DRY & BEAUTY - by DRYFERM August 2025

Hi GrowDiaries Community, We’d like to sincerely apologize for the technical issue that caused the contest to end earlier than expected. Everything has now been fixed in accordance with the agreement with our sponsor. Thank you for your understanding, and please rest assured this was just a technical bug. There’s no need for concern or speculation. Best regards, GrowDiaries Team

First of all, we want to thank you, @Dryferm, for creating the Dry & Beauty competition, for celebrating the part of the journey that often stays in the shadows: the art of drying and curing. 🌬️✨ This is where the real magic settles in , and where patience becomes gold. After months of care, love, and learning, we reached the cure. 🌱💚 This is our Runtz, post-harvest, dried and trimmed with patience, respect, and intention. We didn’t just dry it. We listened to it. We respected what it became. For this process, we chose to go low and slow, embracing darkness, airflow, and time. We dried in a controlled environment inside the tent, with humidity around 58–62%, and temperatures between 17–19°C, no shortcuts taken. We let the branches speak to us, bending just right when the moment came. Then, we hand trimmed gently and placed the buds into Grove Bags and Jars, allowing the cure to begin while preserving every terp and crystal the plant worked so hard to build. This is the final form of our beloved Runtz from Zamnesia Seeds, cured with intention, trimmed with love, and shot with a heart full of gratitude. 🌸✨ I may not have had a professional drying machine or studio lights, but i had respect. I had patience. And i had the soul of a grower that never gave up. Guys Let me know what you all think, Best of luck and much love to everyone entering, this plant is a gift we all share always no mater what 💚 With true love comes happiness 💚🙏 Always believe in your self and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart , be a giver and the universe will give back to you in ways you could not even imagine so 💚 Friendly reminder all you see here is pure research and for educational purposes only 💚Growers Love To you All 💚

I used the @Dryferm Bags in my recent harvest and it was smooth sailing. The harvest went into curing jars a couple of days ago and it was very easy to do. I will reuse the bags for my next harvest. 10/10 recommendation. Pricy, but super beginner-friendly. 👍👍👍

Die Ernte und Trocknung der einzelnen Sorten erfolgte versetzt über mehrere Wochen. Getrocknet wurden die Blüten ungetrimmt und an den Hauptästen belassen in einer 60x60x160cm Box, die über die Blütebox abgesaugt und gefiltert wurde. Auf dem Boden stand eine Box mit Wasser, um die Luftfeuchtigkeit auf 55-60% zu heben. Die Trocknung dauerte 8-11 Tage bei 18,5 Grad Celsius. Nach dem Trocknen wurden die Blüten getrimmt und in WECK Einmachgläsern mit Boveda 58% zum Reifen in einem Holzschrank gelagert.

Das ist ist doch eine nette Abwechslung wobei es um die Weiterverarbeitung geht und die Einleitung der Veredelung.💪🏼

We just had one of these for a product that boiled down to a 5W PC fan inside of a piece of plastic with branded silica beads....doing a competition for the 'bestest drying setup' or whatever and not a single cannatrol placed, which is rofl-territory for years to come. Trichome integrity studies, dew point mold permanent prevention, and more all clearly show from an empirical standpoint that the cannatrol aka dualTECTEK is squarely ahead of competitors. I mean, the last I checked their rental trial program hasn't had a single non-conversion, even at the multi-rack ticket.... That is just their gimmicky home unit, with the bare basics for their tek. Will be an interesting one to watch the placement of winners on.

Special room, a tent, or a bag? It is called "Dachgeschosswohnung" Looking forward to safe my Terps in the future, with the DryfermBags 🌿

Wet trim, i dont mind some sugar leaf in spliff ;) 7-10 days, 50-60 Rh. Would be very interesting to try out those funky things. I am a bit anti technology, so boveda packs was max i bought for curing process ;)

Old fashion 10-14 days leaf on dry, to slow the process , with 60-70 humidity, a little space and gentle breeze. Trim, then jar Push sensors, and burp daily until stable at 62/64% RH. Most times about a month curing before the roll out. Slow but a nice result

Wet trim and then hung up in my little drying corner (Dark without light entering) for about 10 days. 🌿 Once the stems made a dry cracking sound when bent, the flowers were refined in a jar with an 8-gram Humibag for about 4 weeks. In the first few days, the jar(s) were opened briefly every day. 🥫 After that, they were left to curing like a good wine. 🍷🌳 The reward was wonderfully fragrant flowers that tasted like summer when consumed. Good luck to all participants!

I run a dehumidifier set at 50% in a small room and hang the buds off of a wire rack , I also use a cyclone fan to keep the air moving around . Once the buds are close to drying I cut them up into small chunks and bag them up , opening the bag every day for a week until they test cured with a moisture meter . Using your bags would sure make things easier

@Dryferm since your Dryferm Bags seems to be "soldout" in your onlineshop, i would realy appreciate to win 😅

Hello Everybuddy! I normaly use the technic of wettrimm and then air drying for 4 till 5 Days. After that I Put the Buds in TerpLoc zipps to get full cured in 2 Till 3 Weeks... No more Stress no lost of quality... Always superb Aroma and taste is realy smooth.. Check diarie i used for the Contest! And great luck to every partizipant! 🥦🌲🌱💚 growdiaries.com/diaries/257057-silent-seeds-pink-sunset-ft-sherbinskis-grow-journal-by-goodtimesorganics

Neat

Ich habe in meinen growzelt getrocknet nach der ernte kopfüber aufgehangen einen luftbefeuchter rein und rlf auf 56-59 eingestellt. Abluft auf Stufe eins gestellt und ganz unten einen venti auf schwacherstufe gegen die Wand gerichtet. Ich habe den Raum nachts abgekühlt und dann tagsüber isoliert also Fenster und Tür zu damit die Temperatur in etwa bei 20 Grad war im durchschnitt. Die ernte ist 11 Tage getrocknet und war im Glas perfekt bei 62-65% rlf. Daraufhin habe ich eine woche lang jeden tag einmal die Gläser geöffnet für etwa 10 min. In der zweiten Woche nur noch alle 2 Tage 10 min. In der dritten Woche alle drei tage nur 5 min und nach der 4 einmal die woche. Dannach ab und zu nur noch. Im laufe des curings wurde es immer milder und schmackhafter. Es roch nach dem curing ganz anders viel harmonischer und manche strains so stark das man wen das Glas offen war die ganze wohnung gerochen hat.
