I had my first grow of 3 auto nl x big bud plants and harvested last weekend. I cut them down a branch at a time and gave them a wet trim. They are currently hanging in my dark tent. The temp in there is low 70s, and and RH is averaging in the mid to low 60s. I have 3 small fans going as well as my exhaust fan. Not pointed at the buds. Just curious on how long it typically takes for buds to be dry enough to put into jars. I've heard until the smaller stems snap, but I've also heard that that isn't always the case. Mine are still bending as it has only been drying for about 6 days. I'm also wondering how long to cure in pint jars. As well as how often to open them. Thanks!

I put mine in to jars after 4 days but my humidity is Lower like 47-51% temp is 73...when the buds feel kinda dry to the touch put em in the jars... just don't pack em in tight. Also get some boveda humidity packs...62% is ideal. Fem Auto (Amnesia Haze) Come on in and share your auto grow! This is my first Bag seed grow journal (Flowering)
Just wanted to add for anyone reading this. My RH was averaging lower 60s, and temp in lower 70s Fahrenheit, good air flow but not direct. I dried them all for 7 days. Stem still was not "snapping"... Well they came out WAY too dry. They have been in jars over 24 hrs and are still as dry as when I put them in. So my suggestion to people who are beginners and don't have GIANT buds would be to dry for only 3 or 4 days. That's if you do a wet trim at harvest. Do not wait for your stems to snap. I sure hope I can help someone to NOT ruin there entire harvest! Good luck Sent from my LG-H830 using Tapatalk
