A perfect cure every time

i am trying this cure method now with some greenhouse seeds thai. i have been in the 61-65% range for about a month now. it seems to be going very slowly to me. i started taking the buds out of my mason jars and letting them sit in an air conditioned room for a couple of hours(we are in a really hot and humid weather pattern right now) or they would still be right around 65% i think. burping wasn't doing anything. the taste is getting nicer and it has started to burn a lot nicer in a joint. i know slow is the key here but is this going too slowly? any suggestions for speeding things up or will i wind up f'ing things up by speeding things up? thx.

If you use a "cheap" hygrowmeter. You can put inside a sealable container or zip lock bag along with 1/2 cup of table salt and 1/4 cup of water (:mixed). Wait about 6 hours. The reading should be 75%.

Its its off .lets say its reads 80%, just remember to subtract 5% when ever your taking a reading.
You don't even need that much salt to calibrate. I've done this many times with my hygrometers that I keep for measuring my cigar humidor. All you really need is a soda cap full of salt and enough water to make a thick paste, you don't want it soupy.

Why make a paste with salt and water? Am i missing a scientific backed reason for this concoction? Ive always just wetted and wrung out a paper towel, placed it in a ziplock with my hygrometer and in about 2-3 mins it should read 99%

the salt test is a 'standard' way of calibrating hygrometers, been around a long time
my caliber 3 intructions advised against this test, possible damage?
that may have changed in new 4's

Have any of you tried curing in the sun? put one little nug in the sun to dry on a sheet. when it is dry put it a bag, and then take a nug of your 'everytime perfect cured magic weed' and put that in a bag. Have a friend take the bags while your not looking label them and give yourself a blind taste test. blind folded or just have the friend pack a bowl. IF YOU CAN TELL THE DIFFERANCE ILL BE DAMNED. You cant tell the, these curing techs are the silliest thing about this fake marijuana science. these grow shops are taking all you poor boobs for a ride

Lazy mans way- get it to where the stems snap. Then seal it up in a mason jar with a 62% humidipak. Theyre not that expensive. It's that easy.

Heh, it's as if folks would rater argue than grow lots of bud. When I started out, I identified a number of growers I wanted to learn from, shut my mouth and listened for a hell of a long time, while putting in the hours in my own garden. Here, the less experience you have, the louder you are. No thanks.

Simon

So true. I'm going to try your way this year so ill let ya know the out come. I didn't cure the right way last year cuz it ended to dry for my like. It had a good smell and taste but burnt fast so I'm giving this a shot this year it's my 3ed year growing and it's getting better each year. Purple haze- ak and bubble gum this year.. I'm trying the clone thing also but got them from a friend so not sure what they are. There some beauty's tho. :)

After reading all 22 pages to this point, I have a question for Simon or any grower who has a lot of experience with this curing method. How important is it, or does it matter at all, that you keep the buds attached to the stem until you're ready to seal the jar up long-term? The reason I ask: I trimmed two plants last night that had been hanging to dry (fully intact) for five days. I trimmed off all the sugar leaf, cut the buds from the stems and put the buds for smoking in one jar to cure, and the popcorn buds and trim in another jar for cannabutter material. The humidity level in the jars when I got up today -- yes, I bought a Caliber IV just for this -- was 64%. So far, so good, although based on that reading maybe I should have trimmed and jarred the material a day or so earlier. I'm wondering, however, if I screwed up by cutting the buds from the stems. I mean if curing is, in essence, the process of water and the chemicals within the plant changing, and -- I'm assuming here -- moving to a deprived area such as the drying flowers, did I short-circuit that process by removing the buds from the stems?

If the the rh stays at 64 your sweet, if they were to dry then hopefully the stems should re-moisture to bring it back from almost losing it. only the existing moisture in the buds or stem, presumably works at curing the bud, outside moisture does nothing. Down to the enzymes i would imagine.

I don't understand that concept. Y'all talk about a cure like your decarbing, once the carboxyl group is broken by removal of co2 or h2o it won't reform that chain by adding moisture again. But if this were true to a cure when the outside of the bud drops below the supposed threshold of 55% or whatever you say why does it continue to cure when rehydrated by internal moisture.........

Question--if I were trying to save money the first time around, could I use 1 hygrometer and a huge jar/ air right container?

I have ten plants flowering my first time through, I'm hoping to get at least 8-10 ounces.

you can swap the hygrometer around some smaller jars
as long as the buds are equally distributed, most jars should be pretty close in humidity
you could do the large jar/container, i do see posts of it being done
but i'd think smaller jars would be easier for the 1st time use of this method
