I'm worried without the right environment this could create mold. Your RH and Temperature are so important at this stage...

You don't close the bag it stays open it just give a darker space than on line in light that's all you can set up a small fan not to go on the plants hanging but at floor level to keep the air moving not directly in the buds as said before it will uneven your drying period .

I totally get the positives of a dark space. Just worried that the humidity would build up.

I turned a small closet into a drying space with panda film keeps out all the light.

I've heard sea cures her cropout with garbage bags.

The idea is to dry them as slowly as possible. This will help your buds not
Smell like hay. A fan can create uneven dryness or dry the outside too quickly.

The name of the game is slow dry with the right environment. Especially in small closet grows like this.

I would have a small fan circulating the air. But it's really not good to put a fan directly on the buds.

I never really vented in, I just did my best to keep the temps and RH at a specific place. I kept 2 or 3 hygrometer's in there to make sure everything stayed the way I needed it.

Dry and cure is such a crucial part of the grow... messing that part up can really make the difference between top shelf and mid shelf buds.

I never took off any fan leaves to ensure a slow dry and always did what I was told by multiple seasoned growers as far as environment. The buds I grew on my first run really blew me away. I was insanely proud :) and the correct drying methods, as well as cure I feel like played a huge role in it going well.

So if leaving your fan leaves do you get 10 days hanging to dry before they are super dry almost to dust? These r 5 days in flower

Do you get 10 days hanging before buds are crispy dry leaving the fan leaves on?
Couple better ones with the led off...also buying a 150w hps to add to them and remove 1 50w led for the next 5 girls that just sprouted. Also ill be getting the nectar for the gods sample kit. 3 plants in 1 pot there in roughly 6 gallons of soil see what i yield from that experiment

I've had good results with NFTG but after a while the amount of mixing I had to do wth each feeding was a bit tedious. Still it produced fire.

The amount of days it'll take for you to dry your buds really depends on your environment. There's no "set date" you gotta jar em up for cure before the stems "snap" if the stems snap when you bend em you've dried em too long.

buds that are too dry tend to be a little harsh when smoked
