you dry until you get to around 60% rh. Then you jar and start the curing process. This is where your bud equalizes, and stabilizes. The outside might be crispy dry, while the inside might be soaking wet. Once in the jar, you check your hygrometer after a few hours. If you go above 60 after a couple hours, you probably jarred too soon, and it needs to come back out. Boveda packs help simplify things, and allow a little more room for error. You can get a caliber IV or V hygrometer for $25-30......money well spent, i have one in every jar.

@Feisty1UR I believe you meant to say cure and yes it it mostly personal preference. Most buds hit smoother and taste more flavorful after a cure. As long as you have the humidity in the right range and store in a cool dark place you can store your bud in the curing phase almost indefinitely. I have found one instance where I preferred the taste of the bud better with only a short cure and not as much after a long one but that is not the norm. And long is a relative term as I don't think I've ever had a jar last two months lol

it does becomes smoother in the jar, but you lose terpenes, it's inevitable, I personally always smoke fresh weed, when I chop a plant I will smoke it right as soon as its dry enough to go in the grinder (3-4 days in my setup) then I keep going back for 10-14 days and eventually move to a newer fresher strain, when my cure is perfect (meaning enough moisture was kept in the flowers for the first sweat the way I want it) I will enjoy that weed for up to 2 months if its special, but generally I keep going back to my fresher weed, I try to have it gone within the 4 months mark. Even in glass jar, IMO, the quality starts to go down after 3 months, but thats just me, maybe I am impatient and bias, but I like my fresh weeed!!!

Lol it's funny because IMO weed is best after at least a month and a half cure but stays good for a year or so as long as you keep it vacuum sealed after that point. First couple weeks after drying weed gets all its flavor I try not to start smoking any for at least a few weeks after they go into jars.

Long overdue smoke report

Breeder: Bodhi
Cultivar: Super Silver Hashplant
Grower: @Al Yamoni

Well please forgive me everyone but when I got this sample I was too damn excited to get it and smoke it that I forgot to get pics of the nug :wall:

Bag appeal 8/10
Aroma 8/10
Density 6/10
Potency 8/10
Flavor 10/10

Great looking nugs very frosty spear haze type nugs. Not too dense but not airy by no means. Def a hybrid pheno but leans more to Super Silver Haze very hazey dom. Smell is amazing not to strong first whiff but can smell but once broken down wow reeks of lemon lime zest with a earthy spice woody smell. Taste like lemon lime sprite with a woody hazey flavor. High is great very good wake and bake daytime pick me up smoke. If you need energy this is it will give you he energy like 5 hour shot but not jacked up and very relaxed and clear headed but body is nice and mellow. Seems like good traits from both parents are shining through. Not racey at all but still gives that satty high with the indica body mixed in. Great pheno found and properly grown, dried and cured. Big ups to my bro for letting me sample it and I will get the experience it the garden soon. Mrs asked could I get it and it bro hooked me up so glad to have it and look forward to having a great amazing daytime smoke

@ShyGuru Heavy said "My nuggsnever see the inside of a jar for more than two months " I thought he meant as in, he leaves them to dry and then puts them into jars after that time. my bad. being an idiot :lol:

I don't really care about the smoothness or taste, its always a bonus of course. But as long as it smells great and looks great and gets you nice and stoney.

I was just curious on whether or not curing affects the weight at all. :-| My buds are already pretty much dry. When I was trimming I was getting resin all over my fingers, sticks to the ends of my fingers and thumbs like super glue!! Damn stuff is almost impossible to get off lol

@kmog33 how often in that month and a half are you opening your jars? If I had more I could probably leave them be that long but I never have enough so after about two weeks of getting the humidity in the right range I start digging into the jar. With my setup I'm more concerned with over drying than being a bit too damp so I use the jars to dial in my humidity gradually and will dump the jars for an hour or two or leave the cap off a while if necessary. Over dried a batch by trimming wet and it didn't have much taste and since I'm still a beginner I haven't had the massive buds where mold would be an issue.
And @Feisty1UR to answer your question, no your buds will not noticeable shrink during the cure. I always wear gloves when trimming and swap them frequently although you could rub your fingers together and get little hash nuggets lol

You won't lose much of any weight once the buds cure. If they are ready to be cured they should have lost most of their water weight. You might lose a few tenth of grams on each once if you lose any at all.

Also save that resin that gets on your clippers when trimming. Scissor hash is one of my favorite things about the whole process. Plus it will put you on your ass hard enough that you won't mind trimming as much.

The first couple weeks once or twice a day for 5 or so minutes, maybe less. After that the only jars that get opened are the couple I'm smoking til they run out and I refill from jars that have been sitting unopened.

Only if the product is to moist still will you lose weight....BUT it will mold out before then so you should be straight
