Humidity whilst drying
Foxtrotoscarstarted grow question 5 years ago
Hoping someone could help. I’ve got my buds up drying but my RH is 70% and will not come down. I have it in a growing tent so I has air intake and carbon filter with a osculating fan AND a dehumidifier. Although it’s at 70% RH will it be ok?

That does seem very high. Is the room it's in very humid? Can you open windows and doors to help? Put a fan or aircon in that room? I'm sure it will be OK will take a long time to dry though, maybe trim each stem off and hang it instead of the whole plant.

it's not ideal. Keep close eye on it.
Can you grow in a larger area? leave lights off in a room or something? that way your buds don't impact the local environment so much.
if you can fit the duhum in tent, close it up and it'll work better. slow down intake/exhaust a bit for it to keep up. you don't need as much air with dead plants, but a little in and out is needed.

For a next time, or if you can find it for now, there's a product that retain moisture, Calcium Chloride. You may find on dehumidifier in market, without chemical smell, find the neutral. Or buy the powder and make your own dehumidifier. Care not to dry too much with that!

70% is too high for drying. between 50-60 is ideal.

Hi!
If you cant find any ways to lower the humidity then you might have to put some heat to the room so no mold or bud rot will come!! What is your temperature in there? Just keep the airflow as good as possible and I think that you might want to consider so other place to dry them?
Im not 100% certain how bad 70%RH is but I think that as long as you have everything else set good you dont need to worry

To harvest, or not to harvestCurious what others thoughts are - I realize this diary is seriously lacking. I only stumbled here on week 8 of this experiment.
Do you think this girl is nearing, right at or still some time left before harvest?

Right harvest time - Trichome color expierencesCan you please share your experiences regarding the right time for 48h darkness + harvest?
WW 70% Indica/30%Sativa, if the trichome color is milky it will be a head fucused instead of body focused effect
Expectation:Harvest time should support the ratio type of strainWeek 8

Is this still good or is it ruined?Hung plants to dry and waited for stems to snap, unfortunately when I checked the buds were so crispy they basically crumbles in my hands. I heard this could be mold/rot also. Did I mess up and over dry my buds, or is this something much more awful? Is this still salvageable?

Should I trim/jar now or wait another day or 2?Today is day 4 of drying and I've unfortunately had my temps around 68 and humidity at around 42%. The buds feel pretty dry/on the verge of crispy but the stems still have some bend. Should I jar tonight or will the moisture even out and wait for that snap? Thanks for any help!

What do you all think?What do you all think?
The harvest will be in a few weeks, in Germany only 50g is allowed dry
Do you think it will be more or less?
I know it will be hard to tell from a picture how much dry remains, but I hope there are some estimates.
