Drying Temp and Humidity

Hi all.....Brand New to the site! I have been reading a a ton of your posts and have learned a lot.

Working on my first Official grow.....2 plants , 7 weeks into flowering.

My question is about my Drying Cabinet. The current temp is 72F and Humidity is at 39%.

Will these conditions be OK for my hanging/drying?

yep sounds about right, keep it dark and place a fan in the room pointed away from the plants ..

you don't want to high or low temps, in the low ranges of what you normal have in your house is normal pretty good, to high will make em crispy since they dry to fast, to cold and they take to long and can get mold etc.

high humidity is a big no go, over 50% is`t to "prefer" but agin to low is`t good either 30-40% is about right IMO

keep a eye on em, with your temps/RH I say 4-5 days before they begin to get ready for the jar`s

Slipon...Thanks! Ive got the dark part covered however, the fan issue I am still trying to figure out.

You see the cabinet I am using is a stand alone 3x2x4 unit. I did drill some holes in the cabinet to help with airflow but I obviously cannot put a fan in the cabinet directly.

What are your thoughts on cutting a hole in the side/back of the cabinet and using a small fan to blow air into the cabinet?

I agree sounds good. Maintaining perfect dark is the most important thing.

I like to dry my buds in a small grow tent with an extractor connected to a temp/fan speed controller and i ALWAYS make sure humidity never falls below 50% nor goes above 60% and never higher than 20C temp. It takes about 3 weeks to get buds ready to cure. I think creating an environment where the buds need an extra week to get that moisture out really improves the taste and chlorophyll degradation. This said I have also dried dense ass buds in just under 10 days with same method but higher fan speed and humidity 40-50 and temps just above 20C and got very nice smoke too though i really think a 3 week dry is the absolute tits!

BUMP.....still need fan advice plz

hey marachuan i always use a fan to blow cool dry air over my material. i go for a shorter drying time to help prevent any mold spreading. i have an old house. what about a small extraction fan plumbed into the top of the cabinet? and drilling smaller intake holes down low? not ideal but may work for ya?

corp....thanks man...I think that is a good idea. Will install today!
