Dry room is drying. Weather is finally taking a breath. I had my wife check at work last night and it was up to like 70 rh. Mold land! luckily there’s a ton of airflow. Not a perfect dry, but better than my prior.

Going out of town for my wedding anniversary this weekend. Considering bagging them up before we go. Not sure. I’ve been erring on the dry side, so maybe bagging earlier is a good bet? Worked okay with the reveg.

I don't think 70 is mold land with air flow.

If you can aquire a bunch of 62 humidity packets quick and bag them it will probably be gravy.

okay good, made me nervous. Thanks for the tip. Plants were cut down on the 6th so it’s only been a few days, but hotter/drier than ideal.

I harvested one plant prior that was drying in like 20% humidity. I bagged it in off brand grove bags and the humidity came back up to 54 in its own. I added a leaf from my newly harvest crops and it got to the 60’s in a couple hours.

Planning to do the same thing with these three girls unless someone tells me otherwise.

If you're going out of town this weekend, you can't leave them hang in 70s, 6 days is a lot in 70s but if it's not sour smelling packets or bag it...I had a bad cure on some of mine last batch. Outside hangers got a tinch of hay

Should be clear, humidity spike was from
me trying to battle dryness lol. Temperatures are getting close to perfect for drying on their own. Too bad my plants were on the same schedule.

First round got a bit of hay smells I think from drying too fast. I hung these up whole plant untrimmed to keep some moisture.

So whatcha think? Bag it or let it ride?

Not sure what your indoor conditions will be, I'm starting to learn that my indoor basement tent drying is way different per season.....I thought it would stay somewhat consistent because it's a finished/conditioned space.

I’m drying indoors on a room on the front side of my house. It gets a good amount of sun but I’ve been able to keep it about 10 degrees cooler than outside.

Tried to set up reflective material for the sunlight, black out curtains, fans, ice coolers, humidifier, a partridge and a pear tree..

Honestly, I would bag it and tag it with packets in jars if it's a problem.

As long as it's not super wet if you over pack the packets it can correct it especially if you are going out of town.

Why do you have a humidifier if things are in 70s?
