i wonder if the drip clean can help keep recirculating reserviors gunk & build up free...

my buddy uses H&G and has sworn by it for years. he e&f in rockwool cubes..... he grows buds the size of a person's head... seriously, size 7 colas!
granted its not one of "the finer" smokes to partake of but he sure grows big fat colas.

he switched to AN's conny line per suggestion & "free" hook up from the hydro shop owner. ran a cycle of it, told me he wasn't happy with the results, and went back and H&G.

So I did a partial harvest on one of the trays...

The stash is getting low, so it's time to do some drying...

I didn't weigh them wet, but I know this will be my lowest yield so far....

These are some of the clones that I accidentally spilled some of my miniaturizing potion on, so while they are not full blown miniatures, they are pretty dang small...lol...

I expect no more than 10g each on average.. and that sucks!!!

Anyways.. here is the drying rack...

:joint::peace:

Really?!?!

It's a piece of string with some window screens from the hardware store and clothe pins to hold it together...

It's about as hoky as it gets...lol...

But thanks! lol... they work...

Here is a question for you or anyone else around....

What is the ideal temperature and humidity to properly dry your buds..?

I have control, I just don't know what's best...

Thanks!

Thanks!

It's a wardrobe, so it's dark..

I have a heater running on a thermostat inside, a circulating fan and an exhaust fan...

Last I checked it was 78F 50%rh...

These conditions will usually be ready for the jar in 3 to 4 days... not 7 ...

Humm.. I wonder what gives.. I must be starting my cure still a little wet, eh?!?!

nah man whe the buds break off the branches they're dry.
I've had it happen in 4 days in the summer... winter time is a little longer for me.
some folks swear "7 DAYS OR YOUR SHIT IS WET"... well thats BS you and I both know.

hey are you blowing your fans directly on your drying buds?

Nope.. it's pointed at the wall where it goes every direction...

and it is a really weak fan.. just to move the air around a bit...

And I like to jar my buds a hair early and have a slightly longer cure...

The first time I burp my jarsm the buds almost feel soggy again..lol...

Instead of closing and burping once a day,

I start by closing the jar for a bit every day and then leaving it open,,,

Until it gets to the opposite,,,

Stays shut with a burp every so often,,lol

I know.. fucking crazy..lol...

LOL...

But then again... sometimes I just throw a bud next to the toaster oven for a few and smoke it green ans wet...lol...

Anymore I just grab a jar of trim and run some through the screen...

Even dried trim will kick your ass if you top it with Kief...lol....

mine's done in 3 days....4 tops. my dryer is in my flowering room so it is in a place that stays a pretty constant 75. the humidity is around 50 most of the time. and mine is made out of wood. up off the floor. i just built a carpenter buddy of mine an aerocloner for his regular garden and he is making me a new dryer that is 4' tall and 2' wide and 18" deep with 8 racks with a door. a hole in the bottom and top with an inlet fan on the bottom and exit fan up top. will post pics in the journal when i get it all together in there.......very ugly in the room right now. other than having too many clones.

my trim keeps the locals safe from me when i run out in between harvests. i got one in the dryer now but to keep from smoking wet bud i finished off my scissor hash and those trim leaves (when not used for hash) fry and smoke within the day. and i spose i should gring my bud more but i never get kief....never. kinda bums me out.

sure can.......i will do pics on my journal as soon as he finishes it. but any/all info/help you need ....no problem. i have my wooden one on the floor (well, up a couple inches) but it only has one big looooong screen in it. so i wanted to go higher instead of wider. actually made be start to look at my room a lil bit diffenently. there is so much wasted space in there. $$ first then new ideas.

i think i want to work up something like this...i only have room for a long, skinny bud dryer as i dont have much floor space left. the tubberware bud dryer must be retired.

that will be about 17" x 17" and im not sure of the height yet, maybe 5-7' tall?

will have a 4" exhaust fan with a carbon filter up top, a passive intake down low with a regular filter that you use for the house central a/c.

i will hang colas up top, and popcorn on screens down bottom.

my only concern may be possibility of uneven drying. thoughts?

and what i meant was.... you said you need something to keep your people at bay when you run out... me too

i just use and compress dry trim and when its compressed, it looks like a midgrade (shake) weed brick hahaha
