Drying Secrets

I need to hear some drying secrets. I've got a legal 6 plant grow in a 4x4 tent in a bedroom closet. When they get cut other clones will be going into the tent to replace them almost right away.

It is the drying location that concerns me.

Options:

1. Detached garage that has no power/heat.

2. Small shed, has power, but is located under the family deck and I'm concerned about the smell wafting upwards toward the deck and expose me for the stoner that I am.

3. Same grow tent...put bud into paper bags to keep it dark in the bag. Warmer, and lower in humidity.

4. Let mold happen, smoke it anyway. Aggravate asthma from the mold, have a coughing breathing fit and die in the tent. Small buds form on my balls and my grow partner uses me as compost for the next soil mix.

5. Your idea that works, results in zero mold and can process somewhere between 6oz to a pound.

The person who comes up with the best drying method will win jack squat, but you will get a smile from me and a hearty thank you.

Have a good growing season.

I like #4... Just kidding. From what I've read pretty much keep some good air flow where ever you dry it and you should be good, don't put a fan directly on the buds though because they'll dry too fast. Pretty sure heat degrades thc, so i'd keep it relatively cold in there... Not cold but like room temperature.

In a cool dark place for 15 days, temp around 60-70 degrees humidity around 50, good air flow never blow fan directly plants NEVER! Cure in a air tight glass and remove top daily to release gases and bud sweetens and ripping. Are depends on bad you need to toke!

people way over think the drying process.

I just hang mine anywhere i have space. Whenever the stem snaps i put them into jars. open the jar for 15 mins or so every day for about week then smoke.


I do a little thing I called the "clothes hanger dangler" lol to save on space.

just take a wire hanger and hook your mini colas or whatever on all the way across then repeat with another hanger and hook the second one to the middle of the first one. You can do this all the way down to the floor.
