All my grows (around 5 or 6 in total) bar this one I've overdried.

My mistake was following the stem snapping method when I hungry branches upside down to dry and dry trimmed.

This time, my best success was doing th3 following

Wet trim using a bowl trimmer.

Put inside my GQ60 on its side, with a 4 tier drying net but only used two tiers, clipped by pegs.

A small ram clip on fan, at the bottom pointing down and not directly at bud.

Room humidity was around 60% I think. Temp was around 20-22c average in the room.

5 to 6 days to dry for the less dense buds

About 7 days for dense bugs

Keeno told me a good trick to measure humidity..put some in a jar, monitor for 12hours..if it goes over 65% then put it back on the rack again for a day (I did 12 hours) and then finally got the humidity in jars at 65%. Some of my others are steady and 57%/60%

It's really brining out the aroma of the terpenes..lemon and grapefruit.

Hope that helps someone
Im so happy this method worked for you. I was struggling for years till I started doing it this way.
Since reading Keeno's post, I've been doing the same thing with the jar and monitor and it works perfect 💪
Good to hear Fabi 🙌

The Internet is dangerous.. I must have come across the stem/twig snapping articles so many times and tried to follow th3m with failure. The method you suggested is much mor3 straight forward..less chance of missing that sweet curing spot. Thanks!
