Hello sirs,
I chopped my plants down 12 days ago right as warm weather began to onset. Early on temp & RH were great outside the tent - still much wetter in the tent to be expected from a newly cut plant. I tried to keep the RH in check by speeding the exhaust fan and leaving the tent cracked. Very little light getting into the room.
Slowly the RH in the tent lowered. But now summer is here. Temp is 68-72 F in the drying room and the atmosphere has climbed to 70-some percent daily. I do not have a dehumidifier!
The outside of the buds is not crispy. Some of the pencil-thick stems snap when bent, some still bend and crease.
It seems that the humidity of the buds will never get lower than the atmosphere. I do have some 62% boveda bags. My question is: should I go ahead and trim now and just burp the jars often? Trim and put in paper bags? Or maybe just remove branches from the main trunk to dry out more?
Thanks for your input!
Edit: I looked at the photographic evidence and the temps in the basement are still low-mid 60s, but humidity approaching 75%
