I'd like the room a bit colder so they dry slow.. I like 70-75 better.. Ur bud will still dry but a Lil bit faster then I like

 

[fadetoblack1]

will faster drying have negative effects on the smell?

 

[MakinGoo]

Yes if ur plant drys 2 fast u will lose a bit of smell & taste

 

[vaporedout]

more hay like smell if it dries to fast

If you can't get it cooler you can jar it up a little wetter than you would like normally and then burp the jars frequently it slows down the dry a little.

I like to keep it at 65ºf and 50-60rh, I find this gives me the dankest nugs with a proper cure. Hope this helps.

+1 for way cooler temps.
Slower the dry the better. Everyone who tries it will thank you for spending the 2 extra days.

Less harsh tasting with slower drying as you get less chlorophyl or green tasting bud and better formation of CBD and CBN as THC degrades slowly. Yep, like sex, quick will do, but can lead to some real disappointed looks!

And even once dry, it will still taste way better with a good cure.

In my world WAY too hot and WAY too dry. Cooler temps, in the 50s if it's achievable, and in the 50% RH range, for drying. Curing is done at 60%-65% RH, cool temps.

Geeze... Do you guys use a/c for your drying rooms or something?

 

[justhydronow]

80 degrees is high, 60-70 degrees will give you best smelling buds.

I use my basement, it's naturally much cooler there, especially in fall and winter.

I use the same tent I grow in, with the ac cranked down to 65. It gives me a light tight, stink proof, spot that has perfect ventilation and environmental controls already dialed in. I use that week to scrub and sanitize, reclaim my chow mix, wash my smart pots, stock up on energy drinks needed for trimming etc.

The second I trim the last nug, transplant happens from topped teens in smaller pots to teens in 3g smarts, no time wasted. A week or so to get settled in big pots and away we go. At least thats the plan, but it never seems to work that way. :rolleyes:

learn learned i left some buds trimmed for three days in 80 degree temp came home to crispy nuggs bummed out...

 

[RoidsRus]

Yes... That is wayy to hot for a curing room. I like to dry my buds in a dark room that is anywhere from 50-60 degrees, & has very low amounts of moisture. But as far as trim goes, I like to spread that out in the garage on a piece of cardboard.

65-75 degrees and 50% rh is just fine for me. No need to run AC to dry your nugs! lol You used enough power to grow those things so forget about using more to dry 'em. If you can't control your humidity and it's drying too quick you can always re-constitute moisture by running an air stone in a 5 gal bucket of water for a few hours. IMO 7-10 day dry time is usually perfect.

What's up. fellow green thumbs I have a ? I have a10 / 10 room that I use for bloom and a 3/3 /6 ft tent I use for drying problem is during lights on it gets too hot not to mention the bright lights so when lights r on I zip it and direct cool air into with a small fan on low for circulation strain is hazard creation anyway i wet trim hang by branches and 3-4 days dry to touch stem not cracking but flexible went from there to jars tasted smell great after a week I gots hay sucks need fire for my wife mainly need suggestion pls on how to fix. Srry for lack of proper punctuation not my fortay plants trees sod bugs yes thank u I'n advance I know there r some really smart peeps on here!!! Peace and just plant it!!

 

[Seamaiden]

Stop wet-trimming, for one thing, that speeds up the drying process. You don't really mention temps and humidity, but it is a good idea to have circulation going in the drying area, IME.

 

[thescaper1]

Thanks Seamaiden guess I need to get another hygrometer. I'm sure dry trim is better too just takes more patience something that this plant is still teaching me!! Would not be a good day if I don't learn anything. Thx again
