What RH would you recommend?Personally I would go ahead and manicure the buds now and throw the rest of the vegetation away. That high RH would have me worried that I might lose it all to bud rot.
I'll do that today and report back. :)I like to start at 55%. Then as the end of the dry approaches I move it up to 60%.
Eliminating all the plant material that will not be in the finished product might help you actually get low enough RH that it could be properly controlled within a range.
Can you crack open a couple of the larger buds and check for mold?
Why 6 days, got any new dry secrets since then?I like my smoke dry and ready to sweat within 6 days. And then another week of burping. Your temp and RH are fine. But if it's too slow to dry add fans.
The bud has to stay moist enough long enough for the chlorophyll to break down. Any sooner and the smoke is harsh. And don't be afraid to use low temps and lots of airflow. If its drying too fast pile it up. Partially cover with plastic. Not much has changed.Why 6 days, got any new dry secrets since then?
Nope. Just a standard practice we all use. We used to just toss it in a room on racks with heaters and fans and dry it jn a day. But since then 6 days on racks in a cool area thats got continous fresh air coming in has proven to be ideal for nose and burn.Oh right, I just thought it would be more than 6, maybe 8 days at the soonest or maybe you had a secret within the sacred dry..
I just find that leaning it "curing" for weeks on end is just code for "too lazy to trim". And 6 days is about how long it takes in the low 60F range usually. Then bag it. A day later let the bags sit open. Or send them and they can open the bags on the other end. And they stay freshest longest . After about 2 months a load loses a lot of smell and can become crumbly. But. If you want to long cure. For personal use. There are unique ways. Such as taking a 4 day bud off the rack and sitting it in direct sunlight for a day or two. Makes for a different taste. Or putting fresh weed in a mylar bag for about 45 days. With oxygen absorbing pouches. Gives a dry but resinous bud. But extra days hanging upside down don't help.Interesting you like 6 but most go for 14, you don't like the slow dry?
You like the quick slow dry
I just wait for the bud branches to snap.I just find that leaning it "curing" for weeks on end is just code for "too lazy to trim". And 6 days is about how long it takes in the low 60F range usually.
