MistaOCanswered grow question 24d ago I’ve done several grows and tried various drying methods. In my experience, the following approach delivers the best results:
I cut the plant at the base, remove all fan leaves, and hang the entire plant upside down in a tent. Airflow is kept to a minimum—no direct wind should hit the buds. I aim for around 19°C (66°F) and 45–50% humidity.
The best results come when drying takes at least 10 days. I use the classic “stem snap test”: when the smaller branches make a soft snapping sound when bent—but don’t fully break—it’s the perfect time. Depending on conditions, this can happen after as little as 6 days.
At that point, I trim the buds off the plant, manicure and store them in jars or bags, burping them regularly to prevent mold.
