Oh yeah dehumidifiers are on full speed in the beginning it will be extra humid in there make sure your unit is running strong and also put a little fan in there on the lowest setting. Don't point it on the plants point it away from them jut enough to circulate the air in the dark cool tent.

You may want to move the dehumidifier inside the drying tent if it will fit

Do you guys think my shit gonna be ok with the rh doung ehat it is doing

[Backyard_Boogie]

Yeah thats not too bad. Its slightly outside of the 60/60 rule but its still close enough to where you should be OK. Just don't hang your plants too close to each other, make sure that none of the flowers are touching or pressed against each other.

 

[Backyard_Boogie]

Oh yeah and check them daily. That is important too. Get in there with a flash light every day and give them a good thorough check to make sure no mold is starting anywhere.

Why the flashlight? I don't think tunning on a light to see will ruin your buds will it? Just wondering, I see alot of people are worried about a little light.

Well if your drying tent is the same tent as your grow tent and the light is still hooked up... sure. In that case you can just turn the main light on, as long as its for a short period of time it's fine. Longer periods of light exposure is definitely bad for harvested flower. However he still has plants running in the main tent so I think he is drying in a separate tent.

i think the gold will disappoint me i just checked on it and those buds felt soft like cotton

i think u told me once u did not use a humidifier dehumidifier or a/c so not being smart how do u keep it 60/60 exactly

 

[biggerbud420]

i might try and do some type of wet trim on the others but i want to hang the whole plant so i will try and trim while the plant is still in the pot

Just to play devils advocate here,.. I'm not convinced of that. Back in the day when I ran a massive show and had a lot of weed drying on racks in the empty flower room, my partner would turn on an HPS lamp or 2 for heat to keep the temperature up a little, since the room got really cold without the equipment running. Light was a few meters away and not blasting them with 40K lux or anything, but the drying bud was.. illuminated. Put it that way
I was skeptical, and being obsessed with quality I wasn't cool with the idea at first, but we tried it and saw ZERO difference compared to the same product dried in the warmer months in total darkness. Nevertheless we eventually installed a baseboard for subsequent runs, but more to save power than anything. HPS isn't the most efficient heater.
Now, UV can damage the crop after harvest for sure. You don't want to dry it in the sun or directly under MH lamps or anything. But an incandescent light bulb will do diddly fuck all. Even if you leave it on 24/7.

I have a humidifier/dehumidifier however I dont have an A/C. That is what I am missing. In the winter my garage is nice and chilly so I dont really need the AC. However in the summer my garage is too hot to dry in. I move the product in my second bedroom and I run the AC inside with the humidifier/dehumidifier in the room.
