Drying

[Fletcherfive]

Put this in novice room before noticed.
Ok first time grow 4 plants all in flower just waiting for trichombes to cloud up.
My question is I have room can dry them in that can leave dark but can only keep a constant 20/21 c if use fan heater now that will drop humidity really low if I put few bowls of water in there would it combat that.
On side
Note with out heat it's 15/16c in day 10/12c night providing weather don't turn as now October in uk

Thanks

Heat with the fan on is fine, and you want low humidity for drying mate, so it looks like you're all good man. Make sure you still use extraction and filter though! Otherwise it's gonna stink!!

Dry as slowly as possible, it's recommend 2-3 weeks! But that's tough lol, a week to tend as is a good time, and tbf, te temps you have will help it dry slower, don't rush it, just keep an eye open for any mould whilst drying. Good luck man! Pics when you're done please, we all like a bit of bud porn lol

sorry i don't mean to hijack but do you think it would be ok to dry in tent because the humidity and temp is controllable ??
Thanks

[Macky]

It's where you should dry, with filter and extraction on

cheers mate . that's good cuz that's what ill be doing

There is a lot of different way to grow mate, slower the better. Good to do lots of research on what is recommended by different grow professionals, and see what suits you best. Just don't rush it, speed drying weed ruins months of hard work.

Grow... I mean dry lol

ok so about 2 weeks drying then ??

I you can mate yer. Slowly. Don't let the sticks get to the snapping stage! They're too dry then. You need to start the cure before that. I dry real slow, hang for 24 hours, then airtight container for 8 hours, this draws the moisture in the middle and evenly wets the bud again. Then hang for 16, ad back into containers for 6. Slowly reduce the time hanging and in containers. Take about ten days, maybe 2 weeks. But drawing out the moisture slowly like that give te plant time to break down more chlorophyll. Dry too quick, and that shot will get trapped in there and your bud won't taste as good, and for me, it's all about flavour
