I wish I had the facilities to hang and dry at 60 degrees, I'm stuck with room temp. I am considering buying a small wine cooler for storage of flower, though.

I’ve been quite fortunate with drying. My room is in a back corner of my basement and just outside the door, I have a Rubbermaid cabinet I fashioned into a drying cabinet. This part of my basement stays at 60 degrees and 60% humidity and only swings +\-5 on both temp and humidity. A little desk fan in the bottom to circulate air and a carbon filter on a 4 inch duct/fan up top. Probably the most hackleberried part of my growing and it’s the best working part of it all! Haha!

The area I use isn't always 60 degrees, but as long as it's not like, 30 degrees, or above 68, it should work out fine
The RH is way more important in my experience. I sometimes go out there when it's raining, like, two weeks ago, after we had that really cold dry spell for a bit, the RH had dropped to like 50, so I went out and left the door open for a bit while it was raining, and got it to like 67%, and then closed the door up, and left the one fan going. It's blowing directly at a tent, so, it's moving air, but not directly over the branches. Works out pretty well to be honest. They aren't out there now though; Back Garage needed to be shut down for Winter, so, the 15 hangers / racks that we had out there, are now in the bedroom with the 4 we had left from the first pulls. I had a humidifier on a table near my closet to keep that section from drying out to much, and I don't really like it being above 62 degrees just in general, so, we still have a window open in the bedroom. Keeps it cool in there haha.

I have a few of these on the suggestion of Deebs. I don't have a grow to fill any of them (yet) but access to an ok stash. I threw a humidity gauge in there with them steady 60. That being said this company 100% screws you on the shipping & on top of that they will revert your cart to their highest price shipping if you make a change. I got screwed on that little shady b.s.
Yeah that shipping is insane. I work in shipping and I know costs are way up. But their prices are obscene. I'll just continue to pick up a few here and there at the grow shop.

Did u get them from the KY or the OH shop?
I know the bucket had them at one point. But haven't been there since they moved. Pretty sure the KY one had some though. Would you like me to grab you some if I see them next time I go?

No thanks. I am headed to one of the two to stock up on soil while the weather is cold. Might go to that KY one and get some roots organic.
Appreciate you looking out!

Yup, I use them for long term storage. I toss a couple moisture packs along with cured product, I then lightly vacuum seal them, wrap in a towel and into the freezer they go.
Important note*** Don't fully vacuum the bags, or it will crush everything into one large nug! Also, do not get the thinnest bags, can't save money on an inferior product.
I've had no problems, and I save a good deal of cash!

Dry and mighty are awesome
, they sell it on Amazon . I also add a interga boost 67 gram /62 rh packs in every bag . Like anything check multi places cause I wouldn’t be suprised there’s a better price than that .ive also tried these, nice quality ( lso add a interga boost in each bag ) under a buck and super nice
interga boost 67 gram, 62% rh , example. Bigger bulk cheaper but a example

Figured I would report back. Bought a pack of the cheap oz Sweet Decades bags on Amazon. Testing them out to see how I like them compared to jars. Didn't use a bodeva pack. Overall they work okay. With the smaller oz bags I don't really like putting big nugs in as they seemed to get crushed. Think they have quality control issues because some seem to be working fine while with a couple bags the humidity dropped too quickly.
Overall you get what you pay for and I will pick up some real groves on my next trip to the Grow shop.

I’ve been using Grove Bags for a couple years and have been happy with them. However, I’ve seen some chatter on Reddit recently about issues with quality (specifically, the zippers separating from the bag). Thankfully, it’s not a problem I’ve experienced. I generally heat seal the bags for the cure and long-term storage and transfer the buds to Miron violet glass after breaking that seal. As a result, I’m not usually opening and closing these bags multiple times, which could put stress on the zipper.
I’ve yet to try this myself, but I’ve seen a hybrid Grove Bag/mason jar approach that looks interesting: one can cut a circle out of a Grove bag that’s a bit wider than the mason jar lid, fill the jar, place the Grove Bag circle on top, and lock it down with the ring (omitting the metal lid). This theoretically allows for a burpless cure within the mason jar as the Grove Bag lid should allow for gas exchange without opening the jar.

I don’t think the company thought about the heavy weight compaction with the big bag! I had to compromise and store these on their side to ensure no compacting took place in the long haul.
I went from Jars to 5 gallon buckets so these are a god send imho.. It took me a while but once I switched to Grove Bags it’s been a serious game changer!

I've had this issue with it coming apart on a few of mine. Usually the smaller ones which I open more often but I have had 1 #1 pound come apart faily quickly. This is on a batch from a year ago.
