I don’t recall which members are in Australia, but 60% RH at about 21.1C with a light breeze.

hey @Rossi how you doing mate? :grin:

where abouts are you? does it rain all the time?

where we are generally I wet trim and hang them in my wardrobe, in central western nsw, but its dry there… so I hang in the wardrobe to keep the humidity up, try to not open the wardrobe too much… like they say low 20’s temp wise, 50-60% humidity ideally, to have a nice slow dry, over 7-10 days ideally, if u can :grin:

then into jars- Tupperware containers, and follow standard burping procedure…

I’m in Northern Nsw
Done two grows so far.
Took 2weeks hang in a room, felt quite dry. Put in jars for 2 months opening 2hours a day then shake but still find its abit damp inside. So. Have to let sit for hours once chopped to use.
Burping takes too long can l get better results with a longer slow hanging instead. Fing burping tedious. Thanks mate for anymore advice.

ok so your in what id call generally a humid environment always around +70%? im just guessing… I love it up there… :smile: , you will need to have them in a room with a dehumidifier or air conditioner to keep it at 50-60% humidity, and then wait till the stems snap but don’t break through the outer layer of green on the stem… :smile:
out west its 40-50% all the time apart from middle of winter, and in summer it can be 0-10%… 47’c… :smirk:

so your not getting them dry enough before you put them into jars id say… :smile:
sound right?

Was thinking if l close windows so no breeze so do one months hang then the jars. How often & how long you open for?

maybe not…:smile: thing is buddy, you just need to find whats right for you, if its 70+% humidity for that week is there anywhere you trust that has aircon, that’s on 24/7 like a friend or sibling… or if u hang it in a breeze it dries quicker, so yeah id say not in the wardrobe for u… when it comes closer post your options… :smile: then once its dried properly just do it the same as on the youtube vids… I forget 2 mins… twice a day :smile:, it really depends though… if I have over dried it I may never burp them… then get a pleasant surprise 6 weeks later when they are actually pretty nice… :smile:
