Let’s see, I use grocery brown paper bags. I harvest and wet trim my plants. The current environment in the tent determines how tight I’ll wet trim. If my rh is in the 30s, for instance, I’ll leave the nugs pretty shaggy and clean em up before jarring. If rh is up in the 60s like early summer time, I’ll do a full trim/manicure before they hit the bags. I always break them down to about golf ball size nugs and I always aim for around a 10 day dry. One way I help control this is consolidating the flower as they dry and tighten up. If a harvest lines the bottom of 4 bags, after 4-5 days I’ll move them into 3 bags then 2 in another day or two. And vise-versa if they’re drying to slow. Another tip to help slow the dry is to put the bags on a solid surface. My bags normally hang from different areas of the tent but putting them on a solid surface limits a bit of moisture lose out of the bottom. I open and gently toss the nugs a bit everyday to prevent flat spots and monitor them. I try to get my nugs to around 65% rh to start the cure. That’s close to snap on small stems.@Seabass need some brown bag pointers if you don't mind

That’s about it as far as what works for me. Hope some of this helps, always Happy to share.![]()

Day 84. Harvest.
What a great strain @mephisto! She really turned on the frost and density near the end. She took on a beautiful blue-purple tint. Here’s a few photos right before chop.

I can not wait to taste Trident Special. The amount of sweet funk she throws out is mouthwatering. Breakdown and trimming was pretty quick and left me with 4 large grocery brown bags of buds, a nice yeild for my setup. I’ll update with dry nug shots and weight in about 10 days. Onto the nug porn. As always Happy Growing AFN.
