I am getting ready to start harvesting and I love idea idea with the box and clips. Does anyone out there use this method?
The way I was planning on doing it, I have a piece of PVC that’s about 6’ long and 6’ high. I was going to hang them from the PVC in a spare bedroom with a ceiling fan running on high and the room has black out shades and its dark. Will that work? Here is what one of them looks like below. She’s about ready.
The best place to dry is any place that you can maintain temp at ~68F and RH at ~60%.
Right now I am at ~70F and about 45%RH. Is that going to be ok? I have a humidifier that I can put in the room.
Fan on low is better. A lot of breeze is not great. Can dry them too quickly. Dark and as mentioned above good temp/rh. Can live with 50 rh and 70 temp if have to. When i do not have optimal temps i dry trim. The fan leaves. will slow the dry if warm or low rh. Trim them up after ready to cure. A little more work but the flowers will dry much better with the fans protecting them just me. I use a WeDryer anymore since I am lazy.
I would not suggest that. That is just a mold magnet.
I always use a humidifier in my drying room during Winter to maintain RH at 60% and have done so without any problems.
I am in the desert with 75* and 35% and I wet trim taking off all the fan leafs till its just bud on branches and hang in the hall closet.
I only hang 2 or 3 days till Sugar leaf starts to be crunchy, then I pop all the buds off the branches and using quart baggies I bag them in one ounce each baggie, and let them sweat over night with a hydrometer in one of the bags, I use a inexpensive manual meter
Then to slow down drying I lay out the buds for a couple hours at a time
Then into the bags for the night to sweat, the repeat for a few days till my hydrometer reads 58 to 62 % humidity in the baggies, then into groove bags to cure, or your curing method. This works great for me, good luck with your harvest
Thank you!
Great info. Thanks you!

Cardboard box is my usual drying spot.
Hole cut in either side and covered with carbon filter material.
With strings for individual branches or remove them to hang whole plant.
It’s kinda small but does ok for my 5 or 6 oz auto yields.
Bingo!! Thank you.
I dry in basement with wedryer Xl do a wet trim my temperature is 68 and humidity is 42 idry for 5 days then put in brown paper bag for a day then in grove bags for curing
A wet trim from small auto
Thanks!! What are Grove bags and were can I get some?
Nice harvest
Grove bags are used for curing and take the place of glass jars and the good thing is you don’t have to burp them you can get them from amazon
Hey man groove bags are the replacement for jars when you cure your weed after drying. Google groove bags and you can buy directly or on Amazon too. They are mad with a plastic that allows the bad gases out without burping. Get your weed to 58 to 62% humidity, put it in bags and forget it. Hope that helps @thebagman
Hey thank you @TOUGH-TONY127 appreciate it my friend
Just order some. Thank you. I don’t want to ask a stupid questions but rather new at this. When you say “get your weed at 58 to 62 percent humidity”, how do you check that? And this is during harvesting, right?
I use a cheap manual hydrometer, put my weed in a baggie with a ounce of drying buds,
They sell cheap digital hydrometers that are smaller lol when you dry your bud you need below 62% humidity to keep from getting mold, I prefer 58% it grinds better Here’s my current closet grow, three plants in there
Great info! Thanks
Watch this it’s better than I can describe on here

Great find! Always good to be able to show someone vs trying to explain it.
