Hello, first time grower here! Everything was going good until it came time do harvest and dry. I live in a very dry climate, and even keeping a humidifier in my grow space wasn’t enough. I have a second plant in flower, and would really like to avoid my bud drying to fast next harvest. All in all, I’m pretty bummed that my current harvest dried to fast. Any advice for my next dry?

Hang the plant upside down, roots and all. If you have a basement or reasonably well sealed room use that. Don't use a fan in the room. Keep temps down if you can. 16⁰C or 60⁰F appears close to ideal...and 60% RH.Flower Room: 11' x 7' x 7.5'H, 480w AC, 13gal/day dehumidifier, 1.5gal ultrasonic humidifier, 60gal (27gal usable) nute tank, 16" pedestal fan & 18" wall fan. Lighting and climate automated. Hand watering.
Veg Cupboards: Two 4x2x6H cupboards. SF2000 Evo in one SF7000 in other. Climate controlled and automated. Hand watering
Aeroponics Low Pressure Bucket: 20W LED. 5 clones & 20W LED 11 clones
Lights: Mars Hydro FC-E1200W, SF-7000, SF-2000 evo in flower room.

What is 'too fast'? Is the whole bud drying or just the outside?Bud porn makes everything better.

Is it already harvested and ready to be cured or still on the plant?Comment

Well, it’s the third day, and I’ve noticed that the bud it’s self is kinda crispy, and the stem kinks when I bend it. My bud was really fragrant before and now I smell nothing. It’s already harvested and currently hanging upside down in my closet, I have a humidifier on a low setting in my closet too.Comment

Hanging your grow in a closet to dry was a mistake. You can’t regulate the environment in a closet very well whuxh results in a quick dry. Once you trim and put your buds in jars put a piece of a soft tortilla in there with them and they’ll suck all the moisture out of the tortilla. Hopefully that will help a little

I hang my plants inside the tent, zipped up tight with nothing on except the exhaust fan set to its lowest setting. Leaning all the leaves on until dry will help keep the humidity up. Leaving the pots you grew the plants in inside the tent will also help keep the humidity up. If needed, you can also place wet towels inside the tent to raise humidityComment

I also dry in my small propogation tent. I place pots full of substrate (which are aging/cooking/maturing for future use) in the tent to add humidy. My exhaust fan circuitry regaltes the desired RH.Comment
