Re: drying out dense nugs??????

You can try a water cure, it does the trick for powdery mold and things of that nature.

i just looked up water curing it looks like it makes the bud kinda ugly my buds dnt have mildew i just dnt want them to get mildew well drying out
is there another way of airdrying for dense nugs? thanx for the help

lower humidity and higher airflow are my first thoughts.

If they are hanging in a dark closet, how often is the air changing in the space? If you are just recirculating the same air, it won't dry as fast. You need to get the moist air out and drier air in. You may want to get a damp-rid bag or something similar to reduce the humidity in the closet as well. (do you know what the temp and humidity of your dry space is)

a brown paper bag or paper corrugated box should do it.
