Hi guys. I have 2 babies left , they close to finish , but 1 of them start to rot bad. Need to cut her today , but I have no place to dry until other one is growing . Can I keep wet trimmed buds in some container for a week ?

Brown paper bag, like the type you get at mc Donald's 4-5 days u will have evenly dry bud,
Just line the bottom of bag with nice size nuggs not big giant ones

I stuff mine in lunch bags and throw them in a box with a couple holes cut out for a fan to blow through. Depending on time of year it takes mine about 7 days to dry out.
(I wet trim all my buds first.)

Plastic + wet buds = rot central :rofl: . Just get some brown paper bags or any brown box you have laying around. Definitely do not put wet buds in a closed plastic container
 
Consider fresh freezing the buds. Defrost, dry and cure later.

I generally dry using free USPS boxes with holes poked in them, after hanging the whole plant in the tent for about 2 days. Now after initial hanging, I'm trying putting trimmed buds in Grove Bags, starting out leaving them open a crack (treating them like jars) and sealing them fully when stable in/near the target rH range.

Super duper hot here when I harvested my Zkittlez auto about 10 days ago. I’m trying out the “Lotus” drying method, which is a fancy name for drying in the refrigerator. Kind of a Hail Mary but I’m actually pretty impressed with how it’s going.

Worked excellent for me.
 
Yeah, I’m actually really liking it. Fruits look super fresh and the smell retention is great. And it’s certainly drying.
My flowers dry look like they did when chopped. I went to jars from the bags when the humidity hit the 70% range. I covered the jar mouths with lunch bags & burped during the first few days. After that, I replaced the bags with mushroom filter lids & burped until finished.
My fridge runs @ 15% humidity @ 45* F. The shelves are glass, so I found some old wire racks out of dead mini fridges to put the bags on.
 
Thanks, I will check on that. I’ve had them in paper bags, open and shake around gently daily, put back in. At 10 days they’re drying well. But looks like they’re keeping all of the frost, smells, etc..
