Just harvested my Girl Scouts and blue dream, 6 plants for a total of 7 hours between 2 people. Just happy I had help =)
Buds are hanging on hangers in my grow tent with the carbon filter on and fans still running but not blowing in buds. Any advice on drying would be appreciated!
My only advice for drying would be this (keeping in mind that I don't know that much about drying and am still practicing myself.): Don't let it dry out too fast.
Hang it for a day or two and then check it because if it dries too fast you'll never get it to cure. You want to hold the moisture in there as long as possible, but also get the buds dry enough that theres no funk going on. Once the outside of the buds are dry feeling but there is still some water weight I like to stack my buds together to keep them from drying to fast, but this is mainly in the summer and I live in a hot dry climate. Now that it is winter my buds are drying more slowly and it is not an issue. If they are drying out too fast put them in a small box or paper bag to hold the moisture.
If anything take my advice with a grain of salt because like I said drying and curing are what I'm perfecting, now that I've got growing down fairly well.

You want your temps around 65 or so and your humidity around 50-60% for optimal drying. It should take 5 days minimum for a proper dry. Stems should snap when ready to start curing. Nice job man! Good work
