Know an old hippy that cured that way he also cut holes in paper towel tubes stuffed his bud in there and hung to dry in Florida where the humidity was about 80%... Conclusion it smoked but ya was about the same quality as Mexican brick weed then again seeds were probably from some Mexican brick weed. It's used for drying but imagine your better off just hanging your buds guess maybe works like a cheap humidor lets some air in and moisture out but not much.

I'd stick with the tried and true method that already works for you, if you have one.

I've grown mexican brick weed indoors, dried it right, and it blew my socks off. We still revisit the genetics often. Its a different game when its not chopped early laid out in the sun and rain till its brown and crispy packed and shipped.

His (hippy in question) was green he grew it in homedepot buckets outside with sand/dirt from outside. No cure really though that was probably the problem just dried it and smoked it. Now we got some strain from mexico for a wile called lemon lemon sounded better when the guy said it than when i type it lol but that stuff was amazing!
I watched a greenhouse seeds video and they said to hang dry then brown paper bag it for the best cure and flavour.. It was at the end of the Kings kush video. Heard a lot of people say about doing it so im gonna give it a go when I get round to ordering some paper bags.
I'll try one at normal cure temps and another in my airing cupboard which gets warm and see what works best as ive heard both methods are supposed to work, the latter meant to prevent mould.

I'll second that.
What makes brick weed crappy is its cut early bricked when its still wet, shoved in tires to hide it and broken down repeatedly.
Those seeds grown out are killer bud. Fruity long flowering sativas. Uplifting energetic high.

I'll use a paper bag if I jar it and after the rh settles and still a little high. I remove from jars and put in single layers in the bottom of paper bags. The large thick grocery type work best.
Just the thought of trying to pick all those shredded paper bits & fibers off the buds seems a bit much.
I sometimes use paper bags to slow the drying process a bit as my rh can be pretty low at times.
Oh, and I always dry the larf in them until it's bone dry & it yields killer tasting bubble.

kinda, but you use two bags, one on your own head in case hers slips off
