PLEASE HELP DRY ICE INFO NEEDED

[amberrey21]

I am in my final stage where all my hard work is supposed to pay off!!! But I cant figure out this dry ice drying. I read about it in the growers bible, but Im having problems doing it. So my nugs are dry in the freezer with the ice but when it take them out to cure they start to kind of melt and get wetter. Can I cure them like that they dont feel too dry, kind of damp is it safe to cure? Please help this is my first harvest and I dont want them to go to waste!

Its condensation. The bud being so cold is attracting moisture from the air like the side of a cold drink. Run an A/C or dehumidifier before taking them out. I've ran into this before. A rubbermaid type container with one or two of those closet dryer things in it works too.

Closet dryer? And after that do you still put them in the curing jar? Thank you so much I really need help... How did your yeild turn out after dry ice? If possible could you go over step by step what you did when you did the dry ice drying? This is what I did. I put them in an air tight container and then poked holes on the top so the gas could pass through. Ive had them in there for a 48hrs... and now Im not sure what to do.

Keep It Dry Closet Dehumidifier - Closet Moisture Remover

Take the bud put in air tight container with above mentioned device. When it dries out some more (not soggy) day maybe two, then cure in jars as normal. Has no affect on yield. I was freeze drying in freezer same principal as dry ice. Keeps smell down. Much cheaper and easier to just hang it and wait till it's ready for jars though.

as the saying goes: 'keep it simple' ... next time, don't risk mold and illness, just hang your plants up, and dry normally, just my advice ... good luck :smokin:
