What have people found to be the best temp to dry plants in?

Bad Rudie is done/almost done and the place I plan to dry her in is rather cool. ~40-50F. This location is fairly dry too if that helps

Any ideas?

Most of the buds on the lower branches are cloudy/clear. On the main cole there are a few amber too. Most of the amber is in the leaves closest to the centre and top. I flushed only 2 days ago so she might graduate to hash instead of just weed

Should I give her another day or 2?

... Between 68 and 70 degrees with a very low humidity, less than 20%. I would cut them as soon as time permits in the next several days. Good luck...

Oh, and always keep the air moving...

That dry eh? Ok, I'll see what I can do.

I can cut them anytime. That's not a problem. What worries me the temp. Might that be too cold?

Dry them at the same temp they were grown in perhaps? Maybe a little cooler?

jamesgang

... With low humidity and moving air. I have also had 35% humidity with moving air. The key is air movement, mold cant form then... With cooler temps it takes longer to dry out and put into containers...

I'm over in chat with thaistick and he told me that having a fan is essential.

I've found a better spot. It'll be tough to keep dark but its really dry and about 70-80 AND I can fun in some fans

I'd like to know where did jamesgang get a 20 humidity. Are you living in a desert? Over where I live the humidity goes barely under 60% throughout the year. But that's not my point. I'm writing to ask whether it is beter to dry it in my old abandoned grandparent's house with open-through roof or in a room with a fan? I mean the airflow under the roof must be much better, but on the other hand the humidity could be high. What do you people think.

dabuddha

to get the humidity low you can use either a dehumidifier or dessicants, dessicants such as dry-rite can be purchased at DIY stores like home depot etc... I would dry indoors and with plenty of airflow, the conditions under the roof are probably not very stable and I'd hate to see you lose a grow because of a poor drying condition.

jolan, you're going to have to be extra careful when it comes time to dry to prevent mold. Where I live, RH's in the 20% is not unusual, and I'm in the middle of a prairie. But with it rarely dipping below 60, you've got prime mold conditions (as you probably already know from living there- I'll bet that people are fighting mold & mildew all the time where you live).

Take dabudda's advice- it's just what you should do.

does it have to be dark where the buds are drying, or can you dry them in say your grow room which would have 12/12 light?

THC degrades with exposure to light.

So a dark.. dry.. ventilated place is best.
