@Amateur-Grower , i guess the question is, how are you drying? In an effort to control smell, I over dried my last one. Had my duct fan and filter pulling negative pressure n the tent and a circulation fan funning at the bottom, but not blowing on material. Dried only 7 days and when bagged is was 50% give or take. But the outsides were crispy but the stems still read 23% the buds read a tad low, i think around 8. Think I will adjust my strategy for next go round. So its a learning process. If Iâd waited till the small sticks were brittle the stuff would have burst into flames just by giving it a mean glance. Last time I measured moisture only in the bud and nailed it. Stayed just sticky enough to be satisfying and stayed right at 62%rh the whole cure with no effort from me.
I mustâve over dried my auto as well cause the hygrometer is at 48% for 24 hours now. It was small plant and shouldâve figured it would dry quick. But I use a AC and humidifier both set to 60 and a desk fan to blow air around the room.
Rehydrate it. Put a leaf, small slice of orange peel, or tiny piece of burrito in the bag or jar. Monitor the humidity and once it reaches 62%, remove it. Not a necessity but i try to add it so it doesnât just sit on top of the bud but rather in the overhead air space within.
You are the best thank you for all your advice!
Hey i know this is an old post. I dried my buds for 7 days at 65/65, put my buds in the bags at 12% moisture, 2 weeks later and they had a nice smell. 2 weeks after that they now have like a minty different smell. Do yoy know why this could be?
