and the fact that you dont see the correlation . . . . once again . . . .shows your grasp of the concept . . . .

nah, i'll switch to 14 hour days if need be. i've been going slow for now. they look kinda ready, but i don't want to chop it all just to find out it's not. samples so far have been giving me the impression that we have a week or so until prime readiness.
I was unaware recirculated has an affect on relative humidity!
Shit, I'm learning some good stuff on this thread.

how many weeks would that be since flower? what do the trics look like?

all i'm going to say is that you must be on meth.
saying that there exists a state that is too dry does not preclude the existence of a state that is too moist to dry in.
drying it out for "as long as possible" doesn't mean "dry it out so slowly that it goes to mold before it dries".
go check your mailbox now.

how are you pre-sampling your bud . . . a quick dry like Ndrama . . . (oh and thats the term for what you do Nodrama)
pretty much . . .i dry for 7-12 days normally depending how full the room is . .

they started flowering early to mid august, i never look at the trichs. i just judge by how the buds look.
the GDp i pulled a few days ago was pretty nice, but not overwhelming like i want it to be. something tells me that in another week or so, the overwhelming affect will be there, but that also means i have to bust ass to get it all in before the bad weather comes in.
it's a delicate thing to balance.
I've just never heard of humidity used to describe the moisture content of a plant! LOL
But I'm willing to learn!
so 100% humidity in your room is better than drying in 60% humidity? When you use a DEhumidifier you get to control the humidity to be whatever you want it to be, but I guess you never checked those links out did you and really have no idea what you are even arguing against, other than your egotistical view that your way is the only waym and all others shall be ridiculed.
Hey, guess what my humidity level will be at tomorrow? 70%, cuz tomorrow starts a new veg cycle, in 8 weeks that humidity will be at 30% so that I can finish my flowering without too much trouble with any mold. Then a day after that its back to 70%.

well i guess if you say it it has to be true right

just like the rest. i cut it down, trim it, dry it, and sample it pre-cure. i know the taste and affect improve slightly as it cures, but i take this into account.
i was forced to pre-sample a bit a while back, had a branch with branch rot that i chopped. i didn't think the little tiny baby buds would do anything, but they did have some affect. i'll just give it away for free to lightweights. i know a few people who prefer weed that doesn't get you too high, i am one of those people.
about the toughest part of my job is sampling, i get way too high and paranoid off of most of what i grow. so i often outsource that job to my wife or neighbors.
wow!.........
10 days is quick dried? News to me. Looks like you actually quick dry if you are doing it in 7. so hows the quick drying going?
Why do you quick dry it so much?
Quick drying isn't good if you care about quality.
you shouldn't quick dry sammy.
after drying it's in for a minimum 21 day cure.
I suppose you can't cure yours as well since you quick dry yours.

i also rarely look at trichs .. i go more by bud structure growth, maturity and calyxs, swollen and elongated or plump with hairs receded , and then the over all look
ive grown out hundreds of plants i guess when you are a grower you get used to strains and how strains mature . . something you learn over time in the garden .. i also keep records of development and match them up to existing fruiting development information
only time i look at tricks is when they are finished drying . .or if its acting up or sick

I do the same thing. After a while of growing the same strain you just know. On mine I know its done when the tertiary buds start straining the branches and start bending down and touching the ground and the whole aura of the plant changes to a golden hue.

. . . . . . 10 days in a room with a dehumidifier . . . is it even working . . . . . .doesnt sound like you use a dehumidifier at all . . but go ahead waste that money . . . no quick dry at ten days . . . but whats the point of the dehumidifer if it takes that long

i asked him how he pre samples . . . i know a few people who do this(they do it to test the plant at various weeks to see when the most thc is present for oils), was wondering what he did
i dont do it . . .i just pinch and smell
When its 120% humidity outside its a real bitch to dry shit correctly, you can't just throw a fan on it and expect all of it to be uniformly cured. Fans cause the outside to get crispy, heat changes causes taste variance. I grow consistently the same exact bud as 8 years ago when I figured some of this shit out. Dense, thick, stanky from 50 feet away in double baggies blow your mind make you wanna spin bud. This is the only bud I have never really gotten to develop much of a tolerance to. There is better tasting shit out there, mine is not outdoor organic, that would be way too risky in my locale.
I agree with this method, its how I do it too.
