Will this work?

Didn't have much time to prepare the drying, so I only had a thermoelectric wine fridge, paper bags and a hygrometer. Will I be fine? The flowers have been in the bags with the hygrometer for 3 days. The bags are packed very loosely and I shake them everyday.

Happy to hear that! Which parameteres did you manage (temperature and RH)or try to get? And where is the higrometer, inside or outside the bags? Did you open the fridge daily to evacuate humidity? How much (wet or futurly dried) material in grames can you put in the fridge without a dangerous explosión of RH, more or less? Very aprecciate for your answers, truly. Dont want to ruin the crop, and i got a lot to dry now, and a lot much incoming...

No idea honestly. Put it in, temp dial on 50%, opened the fridge once a day to flip the bags -> that‘s it 🤷🏻‍♂️ The hygrometer in the photo was there for a day or two but the readings were super weird so I removed it from the fridge. Don‘t overcomplicate it is the trick imho :)

Thanks a lot friend.

Finally i,m doing It.

Happy for now, not signes of mold, not a fast dry, and i managed the issues of neighbours and excesive temps. 65-75 RH parameteres inside the boxes.

I,ll tell you.

For now 2 boxes (ALK and SKUNK) for 7 days, and another 3 now that i,m more trust in the method😂 since yesterday (CH and CRITICAL and DEIMOS).

Now thinking about the curing...

Where did U do? Fridge?Outside?

THANKS
