The first thing about curing is to make sure your herb is finished.... if you chop too early.. you can fuck yourself on the smell... next hang those trimmed buds until they feel crispy and the stem snaps, but doesn't break... kinda bends but make a snap... then chop the nugs off of the branch and put them into jars... you will see that the next day they are wet again... pour them out on a table or put in a paper bag for an hour then back into the jar... repeat the process until it is where you need it.... I bought a bunch of digital hygrometers off of ebay.... I keep burping the jars until they hit between 60 and 65 percent humidity.. then I seal them up and they continue to cure while they are held at that range... OG smells really strong when it finishes and should smell pretty strong... sometimes I think i smell the shit so much that you just cant smell it anymore... I gave someone some and I didn't think it smelled and they couldn't stop talking about how dank it smelled....
