    Default Made a mistake!

    Hi all, looking for a bit of advice as I think I've just ruined all my weed.

    Cut it all down yesterday, hung it all up on rows of string in a 1.2x1.2m tent and all was looking great. It was all nice and hard and looked and smelled great!

    But I'm an idiot and forgot to unplug the light. So the next day come around and timer has switched the light on and it was a further 6 hours before I noticed. Now instead of the dry solid weed I had before it is all soft and moist.

    How do you think this will affect the quality of the weed as well as the overall weight? Has anyone got any advice on how to make the best of this situation? It just isn't looking good at the moment.

    6 hours with the lights on shouldn't be too bad. Weed normally takes around 5 to 7 days to dry, during this time, the buds will go soft but it will pull in as it dries. The drying process normally removes 75% on the wet weight.

    As Loki says it should be fine.
    It goes all soft an smells shit like hay sometimes
    But after a few days it'll crisp up an go harder again
    Smell may be a tad better.itll all come good after a few weeks in jars.
    Just don't over dry it.

    Ditto what the two lads said. Not going to be a major issue. Airflow and a nice low humidity will sort out your buds.
