Harvested two plants the other day.
One 100% indica, the other 60/40 sativa dominant.
Trimmed both in my bowl trimmer wet, and placed in hanging baskets to dry. Side by side in the same room. A process that normally takes me about 3-4 days.
Check them today after 3 days. Indica is right in schedule. However the sativa dominant is super dry! Almost too dry. According to my hydrometers, 39-44%.
Anyway I’ll be rehydrating. My usual method is to place buds in a large mouthed glass jar. Place a dry, folded patch of paper towel on top. Then place a tiny square of soaked paper towel on top of that. Nothing “wet” us touching the buds. I have a mini hydrometer inside the jar to monitor.
I can usually easily rehydrate back to 58% by next day.
Anyone else gave any other method to offer? I’m all ears.
Throw a handful of fan leaves in there, it’ll gradually raise the humidity without over wetting or a wet rag or sponge touching buds, possibly causing mold or rot…
Whats the temp in the drying room?..I had that same over dried/ dried too fast problem this year with my Blueberry Muffin it was harvested in mid Sept. and the temps in the room got to 80F.way way too hot for a good dry…I dont have a/c so…I had to deal with it…
As far as re-hydrating I second that on using fan leaves if you have any all the other suggested methods the other guys said work well too…!
