I decided the bathroom is the best possible place for drying as it's the coolest, smallest, darkest room in the house. Bathroom test: By partially filling the bathtub with water & placing a small fan pointed at it at low speed with the door closed I was able to raise the humidity pretty easily...

Thanks for the link to the humidistat.. I just googled "Why isn't my swamp cooler cooling?" & I think I understand now why it failed to cool the room off even though it did effectively raise the humidity as I'd hoped. Apparently, keeping the room sealed while it was running was the reason. I...

Good idea Harley.. I'll give it a try & see what happens. Will keep you posted... Thanks for all your help! Much appreciated :) Cyndi

Thanks Stink Bug for helping me determine maturity so I can harvest at the right time :) I don't want to harvest too early either! I would prefer a more energetic high as opposed to narcotic couch-lock which is why I chose a sativa dominant hybrid & may want to harvest a bit on the early side of...

I just had another crazy idea I thought I'd fly by you.. What if I were to hang the plants whole & untrimmed upside down from my shower curtain rod, partially fill the bathtub with water, close the door & add a small oscilating fan pointed at the wall for airflow? My bathroom IS the coolest...

Thanks for the advice I will hang the entire plants & dry trim later as suggested. Seems this is the best method due to my high temp/low humidity conditions to avoid drying them out too quickly. (I was kinda looking forward to trying out some wet-trim scissor hash but I guess I can forgo that...

The last & only other time I grew was many years ago & heat & humidity weren't an issue then. It's a lot hotter & drier where I live now. Re: swamp coolers. I know they become ineffective at cooling once the humidity gets above a certain point. While it did raise the RH to 55% pretty quickly...

Thanks for all the helpful advice :) I liked the suggestion of "try it out & see" so that's what I'm doing... So far, the cooler's been running 2 hrs. & seems to be working: Humidity is up from 39%RH to 51%RH, but you're right: I need some way to control it so will look around for the...

Hi all, Newbie here & it's my 1st outdoor grow (I only have two plants) They're just about ready for harvest & I'm trying to get a drying space/room setup. I live in central California & it's in the upper 90's here. The room where I want to dry (a spare bedroom) is around 80 degrees & 34% RH...
