Drying Without Chopping Plants Down.

You can’t just leave the plant up right and rooted for harvest. All the THC will run down and out the roots. You have to cut and hang so the THC runs to the buds.

I actually left a plant To dry while
Still potted in promix. I have to leave for 2week out the the blue. Right at harvest. So I just stuck in the the closet and let it die. Not awesome smoke. The sugar leaves turned brown and got into the buds.

I usually pluck as may fan leaves as
I can and then cut the stump
And hang the whole plant for 10-14 days. Then Jar and burp them.

Well I have been doing this in the tent and it’s still drying quickly in the the plant is deadish. There used to be humidity spikes if I shut the fan off, now the humidity only goes as high as 65% after many hours. I am going to try and snap some stems to see how dead things are

I've left my lower popcorn in ground to finish many times. Only keeping alive until cold interferes. Don't know what folks are growing or smoking out there.

The plants are left in ground until I'm able to process them. Better dry than my hang on occasion. Bit harsher until a good jar period and humidity levels adjusted. It is possible and proven here.

I can write forward and backward with both hands. You can't. Does that make it impossible thing.

Best of luck and support for the freaks like me that don't believe it until they try.

Peace. 004.jpg005.jpg

Okay. My brain is now steadily oozing towards an unknown fate. If we remove indoors from this process? It is only indoor controlled drying if honest. Are we not letting nature do what we so impatiently rush when left to their own means? I still believe we arrogantly displaying our inherent flaws. The best weed I ever smoked was stumbled upon. TY to the grower. I only took a branch. But golden perfection. Matured, finished and dried by nature. I hope to be able to allow it in my outdoors. And this bud was close to that gold. 001.jpg

That’s what I have been saying all along. Let it get like nature gets it. Like, it’s going to be a little brown?

vine ripened. I’m only talking about the plant matter.

someone please take a bunch of brown dried up leaves, and then take some fresh green cut leaves and dry they out fast. So they stay green. Then grind both up and smoke each and see what’s the difference.

On that thought. Here's equal live growth on same plant. Just getting comfortable with legal posting. Now taking evidence. LOL. UMM? Leaves were toast and she wasn't feeding. LUCKY CHARMS 002.jpg

Ok I’m going to post my nugz next. The humidity in the tent stopped rising and I was afraid it will be too dry to have a long dry,30%). So I... I watered them.... but I used really hot water, now the humidity has been going up again, keeping it as close to 65 as possible. I have 2 saucers for evaporation. But in my climate, quick drying happens

I'm in your corner. Just a bit different approach. I leave the plants to over dry if it happens. Outside of course. Often times buds go into 20% RH range. But on that day that pops up every so often of 70+% RH is when I get ready to jar after dark and humidity falls. Jar and close to 55-60%. Then balance with inside RH fluctuations and burping. Takes time to get it right. My oldest samples are by far the best in taste, smoothness and mellow. Keep posting.

Here’s something. I actually just brought inside some jars from months ago, they have been frozen, and a little too moist, I brought them inside to actually lower the humidity in the jars, so I am going to open them and let some moister go away. Maybe as low as 40% and then redress them. And keep for longer term. Is that a good idea, to store at very low humidity%

another thing,I have a mother and a clone of it, grown beside each other, the clone is much different than the mom, so it makes me think.
