Lol I’ve read more variations on drying than I can count. And i don’t have the experience to answer except to say everyone does it different it seems. But this is the one I’m going with.
Question about it. Maybe ur understanding includes a little deeper insight into curing. there are other products out there now like 55% and 49% rh maybe one of those is better for long-term curing??
I don’t know. The only two I know of used are the 62 and 58%. I think the 58 was better for rolling and the 62 better for bowls. What do you think or do you use them @blackthumbbetty ?
I don’t use them, myself. Most seem to go with the 62, but some use the 58. It just depends how dry you personally like your buds.
When I harvest, I cut branches off the plant, wet trim those branches, then clip them up to dry in my grow room, which has a steady temp of 70F and an rH averaging between 50%-60%. I put a fan in the room to keep the air moving, but I don’t let it blow on the hanging buds at all.
After about 5 days, the buds are almost ready to cure. First, I snip the buds off the branches & put them in a single layer in a lidded cardboard box. I leave the buds in a box for 3-5 days, turning them once a day.
Once they’re just about stem-snappable, I put them into 1 qt jars. Then, those jars get burped 2x a day for 2 weeks (or until fully dried), 15 minutes in the am & 15 in the pm. Then, they get burped 1x a day for a week. Then, they get burped every other day for a week.
I smoked a half a bowl that was still in my pipe from earlier it was WW and it doesn’t make me sleepy. I guess that means another round is in order lol.
Ugh I’d love no munchies. My wife is laughing at me because I usually don’t eat sweets but once in a while. I’ve walked in from smoking and grabbed cookies 3 days in a row now lol
I actually think I’m losing weight b/c of no munchies. Lol! Also learned about THCV, a cannabinoid that is actually an appetite suppressant. I had always wondered if there was weed that didn’t cause munchies, and now I know exactly what to look for.
Usually, if I smoke, I eat…all the time. If I don’t smoke, I can go days w/o remembering to eat. Hopefully, I have found a happy medium.
Hahah yeah I think that’s what worries me. I usually can only handle sweets that aren’t overly rich sweets. Like fruit pies or cake without frosting. But high I can barely taste the sweetness of the cookies. It just tastes good lol. I turn into a candy and sweets junkie high lol.
