- Drying Systems for Cannabis
Professor DeBacco
Reason for Drying
Goal is to produce a dry flower that has improved taste and flavors when ignited.
Drying Process in General
The drying process should not be a race.
Drying Area
This area should be very clean and tightly climate controlled.
Be Sure to Avoid
Hight heat and intense light can degrade the cannabinoids
Speed drying will cause larger buds to not dry consistently which will lead to a inferior end product.
Rack or Screen Drying System for Cannabis
Advantages
Minimizes space, so great for large volume harvests
Disadvantages
Can create flat spots on buds
Plant Hanging Drying System for Cannabis
Advantages
Minimal prep of plant material ahead of drying
Disadvantages
Takes up more space
Can have increased odds of contaminants developing

My friend never drys in dry nets any more, they are a headache, you constantly have to turn the flowers to prevent them flat on one side. Whole plant hanging is the way to go in my opinion.
Pros and cons to each method but what you mention is true.
That and because there is more plant material it drys more slowly, which is a good thing, helping preserve all those terpenes you worked so hard to grow.
@@Habitt5253 the problem with dry nets is when the bud is cut from the stems it drys to quick, I have seen some peoples bud after it’s been on the net for like 5 days and it feels dry but it doesn’t smells right, it’s got that green smell to it which is nasty.
@Al Alberto outdoor plants?
I’m having trouble with the drying process is it better to hang the whole plant roots and all?
I look to your videos as a scientific base from which I understand the cannabis plant life-cycle. Your work has been extremely helpful t me. Thank you so much.
Always glad to help you, and others, be sure to share the video and channel!
These are excellent videos. I joined a few groups on FB but was quickly disappointed. Everyone doing the same thing but no one knows or cares why. No more groups for me. This channel and a few books and I have a more than a good start. Thank you.
Man , those are some real crappy looking buds😱
Probably the only channel that gives a scientific explanation arround the plant!!!!Great job
That is the goal of the channel because this is not commonly found.
@@DeBaccoUniversity id love to see an explanation video on why can someone grow indoors and transfer outdoors anytime throughout the grow,but not the other way arround from outdoors to indoors?
This is the most useful drying video I've found, thank you.
Glad to hear you found it helpful!
The easiest dry I have ever done, in decades of experience, has to be since I moved indoors. With multiple tents , I can use a 2 x 2 ft. tent and exhaust fan cycling in a progressively reduced exchanged rate. I can easily maintain a consistent 60* / 60% environment. With limited space and budget, I have been able to extend the time and slow cure with little effort. It takes about 2 weeks to get to a stable RH, and it's done! I don't see why the home grower would do it otherwise!
The goal is controlling the environmental conditions;-)
Can you please explain the progressively reduced exchange rate?
I can't get the humidity down from 69% in my 2x2 tent for drying hanged cannabis. I have a fan and duct with air being sucked out. Put a air purifier in there to.
How do you keep the temperature low in this separate growtent?
WOW - that's an enormous amount! Thanks for all your wonderful videos.
You are welcome, thanks for commenting.
Love the content and how you break things down.
Thanks, glad to have you as a viewer!
That’s legit stringing industrial baking racks that’s perfect to have enough room for airflow while also 100% stacking a 2x2x6 area while still being instantly and easily moveable
Works well.
Man went to the video part and I was shocked. I grow large amounts of weed at once. But this is like 5x what I end with. I was astonished
... and this was just what made it to the video;-)
I love this channel .
Respect 👍
Thank you and please share the channel with others!
Great video. I will try and use this information for my first legal harvest in germany this year
Best of luck!
wow great synopsis. Thank you // that dry room makes me salivate
You are welcome!
Perfect! Thank you
You are welcome!
Thanks for the informative video
Glad it was helpful!
I thought of putting a net under me cannabis when drying.
Impressive 👍🏿💯
Glad the video helped, be sure to tell others.
I was taught in Trinidad in the seventies to drill a hole in the main stem and put a few drops of rum into it.
Seems like a waste of rum;-)
That’s the second time I’ve heard this done my friend used to swear by cropping and then placing the main stem into a container with rum and because it’s freshly cropped the plant drinks some of the rum. Personally, I couldn’t really notice, but as he always did this, I couldn’t compare it to his bud that hadn’t drunk rum.
Hang dryin complete darkness with exhaust fan on 24/7 at 60/60 (rh/temp) for 10-14 days (growers preference)
Sounds like an effective procedure.
How do you keep the temperature low in this separate growtent?
Very precious content over here. What about the humidity? I have dried them slowly from 90 to 62% in 15 days. But I have read some tips to keep it around 52% in drying and 62% in curing. What is best, take it nice and slow or straight to 52% and then set it to 62%?
Keep the dry and cure room at 60% humidity and 60F and you should be in good shape.
Would ground up hemp stalks serve as a good source of wood for say mycelium to grab onto? Can you use shredded weed stalks to grow mushrooms with? That should work right
This would likely work but often the stalks are used for other purposes.
@@DeBaccoUniversity What do you guys do? Just mulch the stalks into the ground? I'm curious, it was never mentioned
@@DeBaccoUniversity How do you use these stems?
i have a question if my buds are super dry already but the twigs still bend instead of snapping should i still wait until they snip or just start trimming
Should wait as the internal moisture is still probably high.
Peace, look at all that beautiful weed 😍 awesome ✌🏻
Glad you liked the visuals provided.
Hello from Arizona. My big problem is Humidity. It is typically 34% Humidity in my grow room (5X5). I am looking into a humidifier but haven't obtained one yet. Getting the humidity to go up to 60% is a real challenge.
Growers in other locations have the exact opposite problem;-)
get a 4.5 gallon digital Humidifier
I too am in AZ with 5 years exp. I use two 1.5Gal humidifiers (4x4X8 tent) during grow cycles (it's hard as I am still only able to keep humidity at 40%) and use 1 during drying keeping the humidity at around 40% with no lights in a tent if at all possible. May be tough, but it works (10 days on dry) then a 10-20 day jar cure and you will be fabulous. It's never failed. The thing about AZ is that we have a lack of humidity and the other thing is we have a lack of humidity...so this is how I do it.
I use a humidifier and exhaust fan connected to an Inkbird humidistat. This is used on a 2x2x6' tent dedicated to drying and works great for me in AZ. Humidity in veg can be accomplished the same way, but stay away from humidifiers in flower, even in the desert.
I am in AZ too and I use an evaporative cooler to help manage heat and humidity issues. I haven’t hooked it to my Inkbird yet but should be amazing.
On your drying racks where your material is heaped to dry, is that all the trimmings? Do you dry your trim before doing extractions?
General trim material that would otherwise be waste so why not extract it to get something rather than just discarding it. (However, there is a fine line between extracting and turning a profit vs loss.) Dry or wet trim as it can depend in part on the volume of material and the available labor at the time.
@@DeBaccoUniversity yeah 100%, there's all sorts of goodness to found through the whole plant, shame to take a flower and throw the rest.
What types of extractions do you do on your farm and do you have a preference?
I dry in a cupboard with 1×6in fan to vent air out? When i do this i can see the branches swaying very gently. Is this to much air movement? Definitely no direct air on branches. RH50-60 and temp 25c.
Sounds like a good set-up.
Hello sir my jar rh hygrometers says it’s 56 to 58 but the buds feel slight moist to touch but it’s says 56 to 58 rh according to hygrometer am I safe ?? Feels weird
Check the accuracy of your meter.
I would love to do an apprenticeship there if there was any possibility to do so. Unfortunately here in the Uk it’s still very much illegal, but I would happily move to another country to have the chance of learning this great growing science of such an amazing plant. Hey if anyone from any country that allows growing needs an eager to learn pair of hands, let me know.
If you cross the Pond the States has opportunities, but select the State carefully as each can have very different rules and regulations.
A metal burn barrel takes care of the leftover waste very well. If your area allows one.
Key last statement... "If your area allows one."
biochar it, and compost it in your next planting.
@@PittsTake Not heard of biochar before, how do you do it? I’ll have to look in to it. Thanks
@@mintyfresh569 heat it without oxygen, creating carbon. Extremely good for microbes in soil
I was so intune upto 3:00, the ol' "'Take sup' more space" Disadvantage let-down in comparrison methodology versin'. Now I'm waiting to get back on track to finish watching, I will be sure and like, Love your stuff btw, p.s. wish I would've found you last year, b4 I finally got 5 seedings to veg state, still waiting for next event, maybe next year? lol?
Glad you found the channel this year and 3min of quality content on this video, but with all the others I am sure you have hours to watch;-)
very cool info
Glad you liked it.
Man that grow room is epic. I would love to have your job man i bet you love your career.
Enjoy what you do, what ever it is.
Thanks!!
You are welcome!
Jesus i've never seen such huge amount in one place and the size of those HOLY MARYJANE
Glad you enjoyed the video!
Is it wise to have lights on during the drying period, as seen in this video?
Lights should be off during the drying period. The lights are on for the purposes of the video.
Far out man. I wish Chris from MrGrowIt would reach out to you. His subscribers NEED to see you
Anything you can do to facilitate this would be appreciated!
He’s confirmed he will reach out soon. I’m glad he will. I hope you do accept and agree. That would be the - as the youngsters say l - the “bomb”
DAMN PROF! YOU GREW ALL THOSE YO SELF?! :o
It can take many hands to produce this many plants.
great video, thnx. I saw all that product hanging n thought "trim jail, bigtime!" hehehe.
Im near the beach in Socal so 90% RH ambient is common...A/C n dehumidifier are a must.
Last run we hit 14 days at 60-65%RH n 65* n they went into the jars at 61%. 😎
Yes, large number of plants and successful production can lead to "trim jail";-)
Probably worth mentioning to have a chipper and then you make a mulch out of those dried up branches.
That certainly makes the process much easier and faster.
Hei, great videos! 👍
But, what do you do with the rest of the branches? Do you take fiber out of them? Aren't they useful for something? How many possible uses can it has?
Many are working on a use as some simply discard them.
Boil them in a bucket all day and you will have stem tea drink a couple litters and you’ll be high
And keep the rootball…u can make FECO oil w it
You can make batteries, clothes, hempcrete etc.
Seems short-sighted to just discard all that potential.
@@raukurawaihaha depending on how much you have, how often your havesting and how much time/energry you have. its not very economical to anything besides compost for many.
Real professor G
Thanks for this comment.
Hi you dry with the lights and not in the dark?
I never see that
Goal is to keep light as low as possible.
My growing skills were a debacle till I started watching Debacco
Great comment/slogan;-)
Amazing! This video actually made my throat burn. 🤮
Did not know the videos could have this impact on viewers!
I'm also curious on how the finished product looks like fully manicured..
Cause I hear all the advice you're giving but without showing the finished product..
What’s the strains in this video
Few different ones shown, but all are classified as Hemp.
Why don't you pack boxes under the shelves? can I have the leftovers on the floor? :D
Goal is air circulation so open air under the shelves is advantageous, what you see are scraps during the drying process.
Legal e a bandeira dos USA
Feliz por você ter gostado do video.
What is the ideal RH for drying?
45%-65% with most using 60% is the ideal target.
65 temp 60 humidity for 2 weeks minimum and my personal flower stays at those numbers for up to a year or more.
No mention of desired humidity level, desired temperature, or time?
I dry 70 n 45 humid 🗣💨💨💨💨⛽️⛽️⛽️
Stay tuned for a video on the specifics to be posted tomorrow on this channel;-)
@@DeBaccoUniversity Thanks
@@DeBaccoUniversity Cool Cool 70degrees 45humid until the stems snapped. Should take around 7/10 days ⛽️🗣💨💨💨💨💨⛽️Works every time ⛽️
@@youngpro211 you cure after that?
You are awesome thank you ..
Happy to help!
💞
Thanks.
Omg look at all that herb!
Efficiency and scalability are important.
I do a 60 60 when drying then snap the branches
Those are great targets to produce a quality end product.
The drying process looks good but the bud on 5:25 hardly has any nugs.
They can not all be winners.
Cannatrol takes all the guess work out of drying/curing and produces a superior dried product to any air dry methods, IMO
This can be cost prohibitive for some growers.
@@DeBaccoUniversity That is true.
I feel like after you shot this video you took some serious gangsta photos flexing with big buds.
Education not flexing is the goal of the channel.
@@DeBaccoUniversity you do great work im just having fun!
You guys have it easy over there.circulated dry air,in the dark 7 to 10 days depending on density,trim & smoke... this stuff we've been up to for decades... could you do a vid on autos,pro,s & cons..please,thanks for putting a professional video together.🇦🇺🦘🙃
Any one can have it "easy" with equipment and environmental controls;-)
@@DeBaccoUniversity absolutely.its not rocket science either like it's being made out to be.
Anyone can't, anyone can try only some succeed,like athletes.
@4:01 This man is the Walter White of weed.
Professor is fine;-)
Can I get your address and what times your guards are allowed to sample products??
The video will have to suffice;-)
Is he Growing Reggo or is he growing for Concentrates?
What is both is the answer?
@DeBaccoUniversity Lol...As long as it's Sensemilla!!!
2x2 dry tent, with drytent rotatry chanderlier
Sounds effective.
No sun, No light, no Fans blowing on the buds. Room at 50% Humidity and 50º-60º.
That is a very short summary, but hopefully you can appreciate the specifics provided in the video.
the smell must be awesome in the room @ 10:10
That is one thing the video does not do;-)
It's amazing how fast the online world changes when public opinion changes. This video would not exist 8 years ago. What the heck lol
Just think where things will be in the next 8 years......
Just hang the hole plant upside down for two weeks, job done.
As long as you have the correct environment for drying.
half wet half dry is the smokable way
Some may say the best of both worlds!
he used the word efficient like 100 times
Could be an important concept;-)
God dam that's alot of bud
... and this was just what was shown in the video;-)
What’s your address I wanna come visit😁
You are visiting right now;-)
the thought of processing all of that gave me anxiety 🤣🤣🤣
Many hands make light work.
Closet.......no humans!! Air!! Jars!! Time....till CHRIST RETURNs...
... Amen
To save people time... 12-14 days hang dry in a temp controlled room 17c with 60-65% rh
This is true, but people would miss the actual pictures of the buds if they did not watch the video;-)
@@DeBaccoUniversity that's true. Plus they'd miss out on the calm chill vibes of the video which is the best part.
Nice info.
But your flower look real poor im sorry for you
Glad you liked the info, the total volume of flower is more than most and if going to extraction the end product will be the same.
Those plants look over dry idk 🤷♂️
Sometimes looks can be deceiving.
Wrap the buds in newspaper, place the newspaper in paper bags, then put it on the dashboard of your car in the hot sun. It will dry perfectly in 2 days.
A car in Spain and South Africa on the same day may have slightly different conditions.
@@DeBaccoUniversity so, I'm in Virginia Beach
Not even,,, You need to look into curing, much better in result.
No it wont
He needs 100.000 cars to do that
one word for drying cannabis......Cannatrol
If you can afford the initial investment this can be an effective method.
@@DeBaccoUniversity It is an investment, but, there is no "can" about it. Fool proof. Most commenter's here think temp and humidity is the biggest thing to control when actually it is temp and dew point. The science is there.
Al geL
Slightly more complicated...
I can't believe you are not making rope and some of the softer fabrics in the world, the STEMS are product too don't throw it away
This can depend on the processing and market for a given area.
@@DeBaccoUniversity hemp consumers are not fighting the things they want, rope advertising it as hemp rope like Washington's hemp farm products will have a good market....
to bad its such low grade
The process is what is important.
It's hemp for education. Thank the man.
Uh if your doing 0 pruning before hanging your really lazy and don’t make gash with your trim
Sometimes it is time vs labor.
So many people cut the stalk without the roots. Leave the roots. Ton of THC is in the roots. It will drain. Dont cut the roots away
NOPE. No THC in the roots.
THC COMES FROM THE TRICHOMES ON THE LEAVES.
There are no cannabinois in the roots, but some are experimenting with other uses for them. Also, components are fixed in the plant and no drainage would occur.
theres all that larfy bud on screens what a waste
Went to your channel to see what good bud should look like.... did not see any buds :-(
@@DeBaccoUniversity stay tuned its coming
Natural bench space lol , it’s great that he’s trying to teach us something but this is all so basic , give us the research on dew point , humidity, temp , water activity, scale of thca and terpene degradation from light / heat .
Search the channel and you will find more in-depth topics such as... ua-cam.com/video/bb60kvHDJYQ/v-deo.html
I like useing leftover stalks as kinlin.
woodstove.
I also use it in my smoker.
for meat or cheeze
Great multi-use for the plant to reduce waste.
