Harvest and drying equipment comes down to two things: a trimmer to remove the leaves and a dark drying space at 18–21 °C and 55–62% humidity for 7–14 days. Here you will find the Twister T4, Trimpro Automatik, Tumble Trimmer and Trimbag trimmers, the Drynet 90 cm drying net and the 100x100x200 cm drying tent set.
After cutting, plants go through three steps: trimming (removing the leaves), slow drying and storage. Each has its own values and tools; trimming happens before or after drying, depending on the method.
| Step | When and values | Equipment |
|---|---|---|
| Wet trimming | Right after cutting, leaves still firm | Scissors or electric trimmer |
| Dry trimming | After drying, leaves crisp | Tumble Trimmer, Trimbag |
| Drying | 18–21 °C, 55–62% RH, 7–14 days in the dark | Drynet 90 cm drying net, 100x100x200 cm drying tent |
| Storage | Sealed jars at 58–62% RH | Airtight jars, hygrometer |
What matters most is the quantity you process and when you trim:
Differences and tips for use are on the bud trimmers page.
The Drynet 90 cm drying net hangs in a grow tent or in a dark, ventilated room: branches or buds lie on the tiers and air reaches them from all sides. The 100x100x200 cm drying tent set creates a separate, dark and controllable space and frees the grow tent for the next cycle. Either way, air should move gently, with no fan blowing directly at the plants. Values and times are on the drying page.

Wet trimming happens right after cutting, while the leaves are still firm; dry trimming after drying, when the leaves are crisp. The Tumble Trimmer and Trimbag work dry.
Hung up or laid on a net, in the dark, at 18–21 °C and 55–62% humidity, with gently moving air. They are ready when thin stems snap instead of bending.
A hanging multi-tier net such as the Drynet 90 cm, hooked to the tent frame or to the ceiling of a dark room.
7–14 days, depending on bud size, temperature and humidity. If it is done in less than 7 days, the room is usually too warm or too dry.
Not necessarily, but it frees the grow tent for the next cycle and keeps darkness and climate stable. Otherwise, hang the net in the grow tent with the lights off.
