I know, I wish I could, but the shed is the best I can do. Not only do I grow in stealth mode from the neighbors and Johnny law, but I hide what I do from the wife and kids. Lol. 2 years ago I lost a lot of White Widow colas when I harvested and hung damp plants. I did some trimming today and found 2 small areas of mold that I removed. Forecast looks a little more promising this week with partial sun and warm temps. I miss the years where I was able to harvest at first heavy frost. In those years, dew points/humidity was much lower.

@Clemon. Do you like drying the plant as whole instead of wet trimming? Is it a better dry? Ive only ever done wet trim should be harvesting within the next month.

If you can't move them to a different area, run a fan in the shed to move the air, reduce the chances of mold.

Cheers!

Back in the day I used dry them whole, then trim. Was fortunate to never have mold issues. The past several years I’ve been trying to trim earlier, as time permits, as I have more obligations. Less time sit for hours on end trimming. I also decided to try to trim sooner after having mold issues 2 years ago with some White Widow, but that was more likely because I was a dummy and harvested them when they were wet.

Wish I could! Running an extension cord to the shed would have the wife and kids questioning what I’m doing! Although I could have done some if that when they were at work/school.

Well, fought off the mold during the first week of drying as best I could. Days were cloudy and damp, nights foggy at times. I split up the canopy, and did some trimming each day to aid in air flow. Opened up the shed doors for an hour or 2 each day to allow I n fresh air. There was about a 4 day period where I had to eliminate a few buds a day due to mold. However, stopped seeing mold late last week, then a big cold front came thru. The weather has been perfect for drying since Saturday. Cool, windy, dew points in the 30s and 40s. Knock on wood, I saved most of the crop, and should be able to start bagging up in the near future. All in all, a good year.9F659D5D-BE7A-4C53-93D6-819DD6F7BFCD.jpegD76A8ECC-2207-4CFD-B7B8-C47EED5C78D5.jpeg416B54E3-EA91-4DDA-B8B4-98E4CB19CE56.jpeg8C4CB304-C632-4530-BA0A-E4CB7295C491.jpegF681C967-1C46-47C0-A46D-E2508054D822.jpeg

Had a 9 lb hammer seed left over from last year’s grow. Thankfully, and knock on wood, we haven’t had the storms like last year. We did have almost 3 inches of rain earlier in the week, but the buds were still small enough to avoid damage. The buds are filling in pretty rapidly now. Going to have to keep up on sprayings and hope for gentle weather.DAED6464-2CFF-4285-B5A5-A5772727D45C.jpeg
