I usually let mine air dry for up to a week then put it in a canister with a sealed top. Open it up everyday for maybe 15-30 minutes and let set for a short while and then seal it back up to allow the moist air to escape and bring in some fresh. Can't really remember how long, it's usually smokable after another week and by then your popping the top every day anyway to get some smoke. I think the trick is you just don't want it to get so dry that it crumples into dust. Can put an apple slice in their to rehydrate if it does.
My buds have all air dried are all crispy but still sticky in the middle, there defo ready to go into jars I just don't wanna fuck it up last stage as if you see my final weigh post I posted today you'll see I've grown some lovely bud, I'm stoked with it been my first time, it's smokable and it's nice just a bit harsh which leads me to belive it defo needs to cure
I agree, uncured new weed is usually harsh. Sounds like your doing it right. Just open up for 15 minutes to let the old air out and reseal the new air to balance out the moisture into the buds. Other folks may do it different, but works fine for me. My bud usually lasts a long time, I only smoke eves so, it always get too dry before I use mine all up.
Cheers dude, appreciate the feed back, I'm trying to get bk to smoking it just in an evening but I've been smoking before work a lately like a fiend lol must be all the stress from this grow haha
Never tried that? No issues with mold? I do use a canister that light can not get in. It's like for sugar or flour.
no issues. Mine are dry when they go in the jar. Granted moisture does redistribute from the center of each bud. You want decarboxylation to take place. Which is the exchange of gases so to speak. Release of.co2 and chlorophyll depletion and thca and cbn converting to THC. - that's why buds are more potent after cure. Also polymerization of terpenes takes place after a long cure. Terpenes are everything..
LOL Thanks. Maybe I will try once a week next time because it sounds like you know what you're talking about. Thanks for that even though I admittedly still don't have a clue!
