    Default Drying too quick?

    Hey peeps, currently drying with a RH of 47-50 and temps around 21-22c.

    Outer leaves seem dry, not crispy. I've checked the stem and they aren't giving yet, it's only been 2 days but feel they're drying too quick. Or is it me just being overly cautious?

    I've made sure the fan is not blowing at the buds, and the air circulation is good.

    figures sound ok,im down closer to 18c myself but thats just the ambient temp of the room.

    they will be crispy slightly on outside as theyre drying outside inwards so nothing to worry about,patience will pay off in the end.

    if you are worried about your temps perhaps split the erb into two different lots ,areas/temps etc and try that way.air movement is the only critical bit really,in tent and also off out via the filter.

    but yeah,just need patience

    I've made the mistake of jarring up to soon because the outside of the nugs were dry and crispy only to find still loads of moisture inside the nugs so now i don't panic and as said "be patient" i'm drying at the minute min temp' 18C max 19.8C as long as the fan isn't blowing directly onto crop all will be pukka, good luck bro' G'.

    The stems are beginning to snap when I bend them. Does this mean they're ready to cure?

    Stem snap usually means they ready brother, i'm on my 5th day drying and gonna check mine this afternoon the outer buds are very dry and crispy so i'll try the stem bending and if they snap i'll be bringing them indoors and into a large cardboard boot box and get the hygrometers in there see how they read, all the best mukka, G'.
