I've been told the curing process stops completely by about 6 months. 2 years is crazy. I found a few nuggs all jarred up from a harvest about 2 years ago just last week and they were brown garbage. Also, curing will stop if the relative humidity drops too low, below 50% at 65 degrees F (I think, been a while since I read up on it). But check out the drying and curing threads on here and you will find all the info you could ever need.
Ah good job i cant wait six months lol think ill cave after 3 weeks, yeah that sounds similar to what I've read here and there, thanks for that ill check some out
Your probably fine. You need to burp the jars daily early on to let out excess moisture. Extra space in the jars is a good thing. I do the same thing when the buds are too wet still, just spill them out on a paper plate till they feel a little crunchy on the outside then rejar them. If you shake the jars gently the buds should move around independently. If they are sticking together or to the jar, they are still too moits imo.
Yeah like they didnt stick hard but if i was to turn the jar upside down they would be stuck on the bottom with a hardish shake theyd come loose, i left em in there half.hour,before realizing and taking them out no paper plates or paper bags guess another couple days or less seeing as its just the bud drying rsther than all the shit left in the stem seeping through n out thanks for the help
Lol ok yeah felt like i was loosing shit my hands were so fucking sticky got a lovely lemony smell going on and the smoke smelt great ibwould upload a pic but the yield its just embarrising
A good rule of thumb when drying, when the stems will break instead of bend, they are ready for the jars. But some put them in brown paper bags for another couple of days, just to make sure they are really dry enough. If you can't roll a joint and it burn, they are not dry yet.
Yeah alot of places where I've read up on liken it to wine making :s bit good ol adhd leaves me hust staring at it every 5 mins lol hopefully ill get more patient with future grows
Yeah this seems to be the way its gonna go,saying that the crumbs that came off when i taking the buds of the stalk got rolled up n smoked in a rollie cig and it seems to burn ok didnt go out but then again there wasnt alot and the tobacco prolly dried it up a little smelled good though
I've done that. Can't remember which strain it was now, but I tossed an ounce or two recently that had got put up too wet and forgot about for a couple of years. My shit is scattered all over.
Yea. Wait for all to be milky and a few be amber.
OK noted
just think the main reason is im told its a smoother smoke weeds potent enough for my tolerance
if your weed is harsh you're doing something wrong to begin with. After you let your bud dry for a week, if it smokes harsh I promise putting it in a jar is not going to magically make things "smooth".OK noted
Smoke isnt harsh like im not saying its harsh and want it smoother but that was just one of the many "things" that will happen with curing from what ive read
