Re: Drying and curing..your tried and true

Grove bags are the way for me. I hang dry for 7 to 10 days, dry trim, then stick them in a grovebag with a humidity meter in there. If it tops out over 65% then I'll let it breathe for an hour or so but other than that it's just seal and forget. I've used jars and cvaults and burplids as well..I like to use Mason jars for longterm storage,but those grovebags take sooo much stress out for your cure.

I am doing the paper bag thing...dry 1 wk.or so .sticks a little snappy..into a big paper bag...let's go
Ive been reading about this and tempted to give it a try and see what its all about
If left on stems it dries slower
I do a wet trim,,all leaves.sugar and all,hair cut
Hang in a cardboard box ..?7? Days Or so in the tent....
Put them in a big brown paper bag that goes into a plastic garbage bag for some time....2-4 weeks ..always checking ..trim off all sticks
Then into glass jars w. 62 rh packs...no problems yet

Done this on the last couple of grows and it definitely seems to help.
The bud is smokeable after it comes out of the bag but still goes into the curing jars after.
I hang the whole plant for two weeks, then harvest the buds and put them in paper bags for a week. Then into curing jars.
Works better than grove bags.

Tip: Paper bags from hello fresh and gousto work well and are worth saving, hello fresh ones are bigger and will hold more than gousto but gousto are thicker and more durable

Drugs and Alcohol are never the answer! Unless the question was “what am I doing tonight”.
