I’m glad you’re happy with your product, because that’s all any of us are looking for. I did a side by side of this with a hung dry cola from the same plant and for me the difference was day and night. I also realized that fridge drying is more or less fail-safe. Especially when I have to be out of the house for days, so I’ll go on drying in the fridge. But to each their own!
Most all weed bought online , from dispensary, or from dealer is never cured.
If you want to decrease your humidity then you need to increase air flow.
Right now I have a fair amount drying in my fridge. Still working out the best way to make this happen in my fridge.
The large jars appear to work best if the buds form a shallow pile. Small jars work with small amounts. Most of my oils get processed into infused oils on the day of harvest, so there's usually only a small amount left. My last harvest I saved more to dry low and slow than I processed into oil. Most of that is in that jar. The jar in the middle of the jar has slightly larger buds and is packed more than I typically do, but I'm experimenting. Same with the bag.
I discovered early on that the smaller you cut the buds the faster they dry. I now cut each individual flower bunch off and dry like that.
That's where I stand at this point. I've had success using small buds and layering them lightly in the jar. You want lots of surface area.
My humidity fluctuates up to 60% in the early stages of drying. If anyone has any ideas for bring it down, I'm all ears. Tonight it's settled to around 50%.
I use slow n low because of uncontrollable humidity in my drying area. The fridge (if working correctly) should have low humidity anyway and if I increased airflow by opening the fridge door I would lose the benefit of a slow dry in the fridge...If you want to decrease your humidity then you need to increase air flow.
It’s exactly this. Low and slow isn’t the only viable drying methodology, clearly. But it’s one that can be done in any climate really, that’s why it’s so good to share with the community. Anyone can do it the same way we all do, but with a few minor adjustments.
The freezer actually cannot be a source of humidity. It’s too cold for moisture to exist in the air and thus it’s a humidity sink. Ever notice how the frost builds up in your freezer? That’s deposition of moisture to ice.
I've read that with all the cross-breeding that has been done, it's the terpene profile that will dictate the effect rather than whether it's been labeled "indica" or "sativa," or whether it has skinny or fat leaves.
