Uniform moisture is a key factor to curing bud properly. If you over-dry your herb, it will not cure -- even if it is re-hydrated.
I leave buds on long stems so I can hang em from a tight segment of parachute cord. (No fan leaves.)
When they feel a little crispy on the outside, they go into paper grocery bags to keep the moisture uniform while they are slowly drying. I put one bag over the other to make sure there's zero air flow.
When the thin stems snap, buds get trimmed & go into jars with boveda packs.

20180609_230327.jpg I chopped on the 9th
That is wet, shit shrinks up and it's haze so not really dense.
I'm only running on 600 hps
So not a ton of yield

As long as it smokes & make the user happy..it don't really matter.

I still to this day will chop a fresh nug off a plant,befor I go fishing..set it on the vent(1hr drive later)it's ready to be rolled & smoked... & it gets me high as bat snatch,in the deepest of caves.


Oh put a few pebble pusher in the flower room..(now if I can find that purple crunch)only came around in the summertime (june-august)in Minnesota. Best smoke to this day.

Maybe it was 4 days.
I appreciate your guys' concern. The buds are not wet.
I dried it hanging in my garage. RH 40%
I agree, usually it's a week before it's dry.
The nugs snap off the stem. I burp the jars daily. Until I turn an old fridge into a drying chamber I am at the mercy of my environment.

Yeah I wasn't meaning how you were doing was wrong or anything. I'm sure this isn't your first rodeo. I've had some close to dry in 6 days. But I'm higher rh. I figure you know what your doing. Jus seemed fast was all. I wish mine dried that fast. That'd b awesome.

I get mine done in 5-6 days and the RH is pretty high here all year around. I also trim wet, and dry in a hanging drying rack in front of a screen door for airflow.

Yeah I wet trim as well. I mean I've smoked both wet trim and dry trim. Usually the dry trim tastes better i.m.e. but not always. But for me it's easier to chop, trim, hang. Then jar. I hate when small leaves dry up and pull back inside that have got all nasty lookn. Bc I can't set there and cut them out. It bothers me. So I trim wet bc its easier to make the buds look better. But that's jus my experience/preference

Personally speaking I think the advice given on healthy living was well placed, and judging by some reactions very much needed.
We're all entitled to our own eating habits and preferences, but the vast majority of people are severely under educated on the subject.

The "Food Pyramid" taught and referenced for may decades now is an absolute joke and also very dangerous because it is based on pure lies.
The "diary" section was added to appease the industry, it hashno ppace in any of the recommendations made by the experts at the time, the original recommendations for fruit/veg was something like 7-11 portions per day (only rising to 5-a-day in more recent times to help combat the rise in cancers), the cholesterol warnings were downgraded from red to purple because the meat industry didn't want people confused by red warnings and red meat... It goes on and on.

Trans fats inhibiting processes of the brain that allow us to learn new information correctly, people are actually eating their way to stupidity. It's amazing!

I just thought that people here who are growing "medicine" would be more interested in knowledge of healthy foods etc. Seems like the perfect match of interests to me.

Again, everyone is welcome to their own views and actions, but try to make informed decisions once you have all the facts.
Rant over, sorry.

I was personally just having fun in my reply. I am healthy and live an active life so the bbq sauce stays! When I want to eat some fat kid shit I do it right, but mostly good stuff. I'd be horrified over weight not able to live with my self. I'd feel I was disrespecting what I was given and being fat makes me feel awful in every way. Did it once when I was younger never going back. Not worth all the beautiful women :P

what % do you use on the boveda's?
I prefer a longer dry time, trying to quick dry can cause all kinds of probs with getting your
cannabis to it's full potential.
and yes, drying it too much can take it past the point of no return for getting the curing process restarted.

never tried the 55s,
been using a couple 64s in 5gal pails w/omega lids on em for bulk storage.
they won't mold but it take s few days for the weed to burn good.
Ive kept buckets this way for 4+ months no probs.
I'm going to get some 50's and lower to do some experiementing.
I think the curing process stops at either 57% or 55%?
Ive seen some fine blue indica that was dried and cured and impressed me
and it was around 47%. I'm still trying to figure out things in the process and much of the process getting that perfect
finished product depends on the flowers and density resin content etc etc.
drying and curing is an art, many things affect what you get as a final product.
flowesr with a very hi resin content make it easier it is to get that top shelf finish.

I'd like to see more peeps talk about how their own process to get that perfect finish :joint:
