Shed Cure?

Got a shed that I think would work for drying.

Problem is I have Jugs of Gas and Stink Catfish Bait in there.

I'm worried about smells getting in my Bud. Is this going to be a problem?

How big are your plants you need to use a shed for this?

Cure a branch or two in the shed for testing. Remove the catfish bait temporarily. Bud is more valuable that catfish bait.

I cure in a outdoor shed and it never picks up nasty lingering smells. Cold and slow is fine for curing.

Yes we eat the meat. As matter fact I ate some today.

Not sure where I will put the Stink Bait. Got 10 pounds.

They took over my Garage and Shop.

Meats is ok this time of year. I make prosciutto Dec-Mar when the humidity and temp is low in a garage.

10 lbs fishbait.. if cold outside, could you place in airtight tote? Will it off gas too much?

If i had to choose, weed wins every time to catfish bait.

Unless the bait is strong stinking enough to drive you out of the shed it'll be fine to dry there as Cannabis has a powerful stink all its own.

Just dry slow. At this time of year with low humidity it can over dry hanging buds real fast like in just hours. It never fails when I have plants harvested and hanging we'll get a winter Santa Ana wind event with cold stone dry air in the single digit humidity blasting in from the high desert and out to sea. It has wrecked things more times then I care to count.

Hang only until the small popcorn starts to firm back up.

Remove buds from branches and cut all colas into nothing bigger then a golf ball.

I place it all into cut down 3 inch tall paper shopping bags.

I stack the bags of weed in a new clean trash can at night and put them out a few hours a day gradually reducing the time exposed to the low humidity air during the day.

At then end of 7 to 10 days it should be down to 65% and safe to jar with no burping needed.
Squeeze the Charmin. Your fingers will tell you what it needs.
Soft and mushy feeling = Needs more dry.
Firm and almost crisp = Needs more Can time.

Below 55% all biological activity the Cure depends on stops and will not restart.
Think of drying Cannabis like Cooking a fine Steak. We want Medium Rare not Well Done.
Exactly like that Steak we only get one chance at getting it right. There are no do-overs with this.
