How long would you guys dry the bud for at an average of 61 degrees F and 54% humidity? Mind you I want to collect Keef in my Grinder and trim bin so I want it a little extra dry. The drying method is dry 5 days on single branches trim into individual nugs and dry about a week.

7-14 days is a typical dry but depending on ur wet trim and climite can be forced to be shorter or longer u wanna be looking as how easy the dry leaf comes off the bud how well the branches snap small and big bottum an top etc a good drying climite is 60 f 60 rh all the way thru or as close to as possible the kief u want that keif to stay on ur bud as itll make it better socu dont want it falling off but if its good bud all u need to do is trim it up normally take all that shake crumble it up and shake it in ur bin for 5 minsish and then freeze it an repeat ull get lots of keif from that if u only want keif u want look into dry ice sifting or bubble hash

Washing your buds is going to mess with the amount of keif the buds drop, anyway. A lot will get knocked off when the buds get dunked, so just a heads up on that front. You could let it dry until branches can just snap off with no fibers trying to hold together. I'm not a fan of letting it dry this long anymore because too many terpenes degrade and you lose flavor. Between letting it dry that long and washing the buds, it won't taste very good. But, i hear it will be very smooth.

One thing a friend does is to place her trim in a ziplock bag and stick it in the freezer. Every now and again, she takes it out and bangs it up a lot... the trichs fall off and all she's really left with is the keif... Good luck!
