Did i over dry?

Smokey57 said:

actually it is rocket science (almost). THE PROCESS according to you is dry it for two weeks. it i let my buds dry for two weeks in my climate they would be dryer than dust. I am not going to buy a new heating system for my house so i can control the humidity in my whole house just to dry some herb. you were the one that mentioned 10% - 15% moisture content. all i wanted to know was how you measured that. instead of answering you go on one of your tirades.

Ya fuck it your not my type of grower - jar bud at day five day three for your humidity and assume the world over if ever a crop was grown or dried in low humidity the result was shit weed - fuck before this modern age one day of 20% humidity and crops harvestsxand everything just crumbled to dust.

Fuck dude ive really struggled to protect my bud from the instant death humidity brings, with my heating on during winter it was 20% humidity and every plant and harvest just pure dust i tell ya....

Thank fuck for boveda, i now hang them on every spare space of wall in my grow room and have exspensive rh monitoring equipment of fuck knows how id get smokable bud.

Need you dumdasses to teqch me how wet my bud should be when jarring - exact moisture so i can takemeasurement with my lab equip and lastly the exact science of moisture and enzymatic process since i know you all know this shit and i dont.

Again after ten years looking forward to real bud not this constant dust you get if you accidentally leave your weed hanging too long....

I thought id have the same problem, its winter and the whole house is 20% humidity, grow room is 30% which is perfect for late flower but i was worried about conditions when drying.

Just harvested 2 days ago, im using a humidifier in a spot in my basement blocked off with garbage bags to keep it dark also to add more or less airflow to keep the humidity in check. with the setting on low and and figuring out how much venting to have with the garbage bags i can now keep my humidity anywhere from 45-60 or even higher if i do the higher setting. I'm sticking to 55-60 RH and 60 degree temps, trying to go low and slow. Day 2 of drying and they still smell amazing

Yep but its dry enough to smoke after a week but give it another so its not releasing moisture into the jar. After two weeks it will loose that green taste. Crap bud is always crap no dry or cure can change it.

The fact you can smoke dried bud without the need to jar it and that many here do should hint at the actual dryness you want before jarring. Forget meters and boveda packs, spark up a joint of your harvest and that will tell you everything.

Im not sure why peeps need to check humidity of jars if bud is dry and you didnt jar in humid conditions then your bud will store mold free.

Dried bud still has ten percent or so moisture - at this level it grinds well smokes well and stores welk. This is enough for the cure to take place you dont need it wetter and all that modern ruvmbbush peeps do.

To overdry bud simply apply mild heat and see how dry it actualky is when you force that ten or so oercent out.

I cant say more, there is a large crowd of blind leading the blind, hit me up when you tire of their advice complex stuff and damp bud

You keep saying you let it hang for 2 weeks. I think I remember you actually saying it can't be over dried in that amount of time. Im sure it's because of my dry apartment this time of year. But no way in hell could I hang dry for that long. It would crumble to dust if I tried that. I over hang dried a plant a couple weeks ago in less than a week. Maybe I missed something?

I thought 55 was the number im aiming for still hitting 61 over night. My buds don't feel dry just light and little sticky

If you dry low and slow you wouldn't even need to cure in jars, that's what a few people in here are trying to tell you. You will get much better smell and taste from a 2 to 3 week dry at 60/60 then doing the whole jar, burp, and cure for months thing.
