Hanging dry is the way to go. It slows down the moisture release and lets you trim comfortably. I also started putting buds in the fridge before trimming and it does keep terps beautifully.

BTW I HATE trimming.. That's why I got me a trimmer... Called Miss J?????????? Just don't tell her............
I've trimming ALOT of pot... and I won't even look at dry pot to trim...... Least for the first run... It's nice to have all them fan leaf hanging down,, after hanging for a minute or two, you can dispatch all the fan and larger secondary ones with a simple snip without even touching the bud.
Then hang the plant... Final trim was optional... When you have a larger harvest,, it's kind of nice to have afew leaf curled around,, protecting the buddage for storage?
Oh BTW @Agemon haven't heard that one in a while.. Afew afew good ones inline after. Drift away'''' good tunes while catching up alittle???
BTW that's a good looking puppy in the corner....... She can act temperamental.. Least she does for me.. But that dog will hunt''' GL

Well if the fridge is the only way, then I just have to ask you... How do you deal with smell? I mean do you have a dedicated fridge, or do you keep it among beer and leftovers?
I have been willing to do the fridge drying/curing for a while now, but can't come up with the idea about dealing with smell, and I don't and can't have another fridge..

Not sure you can get rid of the smell, food will draw the terps everytime.

Ok, then another question - how much of air circulation is needed when drying in fridge? Because the only idea I can come up with is that I can buy an airtight container, spread the buds there, and throw in a large desiccant bag. You know, my harvests aint big
Any chance of this working at all?

Maybe but you would have to burp often. I use paper grocery bags to dry in the fridge.

I've seen people use oven bags to dry in. Pull them out every day, open and give them a shuffle.

How often is often? I can do 2-3 times a day.
I have a quite strong vacuum pump and can turn any mason jar into vacuum container in no time. And it would be an easy procedure even if I had to do it 2 times a day. Might be even better than oven bags..
Hmm.. food for thought
2 twice a day would be plenty at first, after a few days I'd go once a day.

Well, it might actually work then, this container and desiccant thing...

my harvests aint big either lol I don't see why that wouldn't work as long as you hang them for a day or two first don't want to put them in there to wet don't want to invite mold and like @Pennywise said burp often at first until they start to get dry the start backing off your question about airflow the fridge you use needs to be a frost free theres fans that blow in there that's how the buds dry in there!Ok, then another question - how much of air circulation is needed when drying in fridge?

Doesn't look like an oz to me, mate. Sorry
Beautiful colors in those pics though. Nice buds.
Refridgerartors are cold dehumidifiers and the the paper bags/ carboard help to wick away the moisture in the buds. Thats what ive noticed at my place anyway. Im with Conrad tho, hang dry. I do put my samples in the fridge tho, quick dry for new buddage tasters!
