I thought I’d throw together a little show and tell on how I dry. I live in Queensland, Australia where it gets proper hot. Not this bullshit 30 degrees uk hot either lol. Like proper. Your bud can legit dry out in a day. Through this forum I learned about the Fridge Dry. I’ll find the link later. This is my twist on it. Not suggesting it’s the way, it’s just my way.
I live to be organised. I look after my things, whether that be a paper bag or a diamond ring, so I look after and reuse my bags. I first cut my bud down to baggable sizes, the size I want to jar it. That means dismantling those beautiful Coca colas.
First I get ready:-
Then I weigh 100g/3.5oz per bag. I try and keep similar size buds together
Then I clip with matching clips coz I’m xTra as fuck lolling!
Today I was lucky enough to bag and tag 600g/1.3lb of really nice fresh bud
Then it’s fridge. I used to fuck about shaking, turning twice daily blah blah, now I shut the door and come back to it for a squiz in 7/8 days. By 10 days it’s usually done.
The idea with a low and slow is to go from the fridge to the jar, no burping, then cure. Time and harvests have taught me exactly how the bud should feel. Tbh it feels ruined, but you put it in that jar and it goes from fail, coz it’s sitting in the jar at 35% humidity and crispy as, to fuck me dead! Yeah boiiiiii, coz it slowly climbs to 62% humidity in dem jars! And that’s where it stays.
Like anything it takes time and practice to master, but once you’ve got it, you’ve got it.
Just thought I’d share in case someone was interested.
In my case, it would be a mini fridge (3.3 cu. ft.) – the kind with the little open freezer shelf at the top. The freezer would collect the moisture as ice – so, very dry indeed. I could run it same as your temp, around 38°F (3.3°C).
My bags would be smaller I guess, and I may need to get creative with the shelves. Bud capacity would be less than yours. But I guess same process... just leave them in there for a week or so, then check and "stir" them a bit.
When your bags are laying flat in the fridge, are the buds forming a single layer on the bottom? Loose or tight?
In my case I'm vaping not smoking, so I like buds crispy dry so they're easy to grind up in the grinder. I'm guessing that after the 10 days in the fridge, I would just put in jars w/ moisture packets added as I usually do.
Any comments or suggestions much appreciated! thanks
PS> love your sweet and beautiful presentation, Trala!
