Drying method

Paper bag is fine. Dry Till you get a stem snap then jar and burp daily, :) Im sure you know how to dry by now lol But others could have the ?

Perfeckt I use Cardboard flats boxes then candy boxes

Hello. I see your question is still open. Yes, that is all I use now to dry and cure my buds. I wet trim the branches as you take them off the plant. I hang the branches for 3 days in the summer and 4 days in the winter. Then I clip the buds off the branch into the paper bag. I use the paper bags that a 6 pack can fit into. I cut the top 1/3 off the bag so the buds don't have so far to fall. Put no more than 2 to 3 inches in the bag or you could get mold. Close the bag and hang it on the same lines you hung the branches. Have a small fan moving air around the room, not just blowing on the bags. Leave the bags closed for a week, then check. With something to poke with, I open the bag and smell inside. Then I separate the buds a bit and look in the middle. I'm looking for undried sugar leaves. If I can bend them and they spring back close the bag for a few more days of drying. If the sugar leaves don't bend back, or break it is dry enough to put into jars. That's it. your buds are cured. The bag traps the gas Etheline that the drying buds emit, this cancels out the bitterness of the chlorophyll and helps the buds taste great. The bag also wicks away the moisture a bit slower than just hanging, but it cures while drying. No more burping, shaking or dumping out the jar and fluffing up the buds to dry some more. Good Luck. Chuck. Just ask if you have more questions.

it will slow down evaporation rate, yes. If you want to slow down drying process, that can help.. is it enough? i don't have that kind of first-hand experience to guesstimate. can regulate further by leaving bag open or partly open etc... temps and ambient RH% will dictate rate of evaporation. Can cool it down or raise RH% (local to plant material is enough) to slow down drying process. Though, do becareful of raising RH too high... at somem point you'll create an environment ripe for microbial growth... an incubator with lots of food, lol. Keep it under 65% to be safe.. i'd even say a 60% as ceilng is better. Beyond that, i'd manipulate temps to further slow the process, if necessary. Unless it's drying in 2 days or less.. maybe 3... you shouldn't notice too big of a problem... the material feels different when it speed dries and is definitely harsher in my experience. I've had some dry slowly and others in 5-6 days of same exact genetics and i couldn't tell much of a difference, if any. That's not a large enough sample to cover all the diversity out there, but i don't think it helps much after a certain length... despite anecodotal claims.
