that's about how much ill have too, what are your temps humidity levels usually at when they are in the paper bags?
not planning on washing them just don't feel comfortable doing that
I've never tried putting fresh bud straight in a bag...... always hang until dry to touch. it's the only way I can slow the drying process enough. Imo biggest advantage is the moisture evens out.. works for me, my buddy never tastes like hay or cardboard
Make sure you can keep dust off the plants hanging in that barn.... If it's the kind of barn I'm used to that dust is animal shit and hay chaff
no no its not that rough haha and I found a good room to dry in now with more consistent temps and humidity
I haven't been able to measure. I will be getting a couple of hygrometers next week and will use them to refine my process. Now I simply examine the drying buds a couple of times a day by hand and jar 'em up when they seem just this side of the stems breaking when bent.
And I was initially worried about that. But I have several factors in my favor. The buds my autos have produced so far, while able to deliver all the pleasure required, aren't so large that significant amounts of water can be trapped in them after washing. My technique also includes the use of a salad spinner for water removal. Also, the Northern California climate is reasonably dry this time of year, so I find the top of my bedroom dresser an excellent place, humidity-wise, to stage the bags during pre-curing.
