Hello. I'm in the process of harvesting my NL auto and am curious on some things. First do you prefer trimming wet or dry? I'm trimming wet so far and man is that sticky. Or is it up to personal preference?

My main concern is my drying tent. It's 2'x2'x3'. I'm having an issue keeping it cooler in there. I'm unable to get it below 75 degrees F. The RH is around 55 to 60%. I have a small fan in there blowing.

I know that's not ideal but will it cause any issues? Also what am I looking for when checking for mold. The trichs make it hard for me to tell. Thanks for any help!

Since your drying temps are a bit higher than optimum, as long as you didn't have any bud rot issues, I'd dry the plant with the fan leaves on it, it will slow the drying/curing process, but it's really your call.

wet. more control over drying
especially if you have higher temp and can't bring it down to 60-65

No bud rot and leaving fan leaves makes sense.

I'll do some more wet trim and see how things look in a few days. Or do both and compare. Thanks.

With you not being able to get your temps down to 60. I would keep the plant whole. Keep every leave and stem on. This will help slow down the drying. Try and dry at least 14 days.

I've thought about that. I didn't know if more moisture would cause any mold issues. I'll keep an eye out for it. Thanks.
