Harvest & Curing Going away for 4 days and buds aren't dry what should I do?

[awolace]

As title says really. I harvested a plant Friday night without thinking. I'm going away tomorrow until Saturday and my buds are still very moist. Should I leave them and hope for the best? Jar them and hope they don't mold then restart the drying when I get back? or add a moist towel in with them so humidity is higher and drying takes longer? Freeze them and redry when I get back?

I'm currently drying in brown paper bag and humidity in tent is around 55%

just leave them in a bag mate.. i would even leave them bags slightly open to prevent anything...

you are saying "buds", that means that you wet trimmed and all that?

I agree with djibra420, get your curing stuff ready, bag the plant, jar it when you get home...maybe toss in a bovida packet...that should get your final product straightened out. With a week from chop, you shouldn't be too far from well dried...

thx mate
i've dried them pretty much every way there is to do it, and i'm back to hanging the whole plant again.
then trimming and into bags, or sometimes directly into ball jars.
i leave them hanging for 10 days for shure... try this next time

As they were already part dry it was a bit late to try any other drying methods. What I did in the end was leave them in the paper bag but added a moist piece of toilet roll in there too. Hopefully that should increase the rH enough to slow the drying process by a couple of days without molding them. I'll find out if it worked on saturday.

How did this work out in the end?

Perfectly. Cam home jarred them up and they sat nicely at 65%, burped them down to 61% now.
