Curing In Jar But Still VERY DRYY...Tips Please

Hey,

Well I read alot of the threads here on curing. Alot of them said the stem should be at the point of snapping and when that happens its ready for the jar.

My problem is that I have had them in jars for about 4 days and the buds are still very dry. I have been opening the lid at night about 1/2 inch and then leaving it closed during the day. I also keep the jars in a draw...because all threads to keep in a dark place.

A few threads mention to add either orange peel, lettuce, etc into the jar...however, I came across a few threads from experts who claim adding these things will only cause the bud to mold.

Could someone please let me know what I should try to fix this problem. If some of you have tried the orange peel and had no problems...please let me know how long you left the peel in the jar...was the jar closed, how much bud was in the jar with the peel and do you put peel on top or at the bottom...Also I know some of my questions might sound very dumb...but please understand I dont want to make a mistake and ruin what little amount of bud I have left.



Thanks in advance for the advice,

Jon

how long did it dry for??

I would try adding a orange peel or something to introduce some moisture back into the jars. If there bone dry then this can only help since mold wont' be an issue with such dry buds. Keep the lid shut and check on them to see if the buds get any softer. hope it works out

lol let me help u out brother, lol ur gonna wanna keep tha nug in 47Degrees or sumwhere close in complete black n a zip lock bag or a jar and just burp " release old air and let fresh air in " it every day for 3 to 4 weeks and it will contain 13 15 percent moisture and thats just about tha most chronic they'll get and tha stoniest way ta cure um out, peace

What I do is thke a piece of alumium foil big enough to cover a jar lid,screw the lid w
ith the foil molded to the lid back on the jar, take the lid and foil off the jar, take foil and poke holes in foil center, put piece of apple peal (or any thing moist) between lid and foil, screw back on jar. this will moisten the weed Use your judgement from there...Has worked well for some people I heard off, I really would never willingly break the law myself...peace...good token...

edro

all you need to do is place a fresh leave in the jar for a night, it will moisten it right up

Some of us dont flash dry our budz, we care how they turn out

If you dont like the brittleness of your weed and you are worried about mould from orange peel etc. just get a smallish green leaf from your garden.
Wash and dry the leaf in cold water.

When the leaf is fully dry place one decent sized leaf at the top of the jar and just reseal the jar.

Remove the leafs every 2 days and replace with fresh ones until your bud is as moist as you like it.
Replacing the wet green leaf prevents mould.

The main problem with mould is leaving very wet or thick things in your jars also orange peel usually always has mould just waiting to grow on it so be extra careful with fruit peel of any kind.

just change the piece of orange peel everyday dont give it a chance to mold.wash the orange real good before u peel it.

hahahaha. funny shit

From my experience curing, i have a quick and very easy solution. The few times i had some bud dry out too much while curing, i simply opened the jar and lightly blew into the jar as if you were trying to fog up a mirror. Then just close the jar and check it later. I have seen mold from using the orange and lettuce methods, but no problems from this!
Just doing the breath method 2 or three times in a week will make the bud perfect again, and dont worry if the bud feels a little too moist, just leave the jar open for a little while.

HELL NO !!!!! after a cuple mounths buds cured this way will smell like bammer and how big of jars do you have if you have a 6 lb plant that is over dry. Dont ever use fruit or vegies. Use a brown papper bag no transfer of sent just moisture and the natural flaver of the buds are kept. Not to mention the acid in lemons could break down thc and absorb it in the peal. Fuck that this is the reason I posted on this old forum because people do stupid ass shit to bring moisture back into buds.

If you have a small amount you can run hot water in the bathroom producing steam and put the buds on a plate on the counter for a little bit but never add food products!!! never !!!!!!
