Dried to fast.... they may improve a bit after a weeks weeks in the jars.I chopped 6 plants. Did 2 per day.
plant 1 and 2 had the most drying time. About 4 days. I felt them and they felt bone dry so I panicked and jarred it all. One oz per jar.
The humidity of jars is 45-70% (some are drier than others)
two of the jars smell amazing. Like the bud. The other two jars smell gross and like hay. Why? Is it fixable?
See it seems opposite. If anything it’s not dry enough. If that makes sense?
The first plant I trimmed seems to smell good according to my notes. It’s the driest.
is it possible I didn’t let the later ones dry enough? They DID feel dry and crumbly when on the drying rack but now that they’re in the jars they’re not so dry. Sticky.
Maybe I should leave the lids open for a full day?
Right now I burp every 12 or so hours
Did you wait until you can break the buds off the stem?So drying even and slow.. can that be done in the jars? I slowly rotate them and burp them every few hours for a few mins.
I feel like it’s a fine line now. They’re been in jars for a few days now bring burped and aired out lots. The rack might be a bit much.
3/4 plants smell like hay
No. But very close.Did you wait until you can break the buds off the stem?
Every good bud I grow breaks off before it's completely dry. Straight to the jar perfect moisture every time.No. But very close.
I waited that long last time and was told it was a tadddd too long. Just before that point.
so that’s good to know it’s salvageable and not ruined if I just let it dry more.
I generally agree with the 7-10 day drying time frame but I feel like its worth mentioning that it does depend on where you live. Humidity plays a giant role. Also of course where you are hanging it and if that space is a closed or sealed space. For example in SoCal right now we just had a desert wind event and the last 2 days we have had an average humidity between 7%-15%. Super Super dry. It's creating gnarly wild fires. I have plants hanging in my tent right now and I guarantee you I will have to jar them in closer to 3 days. Any longer and they would be absolutely zapped. They would just crumble in your hand like dust. It's really shitty here because the harvest season late year also coincides with the Santa Ana winds. It fucks EVERYTHING UP makes curing a total bitch! Super frustrating I have thought about purchasing some kind of sealed humidifier rack to put my buds in. Maybe someone on here can comment on this Im not too familiar with it but wish there was an inexpensive product.Used to always have this problem as well it’s because I was jarring them too early the little buds should flick off and u should hear a crack in the stem like everyone says dry for minimum of 7-10days

Have you tried a fan with wet towels? Rice cooker in a closet?I generally agree with the 7-10 day drying time frame but I feel like its worth mentioning that it does depend on where you live.

Yes I have tried the wet towel trick. That does seem to help for sure. Never heard of the rice cooker trick dam that sounds like a good idea. I should try that one. Im glad you said this man because it reminded me that i forgot to put a towel in the bottom of the tent. I chopped 2 days ago so i will go out in the garage tonight and toss a wet one down on the floor. Good call man thanks!Have you tried a fan with wet towels? Rice cooker in a closet?
