Let's be honest, with our CASS system; we've made growing easy - but the REAL CHALLENGE is drying and curing. It takes Trial and Error of many to provide advice for the few, and we've learned over the years of cultivating Cannabis; that certain drying room conditions can create a perfect storm of odor and flavor in your buds. Drying your plants after their bloom phase of 8-12 weeks can be immensely rewarding if done correctly - this PDF guide will get you there! Personally, we're fans of "Wet Trimming" vs "Dry Trimming"; but everyone has their own method of doing things...and we're certainly not going to criticize our customers! :D Use this information wisely for personal consumption, and we look forward to hearing about your success!!!

SUBJECT: COLD WEATHER / LOW HUMIDITY DRYING TIPS:
Let's face it, we all don't have the perfect setup for growing or drying & curing. In the end, we have to use whatever space we have available no matter what the weather conditions are outside of our growspace. Drying in cold weather/low humidity environment (Anything under 50% Humidity is LOW), this can dry your hanging plants faster than expected; so it's important to check them every day. On average, it can take 3.5 days to dry your plants in a low humidity environment.
If you can maintain a higher humidity while hang-drying your plants, the average and required dry period should be 5-6 days. You want to achieve a slow dry to perfect the odor and flavor; and when your buds are slightly crispy on the outside, but still moist & damp on the inside, and then if you're able to bend the stem but not snap it...it's ready for the next stage which is called PRE-CURE.
