will it cure

if i dry my stuff to 60%, takes about a week, and vac in jars will it cure

I dunno, I set up a controlled tent, dehuey, ac, heat, and set the numbers like I saw in Rosenthal/cervantes grow bibles and my weed never sees a jar unless traveling or long term storage.
ifyou seal up 60% veggie matter in a jar it will first ferment, then mold.

IMHO it will...Chem and I disagree on the jar curing process...he doesn't use it I do. Different strokes....

I have always dried to high 60's Rh, jarred and burped every day, them once a week until 60 Rh...

Always turned out with no problems.

First pic is Blueberry at harvest, yielded 1.80 oz's. Second pic in jar and yes temp is a bit higher than I prefer, usually prefer 60's. Third pic is dried flowers.

Cheers

there at 65% in qt jars waiting for the humidty to go down around here to go down, will get them down to 60 and put those little paks of 62% and vac with the foodsaver

Where do you store your weed then from the tent to when you smoke

store? I grow whats needed by me/patients, use it from the drying area, gone before next harvest.

please consider I've turned my tent drying space into a large super controlled jar is all. jarring up wet cabbage is called fermentation. I dont ferment my herbs unless making wine with them. maintaining ideal drying conditions is easy once you have the controls in place. no controls? use a smaller space, like a tupperware or glass jar I guess, could never find one that fit a dehuey, ac, basebaord heat inside though.

Oh gotcha, so you smoke directly from what's being dried, right until the next harvest , have you tried other ways?

yes, fermenting my weed never sat well with me. If I feed heavy to the end I have to ferment the buds just to digest some of the unburned carbs in the material. With a refractometer I no longer had to do this. I know exactly what my plant is consuming, when it needs more, or less, and when optimal harvest is. With little to no unburned carbs fermenting them out is unnecessary. notice many who do ferment, and many who do not? those feeding organically rarely ferment, those selling commercially, do.
commercial weed, like tobacco is overfed to the end, to make more cabbage. what they dont realize is that it doesnt make more thc, just more cabbage, like tobacco, that needs to be cured of its unused carbs before its even usable.
dont panic grow organic

So do you have a favorite time or optimal taste period of your herb, be it 2 weeks drying and 2 months? If you keep it that long

I'm only experienced in the jar method been looking at others
