I keep a few strains around and bounce between them. Helps keep the tolerance down and the highs interesting. Sometimes I'll prefer one high over another for that day. It's a great way to go about it for me - and it sounds like you as well.
For drying, I keep that simple. I just hang everything in a tent and lock the RH at 60%, trying to keep temps near 70. It's done and jarred in 15-20 days.
If you don't have those resources and must jar cure, it becomes somewhat of an art form - but it's still just a slow dry to a good moisture content, ya?
Ya, so much of what we do lays in personal preference.
I was under the impression that some of the volatile terpenes we are trying to preserve will evaporate at temperatures as low as 58f, one of the reasons fresh frozen concentrates can have such vastly different terpene profiles (aside of the maturation process curing has on terpenes).
Not that anyone would ever try to dry in 58f, but 70f sounds high to me. Ive heard 60f,64f,68f and those all sounded relatively good to me. There's so many techniques but majority fall between 60f-68f and 50%-60%rH; where 50% is generally reserved for the first 3 days only.
I definetly know the type of flower I prefer to smoke, just trying to master the curing/drying techniques in order to acheive that. So I'm trying as many things as I can.
I have 2 grove bags that are coming along nice just very slow, anyone have experience with these?
