Does anyone exhaust into the same room they are growing in.

@Don't Fear the Reefer I feel you cause I got pretty much the same problem.
I manage to feed the girls correctly (unlike my first grow) and yet I got very weak potency.
After thinking about it and thanks to some inputs, it seems that in my case the drying was done at a much too higher t°
We had 6 heat waves from may to september - so my next (third) grow will start in march, in the hope of more manageable t°.
Otherwise I'll have to think A/C - but then a full bunch of questions arises lol
Good luck and I want to know what happened to your grow too !

I live in the desert which makes drying & curing properly tuff. I started using a refrigerator & it worked excellent, but the lowest setting was too cold to speed things up or cure. I’ve since bought a compressor-powered beverage refrigerator that can be as warm as 60* which works great.

That's great idea - I thought 68F was the norm, well I guess the rules change when you're in the desert !
What is the size of your device ?

Mine is small, but I only grow 2 plants at a time. It’s H:18.5” X D:18” X W:17” on the outside. 2” of depth is the door. The bottom also has the typical step that allows room for the compressor. Don’t get a solid state unit because they don’t remove humidity.
Wine refrigerators are the same, but have shelves made for bottles. I have salvaged additional shelves out of dead mini fridges (cut to fit) to lay the paper bags on. I don’t want the bottom of the bags on a solid surface-moisture will accumulate.
There are many sizes & Craigslist is a good place to find a used one.

Okay okay hey hey hey. Merry Christmas ho ho ho, I think the quality of what I'm smoking is was taking me so long to figure out how to use this site, Even with everything that indicates full maturity. You know the trichomes aren't anywhere near done yet/ I'm going to be patient We'll see what happens, Everybody have a great holiday season stay safe stay high

@MotaZona Thanks ! Was wondering about the humidity problem, seems like it's taken care of with this kind of device.
I'll have to find an equivalent in Europe.
@60F you never got mold or any problem ? I guess you RH must be very low ?
Anyways it's an idea I'll definitely consider, instead of trying to cool down my lung room

Thanks 4wiso the buds do look fine. The plants didn't grow well though, that's why I was questioning the skills.
I don't think they have the perfect environment but it similar setups seem to be working fine for others.
Yes the grove bags just don't work for me. Don't know what they are like if you heat seal them, I should imagine it's better.
But the humidity in my house is high most of the year, poor insulation and an old house, so the humidity in the bags seems to rise way above what they should be. They are in my drying room now at 55% one bag is stable at 58-59% for a week the other keeps rising past 62% so have to burp them or back in a bag if it gets too high

Hmmm well the conditions seem fine

Ac isnt too hard to manage unless youre in a pretty small space as it is. But then you could just get a portable room ac that thermostat controlled. But you will need to manage humidity closely.

No

No mold problems yet. I have only used it for 2 grows (4 plants) so far. I start out with it set in the low 50*F range for 10 days or so, then I bring it up to 60*F. Others use the same type of fridge & might chime in on how they do it. I promise you; your weed will be super stinky when dried to 62%. I give all my flower away & EVERYONE is blown away when they open the jar. It’s a lot of fun.
- EDIT: I use paper bags too. Makes it easier to flip buds while drying.
