Ep. 3 Poor man's way how to dry cannabis | Indoor CFL Cannabis Grow Cabinet Experiment Closet

The plants are dried at room temperature in a dark space. It is actually optimal to keep the temperature between 60 and 70 degrees F because many terpenoids (molecules that are partially responsible for the psychoactive effects but also largely responsible for the odor of the plant) evaporate at temperatures beyond 70 degrees. This process can take from a few days to two weeks, depending on the size and density of the buds and the relative humidity of the air. Humidity should be kept between 45% and 55% humidity. Higher humidity will create a mold and mildew risk, while lower humidity will cause the material to dry too quickly. If the plant material dries too quickly, some of the chlorophyll will fail to be converted to a different chemical form which will result in a sub-optimal taste and a harsher smoke when combusted and inhaled. Stable temperature preserves cannabinoids well. Some believe flowers are hung by their stalks, allowing the internal fluids of the plant to remain in the flowers. Others believe the cut stem is simply a handy non-sticky place to hang the plant from. Roots are removed, and when the stems in the middle of the largest buds can be snapped easily, the plant is dry enough to be cured. Drying is done in a dark place, as THC resins deteriorate if exposed to light and the degradation product CBN forms, significantly altering the cannabinoid profile of the dried flowers. Drying plants is not generally considered as that risky by novice indoor growers of cannabis who would like to assume that they have gotten safely to the end of their "grow" by the time they are harvesting their plants. However, generally speaking most will underestimate the sheer scale of odour produced cutting down ("cropping"), moving and hanging plants to dry. Indoor growers in areas where cultivation is illegal may consider this an obstacle in their overall efforts as the first three days of drying produces very large amounts of discernable odour (organic molecules) which the grower himself/herself may be de-sensitised to. These will be evaporating and likely discernable to others anywhere in the vicinity of the general area. In populated areas consideration of containment & concentration (i.e. filters) of odour molecules may be employed to reduce risk. In less populated areas with good air movement dissolution and dispersal techniques for odour management may be employed i.e. ventilation from high points such as a chimney or roof vents. Whatever method is to be employed, newbie growers in illegal areas would do well to not underestimate the sheer volume of organic molecules being dissipated into the air when harvesting or "cropping" grows.
