Good evening growers! I was watching one of Berners episodes where he goes to the top commercial LA growerin facilities and a few of the farmers stated that their dry rooms are kept at 62-64F and 52-60% rh.

that if when you walk into your dryin room and your "nipples" do not get hard then its not cold enough lol at those paramiters it takes around 2weeks for the buds to dry which will give you a nice smooth tasteful smoking experience.
what are your thoughts?
I am going for a two week dry since I will be away for 2weeks.

Me, too! I prefer a bit colder IF possible without the moisture. Some strains will find 60%RH for drying too wet (the NL#5 I grew out a few years ago was one of those, just stayed SO sticky!), but by and large, me diggy them thar parameters. I feel the colder the better.

I forgot to mention they do whole plant dry. no wet trimming just whole plant to achieve the 2week dry

Hard to say a dead ass set number... i would do things different in summer and winter and i would do things different in Arizona and florida too

Hang it till it snaps... buds have a little sponge to them... then throw it all in jars or preferably 1 jar... i like anchor hocking or gamma seal... start burpin... all dry trimmin

yes I think. the guy was very into his growin. no trimmin machine, no change of nutes, everything the same from start to finish. i like the "only grow one node" method trim everythin else to get big fat chunky colas.
the one thing that threw me off was "letting the bud die" letting it over ripe so it cures better. so i guess he lets his plants tric all amber

Letting them die can also mean cutting them off nutes (leaching) and like debated b4 but its word... you always kick the nitrogen and let the plant fade out the last 2 weeks or more for an easier cure and better smoke. You wouldnt eat a green banana or strawberry. .. y smoke one?

In the video the guy says "we run the same nutrients veg through flower, the idea that you need different feeds for veg and flower, that's all bullshit."
Later in the video he's showing an early flower room and says "this room is green right now but at harvest it'll all be yellow." That makes me think that they do a flush for some length of time, and I know for a fact they let it die on the vine for 48 hrs.
