Personally i dry it until it's dry enough to smoke. Burp it once a couple weeks after just to be sure there wasn't much moisture in the stems. Then seal it up and try to forget about it.
It's very surprising sometimes just how much moisture there stll actually is. Sometimes feels like you over dry it and it turns out perfect, once it's sealed and stored.
Imoe, moisture makes for harsh, green, thick smoke and burns to black, tarry gunk.

It's dry here, so they dry fast. Even with the humidity around 50% in my closet, my buds dry in 3-4 days. Then into jars and burped at least once a day, but I try to do it a couple times a day at first. Then daily for a month or so. Then weekly for another month. Then like every 3-4 weeks or when I need to get more out. I can tell they need more burping when a jar opens and kinda makes a popping sound. It's like a tiny bit of pressure which I'm guessing is the gasses produced during the drying and curing process. If they pop, I burp more.
I have mini hygrometers in all my jars which makes it easier.

So I've been reading and I have a question I'm in the middle of a harvest it's my first time being required to use a dehumidifier we've had a lot of rain in the past week that being said I got the temperature is okay my RH is right we're quote on quote it supposed to be but some platforms when I'm reading is saying otherwise my RH right now first of all the dry process started 9 p.m. Sunday night the RH 60% Sunday night I smoked a joint and it was phenomenal phenomenal the smell is awesome taste is good the ash is gray so I'm nervous I do not want to mess this dry process up I have never needed to use a dehumidifier so the temperature has never been low 70s before I usually I am at high 60s 68-69 around that area I've never steadily been 71 72 73 with RH between 50 and 64 since yesterday it's steadily been 52-54 am I okay everything I'm reading online stipulates drying process stay between 45 and 55% RH with temperatures between 65 and 75 degrees so textbook I feel like I'm good should I stop stressing all comments welcome

Update I went down recently to the dryer room the temperature os now 64F RH 55-60% TODAY IS DAY 4...WILL BE COMPLETELY 4 DAYS AT 9PM the bud still has the same Putin sweet aroma The Strand is sweet island skunk and it smells sweet the smaller buds with stems are starting to snap when you bend it but the bigger ones the bottom of the stem the branch itself when you bend it snaps when you move up the stem towards the middle of the branch and bend it it bends kind of snaps but not really so I'm thinking pulling them completely out of the dryer room and jarring them at 9 p.m. that will be four full days everywhere that I looked says 7 to 14 days then people say 025 days I'm not sure what I should do the temperature has steadily been low 70s up until today last night technically but I'm okay with the temperature in the mid-60s hello sixties should I continue on schedule and pull them tonight at 9 p.m. or should I wait until the top completely snaps the top being the main top of the plant when I bend the branch that carried the maintop the bottom of the branch snaps when you move upwards towards the button the middle of the stem event with a crunching noise but doesn't snap again some of the smaller branches do snap should I pull or should I let it sit for another day to be safe 9 p.m. today will be for full days of dry with humidity between 50 and 65 usually the low end of 50% RH with temperature steadily 70° low 70s if I receive answers before 9 p.m. I will consider all comments and go from there

Okay so one more question and I'm done with this thread hopefully somebody will respond today so I'm not screwed dry process the RH is supposed to be between 45 and 55% with temperatures between 1675 Fahrenheit is what I'm being told but when you achieve the optimum 50 to 65% RH or lower when you put them in the jar to cure them the RH stays in the mid-50s is that what I'm trying to achieve or when I put them in the jars to cure they should be at 60% RH so basically my question is this how am I to acquire 60% RH in the jars at curing when in the dryer room the RH is 45 and 55% RH if I want that 60% RH I shouldn't wait until the stem snaps because by that time you have already achieved 50 or 55% RH when you put them in the jars to cure it's going to stay in the low 50s so I'm confused why does it say online 45% or 55% RH but when you have him in the jars 60% RH I feel like once you achieve 55 or 50% RH in the dryer room when you draw them you're not going to get back to 60% so I'm totally confused all comment welcome

I have a question all comments welcome hopefully I'll receive answers today when drying your trying to acquire a 45 I'm 55% RH okay if you achieve said Optimum RH when you transfer the butt into mason jars to cure how are you going to achieve 60 or 62% RH Mommy if you took the marijuana out of the dryer room at RH 50 or 55% when you pick a bud in the jar it doesn't go back to 60% so I'm confused if I wait until the stem snacks a my hydrometer is reading 50 55% RH and you put that bud in a jar it is not going to jump back up to 60% so I'm really confused cuz I have tried it and it doesn't jump back up it stays at low 50s all comments welcome again

I hang around 7 days and crack open jar a hour a day for 2 weeksI understand the concept, and follow the rules.. But what are the best *burp* times?
I know a lot of ppl on here come to a crawling, slow and painful finish when it comes to harvesting, if at all...So please only experienced grower's comments welcome Lol. not to be a dick, I just dont wanna hear what you "heard" works best..anyways:
off one plant I raked in over 234g of chronic. A lil over half P. I have (11) (12oz I think) Mason jars, filled w 20g ea..
and one other side jar. So the jars are filled I'd say abt 80% ea.
**SO I'd like the "perfect cure" Anyone have any suggestions on burping times? how long/how often..

We burp to get rid of residue moisture, when the buds are at the right moisture level you do not need to keep burping. I dry whole plant for 10 days and they go into jars perfect moisture level no risk of mold. A short burp 10 seconds once a week for a couple of weeks then once a month. Lovely cured buds every time.

What's going on so update I did not pull the marijuana last night at 9 p.m. I went down the mean top stem isn't snapping yet it's bending with a little crunch but no snap my question was if during the dry process the optimum goal is to get between 35 and 55% RH then from the drying process to the Cure you're putting in the Mason jar and you're trying to achieve RH of 60% my question is how can you achieve an RH of 60% while it's day 5 I'm feeling like I should pull today so I don't over dry the bud

Curing your post harvest blues..
Ah yes. Harvest time has come. The buds are swollen, the trichomes are the exact color you have been waiting for. The smell is rich, and soon becomes almost overpowering as you tear into that first bud with shiny new scissors. Not too many of us really like big trim jobs, but we endure. We endure because we know that in a few

We endure because we know that in a few short weeks we will be enjoying the fruits of our beloved labor.
Of course, we all know that this is not the finish line. On the contrary, this is only the beginning of the race...
The Cure
Oh yes, the cure. Many times has this been judged the most important part of the growing experience, and with good standing reason. This is the point where all our patience and skill will shine through, or take a dive into the miserable oblivian of smoking mere mediocre herb. Botch things here and it will all be for not. Though a perfect cure can help cover up some small discrepancies during your grow, having the best growing conditions on earth will not earn you a free pass through this hallowed gate my friend.
So, how's your cure? Perfect? Consistantly perfect? Are you a Cure Master? Hmm.. Prove it. What?
Did you know that your cure can be broken down into a mathematical equation? What if I told you that you can attain the perfect cure, the best cure possible, every single harvest? And what if it was as easy as painting by numbers? And what if this could totally affect the way you cure, wether you are a newbie, or an old seasoned head?
The following is not something I discovered myself. I was first introduced to it from a guy named Simon. All though he initially taylored it to cannabis he, of course, didn't really discover it either. We most likey owe that to producers of tobacco. Their techniques are somewhat different but since they are curing a plant intended for smoking..... Well, it's just simply a matter of numbers.. I have, in turn, borrowed this concept and brought it here. I have eliminated what I deemed unneccessary and added some of my own insights/experiences. I have also condensed the original information the best I could (as it was quite haphazardly introduced, and many facts/ideas were addressed in later installments) in my own words (which has, in turn, increased greatly in size), but all credit must be afforded Simon for bringing these techniques, in their raw form, to public scrutiny. This, by no means, suggests that the work (either the original, or here) is complete. There are assuredly many more facts, discoveries and techniques left to be uncovered. That said, let's begin..
Cannabis is an annual weed. It's purpose in life is singular and pure: Continued propagation. The female cannabis plant, through it's propagating qualities is naturally the ultimate focuse of this forum, along with many others just like it. In order for the female cannabis plant to fulfill her destiny, and to fill our jars, like all life on earth she needs water. Her flowering buds are full of it. It is the point of drying them to release this water. The cure, on the other hand, is a bit more complicated. In contrast, the cure is an attempt to delay this release of water over time. It is this juggling act that is in dire need of deciphering and it is this thread that will show exactly how it is done. It is said that the bud of a cannabis plant continues to live for a certain amount of time after it is cut from it's stem ( per Ed Rosenthal), in some cases a couple of days. I personally think this is crazy. This is akin to cutting off a chickens head. A lot of good it did the chicken.. Unless your bud has the ability to sprout instant roots and walk itself to an empty pot it is, for all intensive purposes, d, e, a, d, dead. This, by no means, insinuates that there are not living cells and processes to be found, but without the ability to replenish water, the drying has begun. Even though the bud has begun it's dry cycle, there is still plenty of water in it to allow various cells to continue to function. Since the main stem has been cut they have no choice but to pull water and nutrients (in the form of clorophyl and other complex carbohydrates) from stores in the bud and process them into simple carbohydrates (simple sugars) in order to continue to function normally. The more complex carbohydrates that are broken down and the more simple carbohydrates that are used and the more moisture that is lost, the better your buds will be. Within this process is the secret to the perfect cure..
