The plants are drying now. I'm trying to keep them at 60 degrees and 60% relative humidity. But it turns out that's not easy! Still, I'm happy with how it's going so far.
You can see a few of the plants hanging in this flash photo I took. I think I can count 10 plants here. Normally, they are in total darkness.
I'm pretty close to my target. It's set for 60.0/60.0, and it's currently 61.2 degrees and 60.3 relative humidity. Can't get much closer than that.
Notice the averages: 62.1 degrees, and 61.0% RH. I'm majorly thrilled with this. Hope I can keep it like this as the daytime temps go up.
My problem on my previous grow was that I couldn't control temps and humidity during drying, and it dried too fast. Curing it for 3 months at 62% humidity mitigated some of that, and it now tastes pretty nice, has good terps, and is strong af, so it wasn't a disaster. But I want to do MUCH better this time. If anyone has any resources or techniques that might help, please let me know.
I have a 16" fan moving air below the plants. I have a portable air conditioner inside the tent (where I'm drying), pointed at the wall so it doesn't blow right on the plants. I also have a humidifier in the other end, which unfortunately does blow on the nearest plants but there's not much I can do about that. I have a dehumidifier outside the tent, because it blows warm air. And I have an oil heater which I have turned off because it's not going to get much below 60 degrees even in the middle of the night.
