate. Snipping off parts of buds work well but I don't that much.How do you keep your hand from shaking when you go macro like that or do you have a stand to steady the shot?
I used ice last heat wave because I didn’t have the ACI T6 then. But I’ll do it again if needed.okay that’s make sense so just like something to keep it cool? i could do that in my tent right?
That small fan should point away from the plant. A little wind burn on a live plant is no big deal IMO but it could dry out to fast in dry/cure process. You just want the air to move for even drying.but okay yeah when i open it again i will fan by hand. i do have a small fan going too
I use grove bags as well, I still need to burp the first few days, in the end I prefer checking in the buds anyways so mason jars are here to ok stay lol, I believe we discussed the them thoughI’m surprised (maybe I missed it) I didn’t see anyone mention drying by weight. Weigh a nug/or branch. Wait a day and weigh it again. The weight will keep decreasing until it’s dry.

I always have a fan running in my room lol if I’m in a big rush I shake the jar lightly to separate the buds and open each jar, then hold each jar in front of the fan for about 15 seconds, once all are done I re-lid them and put them back away, that’s my quick burp days though lolSame as inside your tent.

okay and on a normal burp day, what do you do?I always have a fan running in my room lol if I’m in a big rush I shake the jar lightly to separate the buds and open each jar, then hold each jar in front of the fan for about 15 seconds, once all are done I re-lid them and put them back away, that’s my quick burp days though lol
Same as what we all discussed a few pages back.okay and on a normal burp day, what do you do?
Open all the jars, first week 2-3 times a day I monitor the mini hydromotors if it goes I’ve 63% I agitate the buds, remove some of large buds, and set on the table for about 15-20 minutes, then put all back into the jars and back into a cool dark placeokay and on a normal burp day, what do you do?
okay i have some boveda packs should i use those as well?Open all the jars, first week 2-3 times a day I monitor the mini hydromotors if it goes I’ve 63% I agitate the buds, remove some of large buds, and set on the table for about 15-20 minutes, then put all back into the jars and back into a cool dark place
After the first few days to a week of big RH spikes you can start going once a day, after week 2 or so I burp once every other day, after a month mabye once a week, RH stays pretty stable l, just burping for air exchange after that
