I was forced into pulling buds off the hanger before the stems got crispy. The outside of the buds are crispy, but the stems are still REAL BEND-Y...
It's a bit over 2oz, hung for about 3 days in 40% humidity. I trimmed the buds down to about ping-pong size clipping away the biggest stems.
Right now they're in a plastic, lock-n-lock with a hygrometer that's at 56% after like 2hrs.
This is my very first grow. I've NEVER gotten this far. Any advice would be greatly appreciated... kinda worried that I screwed it up (again)
Thanks in advance guys!

The plants are still getting rid of most of its moisture within that 3 day period. 40% RH is also really low. I would recommend putting them on screens at this point to continue your drying process and up the RH to 50-55% with good airflow if you've already trimmed. Drying generally takes between 5-12 days or more depending on all of the main factors (RH/Temp/Airflow/air exchange)
Unfortunately, I'm not in a situation where I can lay out bud on screens. Keeping the smell under control is the whole issue with having to take them down early. The next grow this won't be an issue, I'll have another tent just for drying. But that's then, this is now LoL
If you're able to lay them out on parchment once or twice a day under a hood vent on your stove top it may help a bit as well. Even 10 minutes at a time. I hope it all works out for you and you get some quality product. Mine are currently on day 3 of hang drying at 55 to 60% RH and probably another 10 days or so to go. It'll take some tinkering but you should be able to get results đ
I miiiight be able to get away with that... thanks bro
I aim for 62% in the container. If it goes above 65% then they are at risk for mold so you may need to remove from the bags to reduce. You said they were at 56%, I'm curious to know if it raised up after or what.
Actually, it did go up... went up to 64% in less than an hourđą So I unlocked the lock-n-lock and cracked the seal, but didn't completely pull off the lid. Now it's sitting at 50% which is a tiny bit higher than the room it's sitting in...
@NuisancePanda Hope you're able to stabilize at 62%
So should I seal it up and just keep burping it when it gets up past 64%
Last night I left it cracked, not open... and it stayed around 50%
I was gonna keep that up for the rest of the week and try to start (trying) curing after that...
What do you think?
Mine did the same thing. I put mine in a jar and let the moisture even out in the buds For 12 hours. Then checked them by touch to see how moist the outside was and see how even the moisture was. Then just open the jar shake it around to loosen them up. Once the buds evened out then if still too high would put them out on a paper plate for 15 to 30 minutes then back in the jar. These are my prize buds that it work out. Now they are in a jar with a humidity pack at 62%. Day after day.
Gorgeous girls man... thanks for the input. It gives me some hope LoL
What's the strain, and medium??
