Curing . Hang or freezer

What's people's take on curing bud . I believe hang for 3 to 4 days then pop buds in a jar into the freezer. To freeze dry properly and cure at the same time . This aparantly also makes it a better smoke with better quality

How long you keep them on the freezer ? Never tried i'm curious.

Cure in a freezer?
I don't think so...Not exactly.....

There is an odd process of curing some tobacco that sort of way.... Your missing the part about how it's frozen for a few hours and thawed. This is done multiple times in another "freezing" cure method.

The idea is to freeze the plant matter enough to rupture cells and release moisture faster. Freeze - thaw and dry, and another period of air curing/drying take place. This process for tobacco "curing" was sent to the US patent office in the late 60's? The patent was granted in the early 70's? After that second dry. It is re dampened and slowly re-dried to smoking moisture content...If I remember right.

I prefer the old style, slow dry and extended moist cure method. Retains better flavor in my book.....

Shit, I just did a search of the patent......Here you go! Filed in 68 and approved in 70....

I would research this deeper before trying it again. Hate to say that "I" prefer the common method but, when I gave it a shot. I liked the old way better. I may have missed something, so digging deeper is a good idea before trying it out.....

I'll do some more research and give it a shot with a non-top shelf strain first.....

Interesting......I have concerns on if the trich's freeze and rupture the wax/ester outer shell that forms......Be looking into that too.

freeze drying has & better taste & a clearer high from the responses i have gotten back from people. it just doesnt have the same pungent smell as room temp dry & cure.

Sounds like you're going to lose a lot of trichs freezing your weed.

I dig that this is almost a year old, but freezer curing does work, and quite well.

-harvest, wash, trim and hang dry your bud with a gentle fan blowing on it--as per usual;

-once the buds are dry to the touch (could take anywhere from 5 days to 12 depending on your humidity situation) put them in cardboard boxes lined with parchment paper.

-place the box in a FROST FREE freezer and leave them there for 21-28 days.

-Around day 21 you can take a bud or two, place it in a jar and let it come to room temp, then jar it up and check the RH. you should be able to tweak to your preferred RH.

Works great for folks with access to a frost free freezer and don't totally dig burping and rolling all their jars.

Anyone that hasn't tried a 2 week slow dry should give it a go, only in a clean & controlled room though.

The freezer can dry weed but it always comes out different for me, not in the way i like & it will reak like hell for a good month in there.

Different strokes? Possibly.
