How bad did I mess up my dry/cure?

[Kassiopeija]

To me it's faster to trim dry than wet. Also I don't have to do it all in one sitting when trimming dry, I can do it over the course of a week if I like.

2 good points. Its situational.
Also, some strain may have fosty sugarleaves close to the bud but nearly zero trichomes towards the end of that leaf. In a wet trim its more easy to just cut it at the right place, esp. if its leafy sativa buds that would need that additional weight

My humidity is just as low at times - accept a slightly drier product after two weeks than ness with equipment and humidity. You might find its ready in 12 days not 14 but you will have to master yourself the smaller detail.

I hang in an open room with good exchange i.e. open door or such. Everytime conditions are different as are timings of dry and taste etc but it all works out just fine following the simple guidelines - the few failures ive had have shown me the limitations like enclosing weed generally spells mold or blowing wind force dries them and so forth.

I dont even think about it as become second nature after hundreds of harvests and no matter what theres not much to producing top grade medical dank diggity dank ass bud.

Jar humidity again is a factor of equilibrium, boveda lies and if you have drier weed it will be of a lower jar humudity - big wow makes no difference

Ya, like I said earlier, I aim for 14 days...

Hanging past that isn’t going to get you anything a jar won’t unless you’re trying to dry in a humid room. I live in a city with humitity regularly at <20% so it’s very hard to keep them hanging longer than a week without extra equipment.

And if you actually read my posts you would’ve read I don’t think I need those Boveda packs.

Cheers.

@thread
if rH is too low use a paperbag/box way of drying (slower). any closed environment max work, you control rH with the air in/outflow.

Simply explain where the prescise science is wrong - trolling boveda and leds forced me to step it up and now you get butt hurt.

My ego.... Have you even read any industry or trolling recently - you lot come across like gods gift im just reminding you to pipe down and be more humble as some of us payed attention here

lol, but it appears you have not mastered the art of making bank. Dude, seriously, you need to get a wife or somebody who you can impress because you are failing here.

Trying to act like a big shot by pointing out your twitter age = Fail
Trying to act like you are gods gift to growing knowledge = Fail
Trying to be a decent guy and not a prick = Fail

I appreciate your input, truly, thank you. How do you hang in such low humidity for so long without it going to dust? Some drys I could probably have it ‘dry’ in 3 days.. What conditions do you keep your dry/cure room at?

 

[DaFreak]

A day or two.makes zero difference and stoner science is weak.in any detail here whatsoever

You might find its ready in 12 days not 14

Keep them coming

kingrow1 do you think people are trying to use bovedas to dry and cure the weed or something?
I use them for storage so when the jars get opened they don't lose humidity

 

[swedsteven]

My way ...
Wet trim bowl trimmer
Dry take 7 to 10 day
Jar open close 2 week open jar everyday
Dry ... jar .... 60%rh in jar....let the jar open if above 60% or put back weed to dry then repeat. Until rh stabalize at 58% or little less.

After that it smell good lol.

Boveda make my buds darker lol went in dump

Dry and jar. It's that simple. If people want to overcomplicate things with meters and burping all day long that's up to them.

 

[Negrodamus]

Ive never used boveda's so bear with me. I thought they were more of an aid after you get the crop to a stable state of drying. For example, 24 hrs in a jar and maintain 62% or whatever you're shooting for.
Would they screw your actual moisture reading if used too early?

Im actually using boveda 69s because of how dry the outsides vs the insides were, and jars were at 40%rh initially. It's been 36hrs and I'm burping for 2, rh is between 62-65. They look, feel, and smell perfect, the smoke is still just a bit harsh.

 

[Negrodamus]

Trimming fresh makes no sense. You want to smoke half a leaf instead of easily pullinf the full thing out while loading the grinder?

My leaf pile tastes better than any wet trimmed bud. Because i let the dry ass leaf act as the buffer, rather than the air.

There's literally zero reason to cut the leaves in half while it's wet, unless you are trying to get it smelling like a lawn.

Who told you to trim fresh untrmed weed? You should break into their house and fuck their wife.

I only wet trimmed the leaves with visible stems I could get from the undersides of the buds. The sugar leaves sucked into the plant I dried and then manicured before jarring. I did this so I could freeze the fresh wet trim for bubble hash, there's quite a lot of it.

I think he was just replying to me using boveda 69s to initially get the rh of my jars up. I like hearing different arguments. Hobby growing for me isn't an exact science.

 

[Negrodamus]

It's mostly my personal stash so I'd like it to last at least a year without turning to dust. If you're unloading it commercially that would make sense though.

hundreds of harvests had me a good laugh while taking a shit on this beautiful Wednesday morning. Post a single picture of a grow you’ve completed noob.

And now for the op - plssibly in the six day dry on the plant and four hanging you managed to dry and get some taste through - i wouldnt have jarred because obviously as you describe on the jar moisture wet the drier parts and so could hang a few more days.

Hopefully it does work out and have a go at hanging till ready next time and see if any differences can be had.

If it goes crap tasting and smelling rehang see if cant be saved.

I think it'll be fine, and perhaps this would be a better reference point. Harvest 6 days ago was 41oz, after manicuring and jarring I had 12oz, after 48hrs in the jars with the boveda 69s I now have 8.2 oz. To be fair I've already smoked 1/4 though lol. I'm burping jars to 58%rh and will not be putting the bovedas back in for at least a few weeks, maybe a few months idk depends on consistency. Pic is the wet 41oz.

 

[xtsho]

Hard to tell if you did so but harvesting too early can leave you with weed that smells really good but not so much for the taste.

 

[PJ Diaz]

I know i do - check my join date then assume ive learnt and discussed these subjects with greater members than you and the trolls who disbelieve at present.

Assume boveda was just an idea in a noobs head when i was giving advice and pushing forth the knowledge here.

Wtf are you to tell me - just go learn like anyone did here pre led boveda times.

Nah you trolled these boards so hard most are confused but not i.

You disbelieve the basic hang dry then overcomplicate everything - No wonder i had to step in on the harvesting forum as your kind is killing members bud with hay smells and mold thinking because you read boveda info you know more than i do.

So many times you and others have tried to troll me down but you cant as im right and your confused.

How does it feel for a hobby small tent grower to cut right through your bs and have clear scientific factual answers you only wish you knew.

It seems we have to resort to ego because your seriously missing the wealth of info here and ruining what was for a lame ass industry that is still trying to learn from us real growers who been here long before.

LMFAO, check your join date? Are we comparing dicks now? Well I checked it, and looks like we both joined in the same year. Not trying to overcomplicate anything, but when you discount actual important variables, it shows me that you don't know as much as you think you know. I don't use boveda, not sure what your need to go on about it is.

Lol, beat me to it. In the summer the humidity here rarely if ever gets below 70%, weed dried in my garage takes 10 or more days to dry. Right now I have to dry indoors, and the humidity in here is more like 30-35%, so I use a paper bag after the first couple of days. Otherwise it dries in 3 or 4 days.
I've never used boveda packs, but I've rarely heard anything good about them. Nothing recently.

excactly this. what does happen if your cured weed is stored in a closed container but, accidently, the environment where the container is, cools down? --> the air inside of the box/jar won't be able to hold the same amount of humidity and it condenses right inside at the inner walls. Inviting mold. I've actually experienced this for one time. The weed in charge was cured for more than 9 month, it was stable, then I moved the glass to another place, and what I did find after winter was nothing but trash.

Boveda/ Integra completely prevents that by taking in/ giving out humidity. It stabilizes the inner environment of the container.

I'm also not using glass jars anymore because glass gets more colder "to the touch" than plastic buckets.

Ofc the mistake was on my part. I should've been more careful on the storage environment.

since I'm relatively new here I've got to ask: has he never offered proof of being a grower (commercial or homegrower) within his +10k messages?
