I am debating this myself, but have never done it. I would be worried it would dry too fast and I would have hay smelling buds. Do you just cut the big colas into quarters or how do you do it?
This Pic does not do her justice her buds are so fragrant. My mouth just waters anytime I get near her.
Are you able to keep a close to 60/60 environment for the first couple weeks, if so I wouldn’t worry at all about the smell or flavor. If you cant though, those popcorn buds i think, like youre worried about would dry out quicker. Ill let Rooke answer more of your tag to him : ) as long as it doesnt sit too long from here on out, id be making a move sooner than later
So far the drying space has been 54 humidity and about 72F during the day. Have the dehumidifier set at 50 for the garage it's in. I am wondering If maybe I should keep the large colas intact for a week and then break them down to avoid the hay smell. I feel like if I break up the large colas today and put them a dry rack they will dry out to quick and not break down the compounds they need to.Are you able to keep a close to 60/60 environment for the first couple weeks, if so I wouldn’t worry at all about the smell or flavor.

Hey there Bear. I think the side mesh on my hanging baskets and bottoms keep the fan breeze in check. Cut the buds off the stem do a wet trim on them then I open them then I check for any rot then into the baskets they go. If you find they’re drying to fast the the next time you fill them up more. Or turn your dehuey up. It takes a few days to dry hope this helpsAre you able to keep a close to 60/60 environment for the first couple weeks, if so I wouldn’t worry at all about the smell or flavor.

Is there any risk of the hay smell if I break them down and put them in a vertical dry rack? Every other place I have seen for drying advice they say the mesh racks dry out too fast and give you lack lustre weed.
Thank you for the info! Im hoping it can help out Gmomishviking but its also definitely info im filing away : ) thanks Rooke!
Has been all week. Upper 40s Tonite, but probably low 50s
Hey there the buds on my autos were very big and I’ve tried hanging branches in the past and really had problems with them drying I lost whole plants that way,. Then another farmer told me about breaking the buds Up off the stem and checking them for rot that you may not see..
It's just hot here.
Front went through last night, humidity dropped. Have to worry about hurricanes and nor’ easters now. It’s damp mornings every day till harvest time.Looking good in the hood
Got cold in my neck of the woods
No hurricanes where I am but damp in the morning for sure I do wake and bake the plants get wake and shake
