Seems Simon never came back.... I think hes somewhere else here on RIU posting this same blasphemy on other threads. I really wish he could have provided some fact to this wet curing non sense... Well I guess I'll just have to take his absents and as his white flag.
I didnt want beef Simon, you just shouldnt attack people if you had no leg to stand on boss... But I wish him the very best in everything he does, and pray his bud never develops mold in those jars..

All in all, For those of you reading this now and have no clue what the last 30 pages have been about, please just ignore the information on this thread. Please.
If you are here to learn or gather information about curing, please do it elsewhere. This is not the place for correct information!!

Always dry your bud until the stem snaps, then jar it. Wet material in an air tight container will make mold.

What would happen if you put fresh lettuce in a mason jar and left in in the dark? Mold right? So why put wet pot in a jar?
Common sense people..

Not if you do it EXACTLY as posted. It works fine, I think you may have a problem comprehending the information provided. Been doing it this way for the past 4 years. it works. No mold. Perfect cure. EVERY TIME.

I've been burping my jar for one week , now my hygrometer is reading 63%. do i have to keep burping everyday or i can leave the jar sealed longer and dont worry about mold? thanks

the best way to gauge how wet bud is is w/ a hygrometer. and if it is wet it needs to come out. then try again the next day. my problem w/ the idea of letting buds dry till the stems snap leaves a lot to chance. if it over dries it's too far gone. a hygrometer doesn't lie. better to be safe than sorry. write a thread about your method if you like but don't bash this one

This thread is the reason I bought hygrometers, and the %'s given are fairly accurate by the OP. I wound-up modifying this version a bit, before stems snap I simply jar and measure humidity level. Usually it needs to go back on the rack for a while, then I simply re-test in jar.

Using this method I can slow dry w/o ever over-drying...like wine!.

quick question about the temps when curing like this, I have some bud curing in a jar and its been doing pretty well but I put it under my bed yesterday without noticing I have a heat vent blowing pretty warm air out right around the jar lol the temps got to about 75f and before that my RH was around 60 but after sitting in the warm air its up to about 70%RH should I leave it closed up a little while so it doesn't dump all the moisture out and be too dry to cure? I like this method though, when I can go by specific numbers somewhat scientifically and know it works I always love that lol

my feeling is that moist buds raised the rh inside the jar despite the warm dry air on the outside. had the jar been open your buds would be toast. you lucked out so proceed with your cure:)

You can say it as many times as you like but the chemistry applies regardless of volume. Change the temperature and you change the relative humidity. I suspect that since most of the volume inside the jar is marijuana (and not air) that it would have a dampening effect on the humidity swings (ie RH increases and the weed will absorb more moisture making the RH of the air lower, and when RH decreases the mj will release more moisture making the RH higher).




It also can't stay the same because of the dehumidifier and air conditioner. My point wasn't that the grow room is a static environment, my point is that when temp goes down, relative humidity increases, and vice versa. You can notice this in your grow room with a rapid change in temperature (up or down) despite transpiration.



Agreed, but I believe the meteorological discussions is applicable, not only to this specific case but to growing in general. I haven't got my hygrometers and tried this method yet, i'm just trying to anticipate potential problems based on my knowledge of how humidity works. Most people do not get the education to understand what absolute and relative humidity are and how they are affected by temperature unless they get a technical degree in the sciences at university. Even among the college educated I find most of them do not have a fundamental understanding of the science. I also see examples on this forum of people that do not understand how it works. I would hate to be checking my jars at 70* and see 55% humidity, only to have it shoot down to 30% and kill my cure when my grow room heats up, then have it jump back up to 55% when I check it the next day at 70*F. Also vice versa (seeing acceptable RH, then having the RH be too high during lights off, only to return to an acceptable RH the next time I check it). Neither situation would be good.

I hope that some people do find the information useful.

Does anyone ever notice a change in RH (in your jar) with a temperature swing? Do you always check it at the same time of day (and thus same temp in grow room)?

No. Zero Change, not enough air inside the jar.

The End.

Why do people on this forum have to argue every point before they even try this method out?

Good job with the how to Simon. I been curring mine the same way for years just without the hydrometer. It works.!

Hey guys!!! Ive just finished my first grow, which I hope to have done succesfully. I cut down my LSD after 68 days of flowering time, just when the first trichomes seemed to be milky and a bit of amberish. I might have cut her down early, but I would rather have it too milky than too amber. I dried like this: Four days of drying the colas about 20-25cms long hanging downwards in an environment of 25-45%. When the bottom of the stalks started to break when bending and the tops were still bendable, I cut them out in nuggets and jarred them up. That seems to be the level of dryness for curing, according to different guides. But how should I go about curing? Right now I have them hid away in closed jars filled up about 90%. I would really appreciate any input since it would be a shame to step wrongly after all this time, hard work and study. If Ive done the previous step wrong, then please correct me. Id really love some input from you experienced growers!

Sounds like you did good benbud. Just keep burping your jar the first few days or as long as it take to make sure they are the right moisture. Ideally you want them to burn even with no snap, crackle and pop noise (too wet). A nice even gray ash is what you want to see..
