What's the RH in the tent with just ambient air?

 

[oldsmokey]

Just monitor it and manually adjust the humidifier or dehumidifier whichever the case may be.

Mid 50%..as soon as the plants were put in the tent it jumped to 69%. Dehumidifier is on now and bringing it down.

Ya i think i got it down now. My dehumidifier only adjusts in increments of 5% so there is some playing around to do so I can dial it in.

I would rather have it a little on the moist side and have to burp it more In the jars. Opposed to beinh to dry.

About 3/4 of the way through bud washing thursday morning. I'd just like to mention up front how much fun harvest day was.

 

[oldsmokey]

I can think of worse ways to spend the day.

 

[oldsmokey]

So you're not using the tent for drying as planned?

Ya im with you on that. I'm shooting for 62% after tomorrow.

So can I. It was just a really long day. Tomorrow will be a good day again !

Yes I am. Plants are hung up in the tent right now. The garage hang was after bud wash.

 

[oldsmokey]

Long day but when it's over it's worth it!

 

[InTheShed]

Looks like a great harvest sg! Always a relief to get it down and hanging.

Here's a pic from part way through loading the tent !

With that much stem and the fan leaves on them I think you can keep the RH in the mid-50s for a few days. They'll be drying slowly because of all the greenery alone.

I thought I cut them too long. It actually would have helped with space if I would have cut them shorter as well. I'll try a set point of 56% with a plus/minus 2 for maybe 3 or 4 days?

Oh ya and as far as the trimming I was going to go all the way but my good trimmers broke and my back up does not have the pointed end.

That should be good! The idea is to keep the bud stems from snapping (when you bend them) too early in the process.

I never use the pointy end when I trim. My trimmers don't even close at the tip anymore! I take out all the fans by hand and only use the trimmer to take off the sugar leaves.

That makes sense. I was also wondering about the drying process. Im assuming some buds will be done before others. If that's the case should I be pulling some before others?

 

[InTheShed]

Absolutely! Small buds will dry faster than big colas, and there's no reason to let some over dry while you wait.
