Drying your smoke outdoor

About how long till expecting harvest?
I built my house out of 2x4 and 4x4. It’s 12x20 and 12 plants it’s full. I would won’t be growing that may next time. It’s too full.

I have another greenhouse that’s 10x12 it has 8 plants in the ground and a clone in a pot. The last time I grew here I harvested all through October I expect and hope for the same this year

Looks great! I would plastic my whole greenhouse, but it’s just to hot here in AZ. I tried some swamp cooler pads to cool it down using mother nature’s wind but it wasn’t very affective. Do you dry your plants in there? I’m curious because I’m gonna try. I’m gonna put in some black plastic and heavy weed block to dim the light and just try to control the heat with a little heater and fan. It gets pretty cold around mid Oct. Hope to be done before then.

I doubt my plants will all finish at the same time. I have a storage shed that I’ll run a heater and a humidifier in it. My big greenhouse has a 3100cfm swamp cooler but the monsoons have been crazy this year. I usually only have it on fan during the day to bring the humidity down. Can’t wait for the rain to end. I’m in AZ also.

Last time I think I cut my last plant on Halloween I would have gone another week but the freeze hit and it was over. I’m gonna use heaters this year just in case.

What temperature are you drying at? And does the smoke come out smooth? I’m just concerned with drying improperly and ruining my smoke. I’ve researched alot but I’m not sure how sensitive weed is about it’s temp in drying. I appreciate your input.

Probably don’t need shade material over the whole thing try to give it some direct sunlight for as much of the day as you can and shade in the afternoon then no shade in the evening. I took my shade down all together because it hasn’t been that hot.

I’m up around 5000 ft. So sounds like your about the same via the freeze in October. Gotta love the growth out of the monsoon rains though. But ya man they can stop anytime now. Would be great.lol :smile:

I’m in Prescott Valley

I’ve been here 15 years I don’t remember a monsoon season like this one. Everywhere you look it’s green. Looks like I’m living in Colorado

I’m just up the road. Been here 9 years and ya man it’s pretty green. I have neighbors so the shade has to stay so you can’t see in. I hope to remove it from the top next year if my trees I planted grow enough.

How big of a humidifier do you use? My drying space should be about 8x12x7’ and how long did it take? I know I’m asking alot of questions but your the guy with the best best Intel since we’re so close.

Got ya. I’m on 2 acres and my neighbors are locked and loaded and super cool. I put a 6ft chainlink fence around everything and put the shade material on the fence on the only side that matters to block view from the dirt road that only my neighbors use. It’s a dead end. I’m growing corn on the north and northeast side of the greenhouse to block the view in that direction. Everything else is blocked by my house my garage and a globe willow that touches the ground. Last time I just had the 5x10 with nothing blocking the view from the road side, aprox 100yrds and the northeast side, just the plastic tarp. It was so stressful. Thank God I can now grow legally. But I’ve bitten off more than I could chew, I think.

I like your grow. I will take a few pictures and get them up. I got ALOT to learn but ya man growing legal is the best thing ever. I’m a plant guy from nor- Cal and never got to grow legally there. So I’m just having a blast with this. Can’t wait to get to beast mode like your stuff. Be on the look out for my pics. Would like to get any suggestions that may have help you along the way. Thanks plumbdand👍

Pictures don’t do it justice never does just like yours you got to see them in person to comprehend. But I love seeing weed Pictures it’s like porn.

There’s quite a few of us on here in AZ. Growing outdoors and indoors.

Last time I dried my harvest in a steel roll off shipping container whit a heater and a mid size humidifier

You gonna do the same this year? I’m just gonna do the best I can with what I got. Mother natures gotta be nice to me this year or I’m in trouble. I spent way to much money building my greenhouse. Next year I’ll probably put in a drying shed. Hey quik question, I didn’t use cal-mag at all so far I’m 3 weeks into flower should I give em some anyway? I use Jack’s 10-30-20.





The mowie im not sure about. I should have 4 but only 1 looks like sativa. I did have a little mix up when they were young but not 3. I may have given the others away.:disappointed:

I bought a 10x16 tuff shed from home depot to store stuff in I’ve got about 10ft of it to work with. I have a 20 dollar heater from Walmart I’ll by a new humidifier before harvest not sure yet what humidifier I’m gonna buy.
