Harvest & Curing HELP! Need advice...

[Local Urban Grower]

Hey! So, I've just been preparing to chop my first batch of the season (outdoor)... lo and behold, I have no where to dry it! I have resorted to using a garden shed, with some fans for circulation, and one small 4" exhaust fan.

The airflow is good... Relative humidity between 50%-60%... The dilemma is it's about 28 degrees in there...

My original plan was to let the pots dry out, put them in darkness for 2 days, light trim, hang till outsides are dry, etc. (like normal)

Now, since it appears the temp. is gonna be so high, would it be better to water during the dark period, to increase the amount of water in the plant before harvest? Also, should I leave the fan leaves on for a couple days of drying to slow the process? Should I bite the bullet and purchase a portable air conditioner?? Will the colder temps increase humidity??

The last thing I want is quick dried bud... or mould!!

HELP!! I plan on cropping out in 5 days.

Thanks!!

I wouldn't leave the fan leaves on.Watering right before harvest might help a little.You can have a little air circulating but do not have any air blowing directly on the buds.Your temp should be fine and humidity is a little high but it's not that bad.Just keep an eye on it and every thing should be ok.

Thanks! I have the fan blowing away from where the plants will hang... just basically to keep the air moving, and not stagnant.
