How to dry cannabis in 7 days?

[katraiter]

Good morning everyone, I just finished growing some critical 2.0.auto that I planted on saint pattys day , very very small batch she flowered 14 days in to veg, clipped /harvested her 4 days ago, and this morning she passed the grinder test , badly trimmed cause she was covered in trichomes , I'm not selling it so who cares ,

I hung it on its branch for 24 -36 hours then alternated her in a wine cooler and ac set at 73 in my office , keeping humidity between. 50 and 70 percent . After a day I then later then popped the nugs off the branch , when she would get near 70 % in the cooler I pulled the nugs out of the cooler open it up and left containers open until it stayed near the ambient room with a RH at 50 % . Did this back and forth 2 days and viola could be slightly drier but nothing stuck to the grinder , but for the most part she grinded fine and about to smoke her !

Added some damp rid to the wine cooler not the whole bag of it to get to 60% rh I just monitor it on my phone and open close it periodically between 50 and 65% back and forth closer and Closer but have been sampling buds

Hang drying the plant whole is easiest and with such a slow dry it also cures as it sets. Takes 10-16 days depending on plant size and if you can keep your area within range you can keep them drying 60/60 indefinitely until you trim and jar. Try this next time and the smoke will be even better smoother and light better.

True story. If you can create these conditions in a spare bedroom, large closet, garage, etc you can hang those plants for months. I did it but I'm no longer allowed as it "made the house smell" so I'm back in the garage or chicken coop (currently no chickens).

Yes agreed I luckily have a room " office / tv computer game room " , has a separate a/c unit from rest of house . Previous owner built it as an addition , he played the French horn like a recording studio.

Where I am at 60 degrees is the low one month out of the year hard to achieve without a refrigerator

hello again my wonderful friends, i am in a difficult situation with the property I am growing in.
I basically need to give the property back to the landlord on the 10th of July and currently I am in the last week of flower.
So the 23rd of June will be my 56th day of flowering which is the final day where I want to chop and hang them to dry.
Then I want a 14 day dry to reserve the terps which will take the date to the 7th of July.
That leaves me with 2 days to trim and clean up the property to hand it back over without the landlord knowing what I’ve been upto.
So my issue is I need the buds to be dry on that 14th day to make sure everything goes to plan.
Will the 60/60 all the way from start of dry to end of dry ensure that it will take exactly 14 days?

By the way, as mentioned previously on this thread I am actually away on Holliday during this dry period. I go away on the 26th June and come back on the 7th July so I will be back just in time too if it’s a 14 day dry.

I should add that I’ll be putting them in bags and knotting them so they don’t stink out my city whilst I move them lol. Was just concerned that if they are in a concealed bag like that and are wet may cause me damp issues….

when i first started growing decades ago i found that putting them in plastic while still too wet promoted a homegrown, green grass taste. i found that using paper bags was good. my first successful dry i sealed some wet cannabis in a brown paper bag i had made an envelope out of. the finished product had a great pineapple taste. i also found that drying too quick also render the same results as putting them in plastic while too wet, green homegrown grass taste.

i would avoid using plastic bags while drying if possible. actually i would probably double bag them. first put them in paper bags and then put the paper bags in plastic and seal them.

what temp and humidity do I need in my dry room to be able to have dry buds in 7 days. 2 days after the 7 day dry I will be flying away on Holliday so I need to dry in 7 days.

My room is sealed so should be able to hit any targeted temps and humidities.

I get away with 73 temps and 58 humidity. Don't own a Canatrol and am not for business, just home grower . Folks love my weed and can not tell what temps they were cured in... thats some real world shit.
