Dude I absolutely cannot wait until she's ready to smoke! HahaLove the frost!
I've dried a few times in my outdoor mini fridge. It smells like dank weed for months.It's a zkittles of some kind. Got it from seed supreme, which I've learned may not be the best genetics, but damn.. the nose is like funky sweet with kind of like a gassy/fuel smell. Very intense nose!
Thanks homie!!I've dried a few times in my outdoor mini fridge. It smells like dank weed for months.
Congrats on the harvest!
It's nerve wracking for sure.Thanks homie!!
Now to trust the process! Haha
If the buds feel like they have gotten too dry I like to close the bag back up and put it on the kitchen table for a couple of hours. As it comes back up to room temperatures they tend to feel moist again. Back in the fridge for another day or two.I've found that after 11 or 12 days in the fridge, airy buds are dry enough for jars. Chunky nuggets may go 14 days. The stick test helps. Buds will initially look and feel like you over-dried, but after a day or two in jars the RH goes back up. If it goes over 68% I put mine back in the paper bag in the fridge for another 24-36 hours.
Hey Johnny, and to the site! Most folks have they're favorite low and slow summary and since I got here first, here's mine (courtesy of @MrSauga):Hey all, just wanted to confirm a few things.
I just got the Frigidaire EFMIS155 fridge. Chop the fan leaves, leave the sugar leaves, place ~20g of bud in brown paper lunch bags, throw them in fridge, set the fridge to 40 degrees f.
How do you know when they are dry and ready for curing?
I see that some people place a hygrometer (govee) in the fridge to monitor RH. Why? Should the fridge temp be adjusted to keep RH at a certain level? I thought it was just set to 40d and forget.
Thanks
I'd stick with those instructions in terms of a timeline, and wait about 12 hours for the RH in the jar to settle with the hygrometer.This is great. Thank you. As far as checking for doneness, put in a sealed mason jar with a hygrometer. How long should I wait to check the rh? And at what rh should I put them back in the fridge? Thanks!
Can someone help me out. I fridge cured a batch of autoflower and went for around 23 days until when it was Jarred up for a few hours it stayed around 61-63% humidity and then I went into grove bags. But it had a hay smell to it that didn’t get better after two months in the sealed grove bag. My question is this hygrometer has been in my tall standard kitchen fridge that really doesn’t get open but you can see the humidity frequently swings from 90% humidity to 25%. Granted the brown bags of bud isn’t t in yet as harvest is in a few weeks but I think the crazy swing of humidity didn’t let my stuff slow dry properly. Are these swings normal?
@happychef I don't want to talk about your fridge so much as let you know that a few hours isn't enough time to know what RH your buds are. Not only do they need time to get completely back to room temperature, you want to make sure the moisture in the flowers has evened out in the are of the jar. It's better to leave them in the jar for 12 hours next time to get a more accurate reading.it was Jarred up for a few hours it stayed around 61-63% humidity and then I went into grove bags.
Thank you, I will do that next time as it was an auto grown as a tester for how to dry. Is the fridge humidity supposed to jump all around like mine in the photo throughout the day? I think it’s when the fan turns on as I low and slow dried the auto in a mini fridge and it jumped all over the place also. I’m seeing a lot of posts on here of people’s RH being around 50% which is great, but with this data of going from high to low rh it may have dried them out too fast?@happychef I don't want to talk about your fridge so much as let you know that a few hours isn't enough time to know what RH your buds are.

Personally I would pull them out of the grove bag and put them in a jar with a hygrometer and see what they're currently reading.
I've never tested the RH in my fridge so I don't know what's happening when it's closed. can you put the meter in your kitchen fridge since it probably doesn't get opened overnight. Then you can compare.Is the fridge humidity supposed to jump all around like mine in the photo throughout the day?

Nothing you can do about that that I know of. When I did low and slow my entire kitchen smelled like weed every time anyone went into the fridge!Guys, something I wasn't prepared for - or at least I didn't see it - THE SMELL! MY ENTIRE BASEMENT STINKS! So far I can't really smell it upstairs, but I'm probably nose blind. Any thoughts?
It's crucial not to overstuff the bags so there's a good paper to damp flower ratio, and I suggest you take the fans off to lower the moisture content in the bags.It says to load up 28 grams into a lunch bag. How crucial is this?
trim fan and large leaves from plants.
