Congratulations! But do not try to hurry the drying process by using some heater, as this negatively affects smell, taste and even potency. It is quite normal that after three days the buds are still wet. It takes 5 to 10 days for drying. The slower, the better. Some people even increase humidity in order to slow down the process!
@SirTrollington, I understand. Meanwhile I think you have only limited influence on humidity and mold. Last year I had a grow where one of the plants caught mold during flower. The affected bud was one of the top ones, the humidity was quite low and airflow was perfect. The other plants were totally crowded, but temperature and humidity should have been an invitation for mold, but nothing happened. Even during the drying humidity sometimes went up to 80% and my attempts to correct this with a dehumidifier failed miserably. Wet air was coming in all day long and in the end I was just wasting energy and had increased temperature. So meanwhile I more or less gave up on trying to control the humidity. Genetics seems to be the deciding factor. Of course high humidity will increase the risk for catching mold, but there is absolutely no guarantee that even with good conditions you are safe. If you find the silver bullet for this problem, let me know 😑
@Buddha2, Thank you! I'm using the heater because I have high humidity and I'm afraid it might lead to mold forming. I'm drying in the grow tent and the heater is outside the tent. Do you have any suggestions to avoid mold?
Hi @Dralph87, I do what is on the BioBizz feeding chart. These are my 3rd and 4th grows, all using the BioBizz nutrients and BioBizz LightMix soil and I have no complaints so far.
The chart does limit to 1ml/L of BioGrow if you are using AllMix soil, so if you are using other soils then it's probably better to cut off.
