cool. dry. dark. well aireated about 18 celcius for 14 days or until you can snap a branch easy. once dry take some to smoke straight away then take the other half of your grow and cure it in glass jars for at least a month. curing does improve your bud. best of luck with your grow man!!!!!

Well, you can do it Widowmans way, But I think his way will make the Smoke almost as harsh as not curing at all.

Perfect conditions is 65f-70f degrees, and 40%-50% Humidity. This is hard to do a lot of the time. My last dry and cure, my temps were 70-75, with 30% humidity. took me 20 days to do my cure, faster then I wanted, but it came out very nice. Had to frig it a few times

Well, you dry until the outside of the buds feel dry, Hanging them.
(3-7days). Then place them in a paper bag. Open bag twice a day for 30 minutes. Watch closely, moisture from center of buds will move to the outside. When this happens, hang them 12-24 hours, watching closely for them to dry on the outside again. Do this for about 7 days. will vary with conditions. When Stims just start to snap, place buds in a glass jar. Place jar in a cool dark spot. Open 1-2 times a day for 30 minutes. Do this for two weeks. This will allow the Chlorifil (spl) to be realeased from the buds.

AND NO FANS BLOWING. You do not want the buds to dry out to fast. Give them time, like a fine wine.
