Drying Techniques, Which One?...

cheetah844started grow question 3 years ago

I have a question on drying, what are your opinions? 1)drying the whole plant fan leaves & all 2) drying the whole plant with only fan leaves removed 3) wet trim, cutting each branch off separately & then hang drying I'm looking for best quality flower not the fastest.

I think I'm going this route as a test... I'll cut off all of the fan leaves. I feel they'll get crispy & as soon as their touched they'll crumble onto sticky trichomes. I'll pull a couple branches off & dry singly but leave sugar leaves attached. Then dry the rest of the plant without fan leaves whole.

I don’t like wet trimming personally. It’s easier but outcome not as good IMO I pull the main branches off 12-18” sections, pull off any leaves I can see the stem/petiole of.. then hang to dry.. then trim remaining leaves after full dry is complete

For me wet trim Feels like I have less waist as it’s easy to use in things. Your Plants look sweeet 🤙

My personal preference is for wet trim... drying fan leaves is silly and shriveled up become a nuisance... and you lose too much with dry trim unless you've got a set up that allows you to strain out the keif...

Option one is the best. Dry the whole plant fan leaves & all.

I got to harvest in 14 days: in order to have enough time to cure it before leaving home for 2 weeks (safety first: is a period of floods in here, I just can't take the risk). I had a pretty long vegetative stage but I'm gonna finish it at 13 weeks. Am I gonna ruin it it, right?

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.

How long after the last flush, do you wait until you chop your plant? Do you let it dry out so the pot is nice and light before you harvest? Or is a little moisture left in the soil ok? Did last flush 48 hrs ago and I'm itching to chop her down, but still slightly damp soil

I have two drying options for my one plant. Wine fridge with perfect temp or closet with perfect humidity. Which is best?Should I dry my one plant in a wine fridge with a compressor that causes the humidity to fluctuate between 50-70% but can be set to a perfect 60f, or should I dry in a closet with perfect 60% humidity but temp at a steady 74f with no way to lower it? Perfect humidity or temp? Thx
