Question Drying Question
permalink

Okay, the deed was done last night and now I have a question I can't seem to find the answer to~~what temp of cold is too cold to dry in? And does the cold affect the potency at all?
I've read all about heat and light and the damage it can do, but I have yet to see this question asked or discussed on this site. If there is a such thread, would someone please point me in the right direction.

your best bet is to keep the temps between 70-80...... I have always tried to keep it at 72....seems to be a great temp to dry at. I dont know if the cold affects potency but it will take much longer to dry in a closet with a temp of 62 rather than 72....you also run the risk of getting mold if they dry out too slowly, just keep some air circulating in there if you do dry in a cooler area. hope thsi helps...Kindbuddy

I dried mine at around 55-60 F humidity @ 40% and they were done in about 7-8 days.

it smoked very evenly, no runs, taste was green but no cureing will do this, hope this helps

In my marijuana horticulture book it says that growing and drying your bud needs two different enviorments. To grow the temp should be 70-80 and to dry the temp should be 60-70 degrees, so you probably already have the perfect enviornment.
