    Default Hang drying bud for 10 days?

    Hey everyone,

    I'm going away for 10 days and was wondering if it'd be safe to hang dry my bud just before I leave?

    Would I still be able to cure it after those 10 days and get great results?

    The humidity in my small drying space is about 44% and temperature around 23c. I'm guessing I won't be needing a fan?


    Help greatly appreciated!

    need an extractor fan to pull out the humidity, not a circulating fan...
    also if is to dry is no problem, add some wet toilet paper to curing...

    Adding wet toilet paper to a sealed jar will not cure your bud. What it will do, is encourage mould. To cure, the buds must NOT be over dry. Adding moisture back, will not work.

    Agreed. Can I go without an extractor fan? Do you think the drying buds will stink up the corridor, behind two sets of doors? (I live in a flat)

    Thanks!

    Youve put all the hard work in shame to ruin it now.
    You really must be checking everyday when drying your buds .

    They will be fine for the 10 days but you will need your fans on or you'll be back to a kicked in front door, and a note from the local police. Also without air flow, you'll be at a higher risk of mould. Temps are a tad hot but should be cool.

    Crap, the only fan I've got is hooked up to the carbon filter inside the tent.

    Is it possible to split the airflow, and have the fan sucking air from inside the tent and the little area above it where I'll be drying? ^^

    Leave the extract fan on and try to get a desk fan just to blow the air around in the drying room. Don't have the fan blowing straight on the buds, face it to one side of the room so it circulates.
