Whats up fellas,
So i just brought my plant in to harvest this past tuesday after rain storm and trimmed it up, got buds hangin in closet in house down in finished basement with fan running outside closet for good circulation and humidity at about 60% supposedly. Seems it. I just checked them out tonight (2 nights latr) and they seem to be drying up fast, like maybe another day or 2 till there ready to be jarred and cured. Don't plants need about 2-3 weeks to dry out? Probably have about 2oz total hangin up. Is this because there is only a small amt of bud? The plant is from a bag of "headies" or what i call good bud. Threw a few seeds in garden this year and 1 poped. Grew in past b4 and always reading up constantly so have some experience. I grew this one organically by the book and it turned out nice. Started it 2 months late bc away for work. It budded up nicely. I attached a couple pics i took from my phone. Plant had a little rot in between 2 buds from rain and humidity the last week, less than a gram. cleaned out, all set. Fyi trimmed cola up better than that if ur wondering.

If someone could fill me in on this that would be great.

Thanks

That depends on the actual humidity and air flow.
"Supposedly", and "seems it", just can't compete with an R.H. meter. :)

At 60% RH, if you left enough stem, they should be ready in a week.
At 40%, a week would be too long.
So I'd advise you to either buy a meter, (under $20 on fleabay), or watch those buds closely.
check them at least twice a day.

A'ole Pilikia, (no problem)

I use, and recommend the calibri RH meter because it fits in the curing jar.

I have an RH meter which if calibrated correctly is giving me a reading of 60% thats why i said supposedly. Thanks for input.

The cannabis grow Bible says put a fan leaf in the jar with your bud to slow down curing or rehydrate over dryer buds.
