drying is a touchy process for me, I have a lot of trouble drying properly in the summer...

My optimal drying temp's are mid 60's or 70's with about 40-65% RH depending on how far into drying I am, how dense the bud is etc. I tend to start the plants off a bit higher RH, then crank the dehumidifier down to 40% for a few days or more, once everything is dry to the touch and the danger of mold has passed I let the dehumidifier up to about 50-60% or so... I hate it when everything dries too fast or too much and gets all crispy. I'd rather risk getting a tiny bit of mold and let my stuff dry slower and cure a little "on the line".

I always do a dry trim, hanging plants in their entirety, I like to let them dry as slow as possible. If the bud is really dense however, or the plants are really dense I'll chop off the bigger branches and hang them separately to prevent mold and provide better airflow. Occationaly I get a touch of mold, but its no matter... Usually only happens when I'm learning how to dry a new strain or something, Every strain is different.

I have a 980 CFM blower with a can 100 carbon scrubber scrubbing the room, and an internal circulation fan as well so theres plenty of air movement. I say more air movement is better than super low humidity.

I've tried using an air conditioner to dry my buds in the summer but that was a total failure. It dried them way too fast. I'd much rather have it a bit warmer temps and slightly higher RH than have colder temps and a lower RH

i wouldnt recommend raising humidity if it wasnt already drying to fast

but if you want it to dry as slow as possible.......................................

55% is on the high end and in many cases might be a problem depending on how dense your buds are

i know if your stash is TOO dry a piece of bread thrown in your jar for a few hours or so will bring your babies to life

ive done the orange peels

it works - but you have to watch it very closely - and it will affest the taste of the bud - not bad tasting at all - but it will taste citrusy

it i will mold fast so watch close -

i have also heard from a friend who would rap it it a head of lettuce in the fridge - he would leave it in a baggy but leave the baggy cracked open but lettuce covering opeing like a blanket

he swore by it and said it didnt affect the taste - but i never did the lettuce - i kinda liked the citus so did the orange

try it for 2 days - take the peels out - waite 2 days and try again - that swhat i do - seems like it comes on fast - it will seem dry for 2 days and then wamb! over night its to moist and got mold

try it with 1oz to get the feel and then the rest

Yeah I've done the orange peels... with schwag. Back when I smoked schwag

I just dont want anything to affect the delicate trichomes of the nug I smoke nowadays

it is ghetto, an old ghetto remedy, to get the dry out

SmokeyThaBear07

it gives the breads moisture to whatever you put it in with, then the bread will be hard as a rock, and the other will be all fresh n moist try it

chronichris

the leaves r supposed to be crispy u r supposed cut all the fan leaves and leave the buds. u could smoke leaves but not me

CRAZYTRAIN
