I've got one of those but only used it once, I didn't like that the buds were flattened a bit from laying on the screen. I find chopping and hanging the branches from the top of my grow tent works much better for me.
I've never had an issue drying in the tent, I just kept fan/filter on low and it takes care of the odor plus it definitely helps dry buds quick (for me)✌
There's different methods, try what will work best for you. I dried my buds in the tent for a week and when the stems snapped clean, put them in a mason jar and burped them for 10-15 min a day until I get the proper mix of humidity and dryness that suits me. (They've only been in the jar for a week) Of course you must sample every few days to see how things are turning out✌
Hang hole plant,
Temp 65-68F
Humidity 55%
will take 10-14 days to properly dry
Dry trim
Mason jar 3/4 full
Burp every day for 2-3 week
Then once a month after that
Do not use humidity packs in mason jars it is not needed if you dry properly
I use stainless steel storage containers now and they are nice but definitely pricy, but I used quart mason jars for years and they work well just store in a relatively cool and most importantly dark spot. When I first "jar" them I check them multiple times a day and burp them often after about two weeks maybe a little more they get pretty stable then I burp every other day or so. Once they hit around 60% on those little hydrometers and they aren't climbing very much when sealed up I use the humidity packs for long term storage, I have used both the 58 and 62% packs and personally prefer the 62 but if you like yours a little drier go with the 58. I think they keep longer with the packs than without but not everybody likes them, I have heard people say they suck up the smells and effect taste, that hasn't been my experience. I think some people get into trouble with the humidity packs when they use them right off the bat to draw down moisture as a short cut to curing. I keep them jarred and just burp (I leave lids off 15-30 minutes) if my hydrometers are reading 68% or under when sealed up, over 70% I dump them out for an hour or so then back in the jar. My ambient humidity levels are usually in 40 to 60 percent range so in your environment you may want to shorten your burp times and take care they don't get too dry before you jar them up.The remaining moisture inside the buds will create the humidity inside the canning jars? This is part of why you burp daily? (And gas exchange)
That's what I usehave you looked into Grove Bags with Terp-Loc? great reviews. no burping needed.
they recommend drying by hanging, and then sweat it using a paper bag, then put into the grove bag and no burping or anything.
