Your RH should be at around 55-60% for a good slow dry.. even though your buds feel crispy on the out side they’re probably still moist in the centre. Check daily by bend stems. If the make a snapping noise they’re ready to throw in the jars. Good luck bro 💪

Yeah it happens. Once you get the buds in jars and after a few weeks the smell will come back.

Good Plan for DryingI am at 2 days and 12 hours of drying
I would do my conditions as described in the table.
limiting for me will be the temperature below 16.5C so that from day 9 with ~16.5 RH 56 will drive to the end ?
Good plan or too complicated ?
I have time and want a good resultOther. Harvest - Drying

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?4 months ago

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?Other. Mold

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!Other.
