that's what i'm talking about m8 since covid everything has shot up man and this shit now with the energy jumping right up it's a joke, i had a great mentored grow and it went pretty smooth man without using nutes as well but i screwed up with the drying and curing as usual lol cheers m8

Why don't you do the same again, soil only grow, keep it really basic and tell use more about the drying and curing stage, the more we know the more we can help you.

I use a combination of methods to dry. Hang'em in my bedroom closet, 5 tiered mesh drying rack or Lawn and Garden 4 foot tall paper bags. Check with those cheap lil Amazon hygrometers. If I need a small branch to dry faster (if Im outta bud)? I bought a Colzer dehydrator that can start dehydrating at 63 degrees. Took forever but I finally found a dehydrator that can dry at super low temps.

Helluva temp range on that Colzer! Cheap too, paid like $70 on Amazon in the usa.

Cheers bud I’ve read about dehydrators a few times and have seen some good feedback on them, I’ve tried to dry it a couple of ways, in my growdrobe, in a herbdryer mesh thing with the fan that sits in it then in shoe boxes, the way I was thinking of getting the big brown bags this time but that didn’t happen, it seems to be going well this time I think so fingers crossed, it’s the knowing when to jar it that I can’t get right, they felt dry but sticky before I jarred them but the stems didn’t snap but they are at 62% rh in the jar so if it was still wet surely that would be a lot higher wouldn’t it

62% RH in the jars is what most people shoot for Scorpion. So your bang on!

i thought that thanks m8 but then i feel it at times and it still feels moist and the stems won't snap no where near really, so i've been thinking have i been jarring it to early

The stems don't always snap. Most of them just bend most of the time mate.

I've given up on this whole stem snapping business

When I harvest after a couple days I’ll grab a nug and put it into a pint jar with a temp/humidity sensor. If the RH goes up to 70% really over 65% I’ll hang the bud back up and continue to dry checking with different nugs to determine when to start the cure. I find this to make getting into that curing window of 60-65% (personal preference) much easier than snapping the stems. Overall leaving me with a better product in the end. Better flavor and smell, no harshness and able to be stored while retaining these qualities for longer periods because by dialing in my drying time I’ve made my cures much more effective.


Keep it cloudy growmies!!
