Indoor drying temps

[steelydan]

Its 26 degrees and two of my babies are ready to chop! If i leave them hanging for a couple of days and then use the brown paper method would that do? Or how much longer can i leave them.

That is how I dry my ladies. Just bagged up one of my ladies after two days on my drying rack. They will now sit in the old bag for 2-5 days before I jar them. Gives me that sweet dank smell and joint burning capability. Best method IMHO.

So this hot weather in London at the moment is not going to dry them to quick?

Just keep an eye on them mate

Check them every day after 2 days, see if the stem bends, if it does it's not ready, if it has a light snap you can pop it in a jar, but pull it out and check i the next day as they may have rehydrated and need to go back in the bags for another day. (this will avoid them moulding in your jar)

I think i remember ideal humidity in the jars was around 62% .. i could be wrong there, but i just use the method above and it works out fine. I also burp every day for at least a week (more out of paranioa than necessity - i really should get a small hygrometer!)

Would a cardboard box do it? , i am worried about this weather this is my first dry and cure, the last thing i need is a harsh smoke. The temps are 26 and the RH is a steady 50%
