How to Dry buds for kief and trim for dry sift?
Jmaninthemidde420started grow question 6 months ago
Does anyone have any tips on drying your buds to make kief and dry sift without loosing terps on an extended drying cycle? Mind u the pic I used is just to throw a pic in there but that plant obviously isn’t ready

Two options for you:
- try fresh frozen bubble hash: you don't have to dry your buds, freeze them at harvest time. It's more work than for kief or dry sift, but the result is amazing.
- invest in a Freeze Dryer: it's a big investment (4000++$), but it can remove all the moist of your plant in a day or two. The water inside your buds are gonna be frozen, and then the heat and the depressurization will transform ice directly into water vapour and be sucked out of the plants, without returning to its liquid state (this phenomenon is called "thermal sublimation"). To be honest, I never have the money to test it myself. ><'

Wet trim and get the kief?Is it worth it to pause the drying process and wet trim?
I am mostly asking this since I read it's easier to wet trim and I can hopefully extract some kief from the sugar leaves with a grinder in the process.
What are your thoughts, leave it as is, or get that kief?

Can I dry hanging in a cardboard box, in the same tent as another plant still maturing ?I have one plant ready to harvest, the other which I suspect is a totally different variety is still at least a week 10 days away.I only have one tent & have to fly, under the radar. Would it work if I customise a cardboard box to hang the Purple lemonade in, with some air holes

Wait one more week before harvest or no?GG seems to be getting some nice colors. I keep getting paranoid about when to harvest. I want to harvest it now, trics look almost perfect but plant keeps throwing new white pistils. Keep asking the same questions, I'm sorry for that I'm insecure since it's my first harvestWeek 11

Will high humidity cause plants to stop drying? I can't get it below 65% consistently.I have been drying this one Zkittlez for 17 days and it seems like it stopped drying. Nothing has changed in days. The bend feels the same. The buds are still really loose and airy. They also don't snap off at all. Any ideas? Or is it obvious? Thanks!Week 14
