Stored Weed Question

Thanks a lot! Appreciate it. Has been a journey this time. Hoping the few days of complete darkness will force more resin!

This forum has been so very helpful! Everyone is so willing to lend advice! Will provide more pics and weights when done.

Thanks a bunch!! 48 hours of darkness and no water for the 2 days. Going to chop tomorrow or very late tonight after work. Anxious to get rid of the soil - still have gnats hanging around - hoping that will help :) Can't thank you enough for the website here and all of your support!!

@Mr. Grow It Well I did the harvest. Cleaned the tent pretty well and hung up the three plants. The big buds were wet for sure - hopefully wont mold. Temp is 67-68 and RH between 48 and 53 depending room temp. Figure range is good. Have fans below for circulation and dehumidifier. Fans not directly hitting plants

.

@pjs2008 Sounds like too low of humidity in your dry environment and could result in the buds drying too quickly. Like I said in my previous post, "Many growers swear by the 60/60 rule for drying. That is, 60% RH at 60°F" ... I go no less than 55%. I used to do 50% but got a much better result drying in a higher humidity. Nearly all of what you're asking about in this thread is actually covered in my book: http://bit.ly/2kpKqSC

The buds may have been a little wet but not overly. I definitely let air out often enough with the tops off of the jars over the last few months. Probably have been smelling them too often :) The RH has always hovered between 45 and 55 over the past few months. I did have some of those hydrating packs, but removed about 2 weeks ago due to wondering if they were causing too much moisture. The buds are definitely dry. Broke a few open and did not see any mold. For the past few months have been picking buds out for bongs and vaping. Definitely was a good smoke. Has been about a month since have had any - a little hiatus. I had several large mason jars and did throw the contents of one out a few weeks ago because its smell was quite strong much more so then the other jars - so I thought.

Thanks for your feedback. In one week will be harvesting again. Gorilla glue auto flowers. The hardest part of growing I think is harvesting and curing properly.

I will have a friend take a look at the current stash and get another opinion. Will probably give a bit of it away since I can not possible use it all and worry it may spoil. I would put the RH packs back in but worry it will cause issues - but do worry they are getting dry. Again, thanks a lot!
