I built a drying rack in my room so I could dry my stuff in a heated part of the house (don't ask), because drying it in the non-heated part of the house was taking too long. It's pretty spiffy, 3'x3' PVC frames with window screen stretched on the bottom side. Trouble is, my stuff is drying too fast! I cut it Saturday night, and now not even 3 days yet and it feels really crispy and brittle on the outside. But the stems are still green and I think the drying is too much on the outside, and not enough on the inside. I took it and put it all in ziplocs in the unheated part of the house (I live in the SE so it's not all that cold in the winter, especially this winter which so far has been really warm).
How should I proceed? Right now my plan is to open the bags a few times a day for the next day or two and see how they progress. My theory is that once too much moisture is released there's no putting the genie back in the bottle so I don't want to overdry them.
