High Drying Temp

SmoothGlue1702started grow question 10h ago
I know the desired drying temp/humidity is 60-70F and 45-55%. However, the best I can do in my current setup is 82F and 52%. I'm I doomed? I dont have the ability to add AC at this point. I am about a week or 2 out from harvasting 2 small autoflowers and this is my first grow

t's not 'doomed' You will lose a higher proportion of the more volatile compounds... the stuff with much lower boiling points than the rest. It just evaporates at a faster rate at 82f vs 60-70f Loss over time is inevitable... the rate of loss is what we impact. If you smoke it all within a few months it's even less of a concern. Longer term contexts might see a greater diffrence in quality 1-2 years out if you dry it with less heat. THC has a very hig BP so it won't make much of a difference in regard to potency. At worst it slightly impacts flavor in near-term.... whatever flavor or effect the more volatile compounds cuase is what is lost faster than if in a more ideal situation.

Sometimes you have to work with bad conditions, depends on your enviroment and the personal Possibilities. Particularly in summer months it can be a challange. Some strains come out better and some suffer more under high temps, how 0011000 said, it depends on the chemical compontens aka terpens, flavonoids etc
