Hey Growmie, when your drying tent runs too hot, it can really mess with your harvest — terpenes evaporate, smell fades, and buds dry too fast, which can leave them harsh or grassy. Here are a few things you can try to bring those temps down: 🔧 What you can do: Move the tent to a cooler room if possible. Basements are great, attics are usually way too hot. Dry during the night when temps are naturally lower. Use a timer to run your fans only at night if needed. Frozen water bottles near the intake – simple DIY trick, but it can drop the temp a couple degrees. Turn your fans down a bit – strong airflow can heat things up. Just make sure there’s still enough air moving to avoid mold. Keep any dehumidifier outside the tent – they push out warm air. No lights in the tent during drying — even small ones add heat. If nothing works, you can always go old-school and dry in paper bags in a cooler, dark room. Slower is better than too hot and fast. Goal = cool, dark, and slow. Rushing the dry = lost flavor and smell. Take your time and your buds will reward you! 🌿🔥 Congrats on the harvest & happy drying! ✌️
