where you hanging them? Tent, box or?, make sure u have circ air and no fans blowing on the drying buds, but 10 days is a long time if they are not large/large nugs, IMHO

Does everyone use circ fans in their dry room?

To answer that question you would have to provide some details.

What is your dry setup? Size, fans?

How much are you drying?

So no exhaust fan, but one small circ fan?

I would think that would be fine over 10 days.

Like Hippy132 said, just make sure the fan is not blowing on the leaves.

I do exhaust fans but no circ fans. So I might not be experienced enough with this to answer.

At least I bumped you. haha.

i think they would be pretty dry after 10 days, i only dry my buds for about 5 days in about 30-40% humidity.

10 days is too long . Its gonna get CRISPY!!
Only way to slow down drying I can think of is to lower the temps slightly and raise the humidity a lil bit.
Careful of MOLD!!

i dry mine in a room with a A/C , circulation fans, and dehumidfier i hang 14-21 days with my humidity at 50-55% and my buds are never too crispy (when there crispy on the outside they need another 4-5 days if there dense to get the moisture out of the middle of the bud.

You get the moisture out of the middle with curing, thats why most people dry till crispy on the outside.

yes you are correct, but if you leave them hang longer they cure themselves without having to open multiple jars multiple times a day
