You use both? A exhaust pulling fresh air seems to be the most efficient? How big of fan you use? Is it set up on timers ?

Sorry, lol. Somehow I responded on the wrong thread. Didn't mean to distract you gents.You use both? A exhaust pulling fresh air seems to be the most efficient? How big of fan you use? Is it set up on timers ?
Are we talking extraction and air supply or curing? I'm slow today it would seem... Late night.Sorry, lol. Somehow I responded on the wrong thread. Didn't mean to distract you gents.
(I still burp jars, haven't automated the process. ;)
It still applies. Pump fresh air in. The pressure builds up and forces old air out the top check valve. :)Sorry, lol. Somehow I responded on the wrong thread. Didn't mean to distract you gents.

It’s all good, got me thinkin for sureAre we talking extraction and air supply or curing? I'm slow today it would seem... Late night.
I answered to the curing method mistakenly. (I'm really trying to not hijack or derail this thread...) In my flower tent I do have fans on the intake as well as the output. 400cfm adjustable speed on either end with a 100cfm booster on the exhaust line. I get a fair amount of filter resistance as I filter the intake as well. Three fans has proven to be effective for me.
Ok. I'm done jumbling up this thread. Many apologies
Gonna give this a try but at what point do you fully trim the buds?4 days seems a little too short, unless you have very small wispy buds.
A slow dry 6-10 days buds still on stems/branches. most leaves trimmed off.
complete darkness with slight air flow ( but not directly on buds).
dry out bud feels crisp, but still spongy.
Then I cut them off stems into a plastic grocery bag.(resin will not stick or absorb into it).
with plastic bag open I place it into a large paper grocery bag and roll it down a little.
then I set it on floor in closet, I check it every 4-6 hours.
First opening...stick your nose in the bag and smell. you want fresh, earthy, floral, sweet...
if its kinda grassy its too wet yet take out and let it air dry more.
if its smells ok, give the buds a gentle stirring and roll er back up.
some strains will change the smell through this but still smell good, it allows for a better transition between drying and curing.
When you go to jars after hanging, and they are not dry enough... they can go to bunk real quick.
But if you use the double bagger way, your buds will have a slower drying time (allows more chlorophyll to be released)
after a few days then I jar and burp...works for me every time. :)

It's good for small amounts. Like one, maybe two plants.
1. Hang dry for 3-4 days.
2. Put the buds in a box with the lid open.
3. Put it in a frost free freezer.
Tada...
Don't load up a box packed up 10 inches deep or it'll take forever. 6 inches at the very most.
I dont believe hurting or overstressing the plant increases potency.
A buddy and myself were just having this entire conversation as were drying a few atm ourselves and the humidity is insane where i am living this month even with ac and dehumidifier rocking full blast...how about a cedar lined room for drying?? Like paneling an entire room with cedar panels like a cigar room?? Anyone have any experience with this??Thats the way. I honestly don't feel like I had any noticeable trich damage at all. A more discerning eye may find some boo boos but I am very happy with the final product!
Seems like it would work .If you want cedar flavor weed. How about cardboard box's poke the stock right in the side ( the box needs to be big enough so it mostly just hangs ) wait 5 to 10 days. Ready to jar or smoke depending on your patience level.A buddy and myself were just having this entire conversation as were drying a few atm ourselves and the humidity is insane where i am living this month even with ac and dehumidifier rocking full blast...how about a cedar lined room for drying??

Cardboard box method is awesome to dry, and you can stack them to the ceiling. But it still needs a cure.Seems like it would work .If you want cedar flavor weed.

Have you heard about the cardboard shortage because everyone is ordering on line?Seems like it would work .If you want cedar flavor weed.

More than a few time otherwise that's just drying, not curing.Hang full plant in 60° 60% humidity 10 to 14 days trim bud, put it in a jar/tote and burp it a few times!!! I bet that will be y a best smoke you cured Eva
It kinda says jar or smokeCardboard box method is awesome to dry, and you can stack them to the ceiling. But it still needs a cure.
I used to cure for a couple weeks. I saw someone argue that 3-4 weeks was best. So I tested it. At 2 weeks, it was ok and what I had expected. At 3 weeks, it was much better and really got me exited. At 4 weeks, opening the jar hit me with the beautiful smell I was looking for. So 4 weeks it is for me. But that doesn't mean I won't smoke some early. lolIt kinda says jar or smoke
I have found in my limited experience that the longer in the jar 14 to 30 or more days brings aroma out the best.
