Twiki Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Hi all, Just wondering if it's worth turning the extract up to full speed whilst harvesting? or just keep the extract at same speed? I never used to have to worry about the smell, but I'm in a more built up area now and need to make sure I'm not stinking the street out! Thanks... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonstone420 Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 I would full power it mate. As long as you are not worried about the extra noise caused from the increase in fan speed. I always do this myself as a safety measure. Probably not needed, but I always worry during harvest. Cant hurt to take extra precautions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeypig Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 I actually turn the extract down after the first couple of days hanging. Remember you are aiming to dry your weed slowly over at least 14 days to ensure we don't ruin several months of work by trying to rush the dry. As long as you have negative pressure in your drying space you'll be all good 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killuminati7 Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 I turn mine onto lowest setting and no circulation fans on and I go buy the vpd keep it between 0.70s to 1.04ish witch is an ideal rate of drying to get that 14 days plus 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Military Grade Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Whilst harvesting or trimming i turn the fan up, But while it's actually drying i have it on the lowest setting unless my max humidity parameter has been triggered. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twiki Posted April 19 Author Share Posted April 19 Cheers fella's Appreciate the quick replies. I was just intending to turn up whilst chopping down and a bit of trimming! I'll keep it on lowest speed possible after that. Been a while and just wanted to make sure it's better pulling the air quickly through the filter! I'll slow it down to just negative pressure when done. Thanks again 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeypig Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 @Twiki Chop and hang. Trim it when it's dry is not only the way (IMO) to get the best weeds, but if you're bothered about smell during harvest, will be the least smelly. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banarchylamp Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Are you in a tent? Sounds like you want to whack up the fan to clear the room you are in? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twiki Posted April 19 Author Share Posted April 19 Yes mate! In a tent and will be chopping and drying in the same space. So gonna whack the fan up whilst chopping, and slow it back diwn to achieve drying temps when done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lux_Interior Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Fans off completely for at least a week. Watch the temperatures. To avoid dubious odours BOOM 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeypig Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Sorry @Lux_Interior but that is terrible advice to be giving. Don't do this anyone. Your house will reek and your door will go in very quickly. And if it doesn't your buds will be tainted from bubblegum spray 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
