I don't have a nice humidor. When I do things right and take my time I use the tent and finish the grow by doing the dry inside there and I work on getting the humidity right. That makes it a lot easier. But then your tent goes down for a bit. I recall about a year and a half ago on here talking to someone about this and them going off about how no way they were gonna do a third room now (not at me like just venting "holly cow now I need a third space to do this right...where was that written")
But anyway jaring at precisely the right time can be done. I can't do that. I work 10 hour days with an hour commute each way. I can't be johnny on the spot and have more to do than my growing and my jobby job. I get around to it when I can. So often I jar early and burp or late and pray. I try to plan it out but you can't every time.
That is where the stems come in handy. Those things dehydrate slow and are what normally is used instead of the packs. When done right they cure without packs from the water in the stems. You can dial this in if your drying and curing space is controlled for temps and humidity. Those settings are NOT good for growing. So you need what?...a third tent. It is really a matter much you can safely slow down your clones for the in veg. I usually wont worry about the rooting the clones for long into bloom.
And that's about whats this idiot thinks about that.
Since I terminated two adult plants, I DO have the empty closet. This last harvest I clipped to coat hangers and hung them in the dark in that closet, and got a slight slow-down in drying. It's dark, but not necessary cool, but there are things I can do to improve the humidity, like run a fan blowing over a bin of water.
Thanks for reminding me about that third "tent"!
