Drying temps

I’m close to being ready for harvest. My temps in my tent run from 78 degrees due the day and 72 at night. The lowest I was able to get it was 70. Would 72 degrees dry too fast? I’m in an apartment ok the second floor so cool spots are unavailable especially during the summer.

If you cant get the temperature down add a bit more humidity to slow the drying process. Leave a small fan at bottom of tent for circulation and you should be good.

I meant to say that the lowest that it will get is 70 with the lights off. It’s only 78 with the lights on and everything such is not needed during drying. I believe you misunderstood my question. Also 60 degrees isn’t obtainable that’s why I said 70 is the lowest possible. I’m in an Apartment and daily temps outside are in mid to high 80s low 90s most days

For drying, 78 is a bit too hot and yes, at that temp, you'll dry quickly. You want to TRY for 60-degrees with 60% humidity.... my only thought is you don't HAVE to dry in a tent - anywhere will do... how about your bathroom or bedroom? It's only for about a week ... Try to come up with some OTHER place to dry! Good luck!

Hey StickyThumbz94, With 78 fahrenheit you have a nice temperature :) Plants love to get 78-81 and some kinds can even go higher or when using co2. Getting lower temperature at night is a good thing to have but don't get lower then 61 because your plant will stop flowering. So 70/72 at night is awesome. I even know growers and did it myself to that lower the temperature in the last few weeks daytime and nighttime to get more collors in the buds if you have a strain that have thoose. Only do this if you are knowing what you are doing. Just try to keep your medium(soil) wet, but not to wet since i see many light can reach your pots since you don't have big fanleafs anymore. Because of this your pots dry up faster. To be honnest i still think your plants can flower for some weeks. If they like to drink everything you gave them in like 1-3 days they still want to flower. When the hairs on the buds are 80% brown and you have milky THC(thricromes) instead of crystal ones, your thc is ready. Looking at your diary, i still see many white hairs indicate that she is not ready yet :) Good luck growing :)
