Someone else told me that you should open the bags lol. My mind told me not to open them to maintain whatever is going on in there. I won’t open I’ll just turn the bag to move them around.
Yes. But even in that thread there’s a ton of conflicting ideas.
Right now humidity is low here. During the summer it’s higher. 30ish right now.
I have better results (and cures) with a dry trim FWIW. My current protocol is a whole plant hang (including fans) for 6-8 days (depending on plant) at 60% RH, then dry trim and into paper bags for 24 hours (minimum) until I get 65% RH on a jar test - then into grove bags. They may spend 24 hours in paper bags or 3 days - just depends on how good my timing is. Also, this method gives me some flexibility as to when I trim so I can fit it into my schedule. Sweating of the buds for at least 24 hours to allow the water in the inside of the bud to migrate out and evaporate is a key part of the process. IMHO, YMMV, etc.
exactly. There is an art to it. FWIW, I open mine daily to check the bud, and I feel a few to see how the dry is progressing. At the RH usually present in the basement room, I find covering the bottom of the bag is about the right amount to start with, and as they dry, I often combine bags of the same strain to keep the RH in the bag up a bit during the last part of the dry. I use the big garden debris bags for larger quantities, and they seem to work really well. They are double layer, and according to the store, somewhat moisture resistant, but they seem to work a treat.
