Hi, Folks!

Depends on the humidity. Sometimes the garlic is ready in two weeks, sometimes it takes a full month. Good air circulation is *critical* -- if you don't have fans, seriously look at getting some.
I run the fans for the first 48 hours after the garlic is brought in and then anytime the heat and humidity go up. As it 78 degrees at 2:20 am tonight, the fans are running. (I'm hyper about mold, I know, but I'm selling seed stock, so I probably care more. Being able to sell your garlic right away not only gets you ready cash, but probably helps you sleep better at night! ;-))
