like the title says, my drying space is from 60 - 70% humidity? will i get budrot from this? one room is a little tent with a bathroom fan on full an the other is a wooden frame with mylar round the sides n a 120mm pc fan at the top exracting

thanks

There is a possibility that it could just take ages to dry because of the high RH in the drying area. I would get a de humidifier and plug it into a 15 minute segment timer and run it for 15 mins on and 45 mins off, this will help lower the RH in the drying area, possibly adjust the timer as necessary.

E2A: try and aim for between 40% and 45% RH when drying and about 18c .

oh ok cheers hashishin, will have a look for a de-humidifier then, hopefully can find a cheap one cos broke as fook

i work for a company where i can possably borrow a de-humidifier for a week , is that a bad idea due to the smell or would it be fine

For the ultimate in taste, potency, and smokability, use the sevens, a time tested and true method that's used to be an elite grower's secret.

70 degrees F.
70% humidity (yes, almost wet it's so humid).
7 days (minimum, up to 14).

The buds are slow dried in an extremely humid environment, some strains turn almost golden if they have been flushed properly (and have that tendancy) from the extreme depletion of chlorophyll/curing that occurs.
Have a fan moving air in the room, but not pointed at the buds, an exhaust fan is best to exchange the air (often this necessitates a humidifier to keep the humidity up).

The slow burn and great taste cannot be surpassed using this technique.

To further compliment this technique, pick only the leaves that have petioles (stems) when chopping the plant (or the night before), and leave the bud leaves on until dry, then trim them.
This non-exposure of the bud-leave's chlorophyll (by cutting) allows a better taste, as trimming leaves on the bud closes stomata, causing a less efficient flush/flow of fluids in the plant when it needs it the most for a great cure, the first 40 to 50 hours after chopping.

Freezing weed is only for long term storage, as once it is frozen, it should only be unfrozen once, not refrozen and unfrozen repeatedly.
Like food, this causes degradation.
For fresh weed that is regularily dipped into, keep it in the fridge.

peace - Guiltless

cheers for that info lazi, im very pleased with that, i more or less done what was said in that description, not sure about 70 deg f, i go by celsius, will have a look what that is
my buds took from about 7 - 10 days to dry in the environment i stated at the start, everything seems nice n dry in the jars for curing, so alls good


thanks agen

e2a: my temps were bout 20 - 22 deg cel, so 68 deg f - 71.6, so not far off
