Air movement is important for dang sure. I just don’t want anyone zapping their buds dry with too much air movement. I know we are shooting for the same thing buddy.
Black buds, yeah, that’s weird.

yes the extra fans/air movement should be within the first few hours or first day, then after that it isn’t necessary at all, and the fans should never blow directly on the drying buds

It really does depend on your space and conditions. You have to be much more careful in humid conditions, and as stated, smaller areas. A humidity monitor is a must.

If I may ask what is the reasoning for not having the direct fan airflow on drying buds. It seems like it would be an obvious reason but I’m drawing a blank

It will dry them out quick. Airflow is one of the biggest factors in drying.
That is why you want a little air movement in your drying room, but not a bunch.

Hi all,
I’ve seen a few posts talking about washing their buds. I have read about water curing in the past ( likely on OG1.0) but I have never tried the process.
Can you guys provide some insight on the benefits of washing your buds? What is your process?
All the best,
BAMMER

here is some freshly washed produce - some of @Tonygreen’s GG4 RIL that I recently harvested:
I do a rough trim before I wash it, and then again after it is dried, that way most of my bubble trim is washed as well

I do the same, it sounds like a lot of trimming doing it twice, but I think it saves time in the end.

Yes! This is the difference between good bud and great bud! Always wash outdoor! Indoors if you spray stuff on your plants it’s a deal good idea also. Dust and whatnot… and I think when you wash them they cure better. After you rinse the last time, go in your garage or backyard and whip all the water off the plant by swinging it around like a crazy man! You can get almost all the water off! Make sure to hang in spot with good ventilation the first couple days so you don’t get molds! Hang them for 4-7 days then jar and start burping. Hope I helped

And if you had any issues with wpm make another bucket for the first rinse with hydrogen peroxide diluted to about. Idk I forget, I use about a quarter bottle of the 32% stuff from the grow shop in 5 gallon bucket.
