How long should I dry? It's very warm, around 30, and dry; the device says 44%, is that good?

Hey 👋 I agree with Yan402, the temperature is a bit too high. The humidity is, in my opinion, in the optimal range. You can quickly tell if you're in the perfect window when the stems break and crack when bent. If the break is slightly fibrous, then you've hit the optimal time. Unfortunately, you shouldn't smoke it right after drying. It's possible, but it's still a bit harsh and definitely not flavorful yet... I would recommend at least 3-4 weeks of curing, just because it tastes better and it does justice to your efforts... it should be worth it 🤷🏼 Good job, wishing you at least as much success on your next grow 👊🍀🖖

Drying and curing is one of the most IMPORTANT steps. If not the most important step. Don't over look it. You are basically trying to dry your plants in one of the worst places imaginable. Hot, Humid, extremely bright. At that rate you may as well pack the tent up and go to the dispensary and buy your stash. You will be lucky to have anything that is smokeable if it does not rot in your tent. at least keep the drying area lower than 70f and at least 55 percent humidity and you should get a decent dry. Ideally closer to 60 degrees F and 60 percent humidity

Hey, first of all, I would dry without a lamp. It should be dark if you want to keep growing; take your basement or a separate room, make it dark, and ensure air circulation and fresh air. The 30° you have is due to the Mars Hydro TS 1000, which I also have; it radiates some heat. Hang the things in a separate room. Then after about 7 days, you can already try it. If you want it better, of course, then go for fermentation. Personally, I do half and half more often because I need that :D You got this. Stay high, Growtyp

30c and 44%? It'll dry fast. 4-5 days? When it first feels dry/cripsy on outside, it probably has 1/2 day longer to dry. If you seal it up and the outside gets soft/moist again, remove from sealed container and let it dry longer. Get some boveda 2-way humidity packs . They give room for error. they can absorb a few grams of moisture or provide some, if needed. so many variables impact drying time so it's hard to give a good estimate. bud size, bud density, temp, rh, circulation (hopefully not direct wind) etc... you are doing what you can. You hung an entire plant which slows down drying. If it's 30c / 44% in future, i'd also wait to trim it... pruning off leaves speeds up drying process. Dry trim might help, but it wouldn't have made a huge difference here. handful of hours longer? A better environment willbe mid 60F and 60% rh. Light is your worst enemy, followed closely by heat. A small closed area during initial drying is not ideal. People use tents, but i don't know why. in a tent a ciculration fan or dehumidifier to cntrol the intial moisture gassed off would likely blast buds with lots of wind (increased evaporation rate) and heat. It can be done, but no reason to make it more difficult to do. A small room with a circulation fan (not directly pointed at drying buds) is all you need. Keep it dark and as close to the temp/rh stated above and you'll have 9-14 day drying times... depending on wet/dry trim or hanging plants vs buds on a mesh rack etc etc... i'd say as long as it takes ~5 days, it'll turn out 'okay but not great'. If it dries within 2-3 days it gets a noticeably worse smoking pleasure. Has that weird "green" taste. Sttrive to get it stretched out to 9-10 days as best you can. Too long and you risk microbial growth.

Are you drying in your tent with the lights on and another grow going?!?!?!?! This is a bad idea if you like terps. You should try to find a place as close to optimum and this is far from it. You need dark, cool, around 20C is fine, good airflow, but not direct on the flowers and around 55% humidity. You then need to cure your flower for the chlorophyll and other sugars in your plant to break down so it doesn't taste bitter and harsh on the throat. You are too hot, too dry and too much light. You need to find a better spot homie!

Hey Growmie 👋 Looks good so far! The drying time depends on temperature, humidity, and bud size. At 30°C and 44% humidity, it unfortunately dries a bit too quickly — ideally, it would be around 18–22°C and 50–60% humidity for a slow and even dry over 7–10 days. As it is now, the buds could be dry in 3–5 days, but then you lose flavor (terpenes) and it will be harsher when smoking. If possible, try to lower the temperature or increase the humidity a bit. Even a bowl of water or a damp towel can help. 👉 Check the small branches: If they snap cleanly, it's ready for the jar, but still needs time to cure. If they bend, it needs a bit longer. Even if it feels dry, curing in the jar for 2–4 weeks is important for it to become smooth and aromatic. Sure, you can try it before, but patience pays off. Good luck Growmie 🍀✂️🔥 — you're almost there!
