Paper Bag cure?

okay so i ran a 23 plant sog and from experience seperating each plant into their own jars for "selection" was way too big of a hassle from experience, but i do want each plant to cure seperately but given the difference in yeild for each plant it would be hard to get the jars filled eaqually and again a huge hassle cracking em all etc.. so i am thinking of trying the old school paper bag method with perhaps a twist and thought i'd ask for advice or feedback. basically i was gonna use 23 school lunch bag size paper bags for each plant label those and then put em all inside a large paper shopping bag then inside a closed plastic bin and crack the bin for fresh air every day or so.
does this sound like a bad idea? i would forgo the bin but idk how good the bags would work alone tho ik they used to just use bags back when i was a kid, however i never dared it

Just go slow. If you hurry it then you end up with dry product that is crumbly. I like first drying in the dark in a cardboard tray. Then when it begins to dry sticking it in the paper bag. By keeping the top closed the paper absorbs the moisture. Then I move it to sealable plastic bags to settle.

The smell out of the plastic bags is amazing!

Use unbleached bags - brown grocery .

Using your meter during hang to judge when to SLOW DRY in the bags. Break down colas , clip nugs in ... add a Rh meter ( hygrometer ) in bag . Roll the closed bag once in awhile to keep nugs from clumping. Check RH daily to see where they RANGING in overall Rh.

Then when they are close , you can jar and burp as needed. Still wet nugs will sink in jar and clump.
You can either rejar or dump on a towel , for some time , then re-jar to check again.

Brown bagging is a viable way to reduce drying to a controlled speed , and bag will breath .
Place bag in dark area , under bed , closet corner , just out of light.
