Reave's Soilless: Peat, Bark, Sphagnum, Perlite, White Widow 2018

Frosted Flakes to go with the frosted buds? If you don't want amber take it down when you have room.

I don't think you need a clip fan at 51%!

Smaller box holding at 64% rh. Tomorrow morning once the plants I chopped today and bud washed have had a chance to dry out a bit more all will be moved to the larger box and I will attempt to hold the rh at around 62%.

Nice drying rack. Cardboard is life!
 
Thanks for stopping by guys. I can’t take credit for the box I stole it from @InTheShed but cardboard is common for drying.

I used spider wire fishing line and a big needed to thread it through the box. That was my DIY addition. I used a 3/4” wood drill bit to make the venting holes.

Cardboard has some nice properties. I think it’s a good idea. Makes humidity control easier. Might go get a humidifier with an rh control to make it even easier.

Happy Easter Everyone.
 
Box looks terrific and 64% is golden for now. As they dry in there the RH will start to drop to ambient. You have everything sorted:thumb:

Thanks Shed. I got the humidifier blowing into the box to keep the humidity at about 62%. Bought a caliber 4 hygrometer. Should get here Thursday just in time to move the cannabis to the jars or bag.
 
I wet trim, but all trimming is done between hanging and jars. That way you can cut everything off the stems and have nothing left to do but burp!
 
Burping takes the same amount of time even if the buds are at 62% from the start, because one of the main reasons for burping is to let the chlorophyll dissipate and to allow the gases (produced by whatever chemical process happens during those first two weeks or so) out.
 
If you can do everything at 62% then you never have a care in the world!
 
Your cardboard box drying area looks great. I had thought about trying something like that last year but instead used brown paper bags where the buds rest in a messy heap rather than being nicely individually suspended. This year after reading some posting on, the slower the drying the better, i.e. the whole plant, roots and all, I again thought about a box, but with only a 2 plant harvest which already had taken a bit of beating from caterpillars half way thru flowering, I didn't want to take the risk of the plant being too wet for too long and getting mold, so I again stuck with paper bags. I'm guessing by feel/smell/weight that my harvest will be ready for shifting into jars for curing after about 7 or 8 days of drying which I think is probably ok. If I can perhaps grow more plants next year then I would like to try the box approach for drying a whole plant.
