Curing/Drying in a Glass Jar with a Cork Lid

[BadlyDrawnBoy]

Would you theoretically be able to both dry and cure in one stage/process, in one glass jar with a cork lid?

Seems to me excess moisture would absorb into the cork and the air flow through the cork would prevent mold on the buds. You could shake it several times a day, and maybe have a fan blowing across the cork lid at all times.

After 3 or 4 weeks you'd have a product ready to be jarred into a normal jar with a sealing lid?

My interest behind this is to simplify the drying and curing process, have both processes happen in one container, and possibly improve on the entire process by enabling the "'dry" to last throughout the entire curing process.

You would have to constantly babysit it ...and start outside a jar ....and throwing a nug directly into a sealed jar after chop is no bueno .....I have experimented heavy with curing .....I start my cure wetter than most .....you have to get some moisture out first IMO .....if you wana speed this up ....start on a drying rack instead of drying on branches ....individual buds dry much faster off the branches.....

I was going to dry in brown bags for my first harvest. Doing that for 5 or so days until moving to sealed jars with 62 boveda's in them.

I hang mine for 4 to 6 days and then go into brown paper bags .....you need the buds to feel poky/dry to the touch before you start cure .....the whole point of cure is to pull moisture out slowly ....like I said you can lay your buds out individually if you wana speed the drying phase up ....but you'll end up with flat spots doing this.

Trimming effects dry time also. I like leaving the sugar leaves. I'll use them to indicate when to cut. I like to feel, a lil crunch over a softer middle before i place into a small tote to pull moisture from in the bud. I have let too many go too long in the jars (got mold). It's easier, for me, to feel the amount of moisture then let them breath until they dry again - but not too much! It's finding a balance of how much moisture you need.
