So yesterday there was an accident and some big branches broke off and we put them on the drying racks.
Also these are my fluctuating temps and RH values.
63 F @ 32% RH 1:43am
93 F @ 10% RH 2pm
I think I probably have about 3- 4 weeks left by looking at most of the branches.
So here is a list of my concerns and questions and if I need to post in different sections let me know.
What are cheap ways to make a drying room for the plants to hang?
Any benefit of the stalks for me or can I just give them to my dog to chew on?
If I cannot get my temps to the desired levels what is the best course of action?
Can I cut them and jar them to cure? For instance I have a crawl space under my mobile home, can I just jar everything up and stick them down there and just burp them longer?
If I was looking to make hash can I grab uncured bud and leafs or should I wait for them to be cured?
Thank you all so much. I am happy to be apart of this community.
Iâll try to cover what I can. May take a couple edits. But to answer the easiest #5. If you just want to make hash out of it you can throw it in the freezer. Then take it out a few hours later and lay it out on paper or whatever and itâll be dry in a few hours. Basic freeze drying. Would only do this for hash, since youâre isolating the trichomes and donât have to worry about vegetation that would still be full of the first stages of chlorophyll. Which arenât great to smoke, it degrades to different stages over time and mostly overall when dried in darkness.
4 No
3 If temps running to high keep humidity in the 58-62 range
2 tea, about it. Just flavor
1 itâs not as complicated as it seems. You just need air exchange and darkness. I assume you already know the appropriate range since you asked if you couldnât meet it. I only use exhaust fan, one. When drying. No matter what tent. Even the one that takes a whole closet.
See it pointing out the door I just never close all the way when I use it for drying. Other tents have built in exhaust already. But this is as simple as it gets. Donât need the reflection for drying. Just the spaces I got.
The monster harvest you will have there âŚIâd say Is there a room in your place you can dedicate to drying it out?
Lol you are gonna need some space
So this works as if there is a fan in the space ?
Iâm thinking of creating a dark space in my garage âŚand was wondering if that will work instead of a fan? Blowing in the dark space sorry to jump in as you are helping someone else âŚ
Oh duh. the trick is to size your drying area to harvest. You wonât need a humidifier then. Exhaust is all you need. since you will always need to lower it in the right area. Which your exhaust covers since your lung room is so low. Hence why I used the smaller tent for last dryâŚ
Hahaha very good point lol âŚ
I wasnât gonna just dry it in the open garage âŚwas going to maybe kind of construct my own tent situation with something light proof
Understand. Would just be potentially dangerous here in the Midwest at nights right now, canât say in the future. Humidity over 90% and temps in the 50-60s are the conditions in which the spores that cause bud rot germinate. I wouldnât even be pruning outside right now. Lol.
Yeah âŚI may try to grab a cheap tent I have two small outdoor plants that should be a staggered harvest by a week or two
Might be a much smarter route to go
Thanks for your help âŚ
Oh them you know what happens with the tent after hahahah
Welcome to the forum. Iâm a long way from home now. I have great memories of getting high and riding the bike trail up the American River from sac and jumping in folsom lake and riding back home all summer long.
