Top buds dry all ready

giz2k14 · Dec 19, 2014

Been drying 5 days now ,after checking today the largest buds at the top of the branches seem dry.when I bend the stem up top it snaps then as I work my way down well up because there hanging on lines it still bend is this normal ?I think it's because more air flow hitting the largest buds as the dangling lower down towards fan any ideas.also the inside of all buds small medium or large is a little yellow is this normal aswell

What's the temp and humidity like? When I dried, a similar thing happened. I walked in one morning to what I thought was over dried bud. After curing, it all evened out and was actually perfect. Better a little dry than a little moist = mold. Ad far as the yellowish color, perhaps the base of clipped leaves? Hope this helps

Temps are constant 20 humidity 55 a bit high but I have constant air flow and extraction so it's manged.i been worrying that it's rot but looking under two scopes there are no mold spores visible but this yellowing gold colour I think it's just inner bud that hasn't got light it's not a huge amount just close to the stem bit ile post a picture now

My last grow I had buds as big as that, maybe bigger. I got mold on the inside. After it was dried I would open it up and there were all kinds of mold threads. Started smelling like an old sock. From now on, I'm splitting open my big buds, let the air get in there and dry it out quicker. I might be wrong, and even though big buds look cool, I wasted a lot of pot because he was just too mold infected to safely smoke. I rather have good pot, than good looking pot.

That does not look like mold to me. I have had some buds get mold in my outdoor garden and the buds got dark brown and the crumbled very easily. I think its just a part of the bud that did not get direct light. You should be fine.

The yellow interior is fine, common to some strains actually (like skunk's and cheese's. I would say that could be true of any of their cross's).

The uneven drying is most likely due to fans directly blowing on material. Not a great idea.
The more uniform the drying, the better.
Move fans to not be blowing directly on the drying material, but to circulate the air around in the drying area.
Your temps and RH look great!

A proper cure will "fix" many problems.
Cure properly.

Yeah the fan was a bit strong not directly on buds though. it doesn't look like mold to me either and smokes nice when dried up, i put them in jars now just to get some moisture into the uneven dried buds then slow dry them up again cheers maten
