Drying options
Mel_Macallanstarted grow question 5y ago
Hi guys! Does anyone here has a technique for drying without a designated closet or tent space? I live in a studio, and don't have a traditional closet i could use. What options would you recommend? I saw there is one using just a paper bag? I'm scaptical about that though...

Timing a 7d flush — will it over-ripen if I begin flushing when it's ready for harvest and keep it for 1 more week on flush juice?Need advice on timing a 7d flush. My 2nd grow, both (Sativas) flowered signif. longer than advertised (+2-4 weeks).
To know when to start flushing, do you visually estimate when a plant is no more t 1wk from harvest? If I start flush when it's ripe for harv, too late or ok?1y ago

Not complete darkness during drying ok?I will cut my plants tomorrow, hang them in my room and leave for 2 weeks to travel. How important is complete darkness during drying? The room (45rh, 22degrees) has heavy curtains, but some soft light is shining through, so I’m thinking to nail a blanket to cover the window.Other. Harvest - Drying

Harvest ready. Watered this morning. Wait an extra day?My OG Kush are ready! Trichomes are all cloudy with a good little of amber. Pistils are >70% brown and she looks nice. I watered this morning and the pot is still feeling heavy. Should I chop tomorrow morning or give it an extra dry out day? Does it matter? Anything else?Week 11

How should I prep this freaky fan flower for smoking?This plump lil flower growing on a fan leaf is getting picked off and smoked when I see the first amber trichs, should I put it directly in a small jar with a 2way humidity pack?
Trichomes seem to be aging faster than on normal inflorescence, touch slower than the ones on fans.4y ago

Thanks 🤙Week 8

Drying - I've tried it all!Drying, I cut each stem, hang from net, no fans on just extraction on timer every 2 hours for 30 mins. Temps held solid between 18-19 degrees and minimal trim removed beforehand. I can still notice the smell fading and a hay like one taking over. Does anyone have any advice?Week 11

How to recognise mould in drying budsI have harvested some buds from my White Widow auto more than 10 days ago. I hung it on a drying rack in a room with a ventilator. How do I know there is no mould inside? Does anyone have pictures of dried buds with mould to compare for me?Other. Harvest - Drying

Drying. Which option should I go for? [expert opinions required]1) Drying in a shed outside [gets very hot middays and low hum and low airflow]
2) Drying in a cupboard outside [also hot with sun hitting it directly but much much smaller than the shed]
3) Drying in an inside cupboard [which will make my room stink but with stable conditions]Week 14
