So my girl had been in the drying tent for 10 days now. Keeping temps in mid to low 60s and humidity about 55 to 65 . No lights. I peek in on occasion to try snap test. Still no snap just bend. I think itā€™s getting clise but with this being my first harvest definitely getting antsy. Tipsā€¦suggestionsā€¦funny antidotes? šŸ¤Ŗ ![received_1531955443947188](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/d/1/7/d1795d13c5edf863bd7d3089bcaa1fafcfe7c103.jpeg) ![20221207_181001](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/5/0/b/50bd33d0b7ad5e58d344da0226e49f1583775227.jpeg) ![Screenshot_20221216_110625](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/d/2/9/d297a489c68aba2312f1aa4aef90a18e603169bf.jpeg) šŸŖ“ ---

Youā€™re keeping almost perfect ideal conditions and thatā€™ll stretch out the dry and enhance everything you want in the smoke. 10 days is a good long dry. Do you have a moisture meter available? Some growers probe them to monitor the %ā€™s. At 10 days I pull mine down and into 5 gal buckets to begin curing. I open them daily to remove any excess rh within. As I trim they get transferred into jars and the burping continues. ---

> [@Blackrose](#): > > Still no snap just bend. I donā€™t wait for the branches to snap, if they bend and slightly feel like they are breaking, without going back to original shape, means they are close. I now use a lumber moisture meter to check buds. When they reach 11-13 % I put them in Grove bags. ---

Have searched, never saw a device with probes. Lumber, makes sense now. Thanks. ---

If the feel pretty dry when you touch/pinch them, Iā€™d jar them up with one of those cheap hygrometers and see where youā€™re at. I also use a wood moisture meter. Theyā€™re pretty cheap. My local harbor freight has them in store for $13.99 ---
