Soo my dry weight is in for the lovely Linda...
Its really lost a lot of weight...I was def hope'n for a more weight but I will take whatever I can get...anyway she weighed in just now at 67.3 grms. Not including the popcorn nugs and small stuff. She is now in jars curing away. As for my paper bag experiment it turned out favorably! The buds that I put directly into the paper bag I think turned out a lot better then the bud that was screen dried. Its is just as dry but feels much more stickey and def smells better. I will def attempt it on my next grow with part of the yeild to finalize my findings. If it works out again then imma be a paper bag convert.

67.3 is very respectable dude! Enough to keep me medicated for a couple of months LOL.

Thanks bro! Ya it will def keep me grin'n for a lil while. I just did my own thang. I took about 30 percent of my buds and threw them straight into the paper bag! Did the complete dry in the bag from start to finish and now into mason jars.

One layer of buds per bag, or did you just throw them in there? How often did u open up the bag and shake the buds around? How many days did you dry for? We want details, bro!! I might do a half n half dry next go. Half hang dry, half paper bag. Now that I got my humidifier, I believe I can do a better hang dry than I did the first time around, when humidity was waay to dry

It was pretty much 1 layer but it was a pretty big paper bag. I only opened it about 1 time a day but I would give it a shake every now and then. It was in the bag from thurs afternoon until this morning. I also had my humidifier going in my cab while dry'n the rest of the buds on the screen. It also turned out good just not as sticky and not as pungent. My rh was around 60-65. Temp 65-70. In future imma measure the rh amd temp inside the paper bag. Didnt think of it till today...but hey..its my first auto grow soo its all about gaining knowledge at this point. ..I may do the entire dutch cheese plant in the bag and note all of that info for peeps.

With that feed back, a bag dry is DEFINITELY in my future. Just gotta decide whether I go all in, or half hang, half bag.

That was my orig plan to go hlf and hlf but I'm glad I try'd it all in! the diff is significant between to 2 methods. I would be happy to pay $ for a bag of the dense sticky, stinky buds that came out of the paper bag. Even without a jar cure!!

Totally agree, I did paper bag only this time and the results were much better, took twice as long to dry but worth it.

Alright, fine! I've heard enough! 100%, all in! Paper bag method it is!

That is exactly it...a slower dry for sure but great results!
