So I have this little tank of a plant and the buds are huge and dense. My concern is that these big buds won’t dry properly in my 2×4 tent. Since it was so dense instead of cutting it down as one whole plant I chopped this girl up into it’s main colas which I’m not sure was the best idea. Does anyone have any other words of wisdom on this?
I’ve heard if it dries too fast some of the chlorophyll gets locked into the buds and you get cut grass or hay like odors…but with those being so large I imagine they’ll do fine.
Either way it’s going to be hard to dry them slowly during the winter…I had 21% humidity today…eyes automatically watering all day to keep them from turning to raisins.
Last year I took a stem off my first plant and ran it through a food dehydrator so I could avoid an Illinois dispensary prices and it tasted like I’d mixed good buds with some grass clippings…not great, not terrible, still worked but I do not recommend it.
If you can get that temperature way the hell down while she dries out , absolute darkness , it’ll go slower for sure . I’m not sure what would happen if you put it in a fridge in a paperbag , but I’m guessing it would dry and cure better . I have dried and cured in permeable paper bags with success every time . In fact , it makes a flavour like no other . Good problem that you have there ! Good luck and nice work !!
Don’t do anything silly. Just monitor it. Don’t put it in a sealed container until it’s fully dry
It’s a nice bud but I’m sure you will deal with even bigger in the future. Just relax and breath no matter how big it is you can handle it. Tee heee haaa haa
get your temps close to sixty and have indirect air moving around in there. As for the RH mark of 68% I would worry it might make this dry too slow if temps were right. I’m guessing really but I might run my RH down toward 60 to dry and see how she progressed. You may be checking this giant nugget daily until you discover the right combo. Beauty dude!
oops i am backwards here. Sorry just switched to sanka. I NEED CAFFEINE!!! Temps 68, RH closer to 60. Glad I noticed that brain fart. Hate to help you mess it up. Still in a funk from the russet mite disaster we just went thru so my head is mush. Sorry
