Done rush it. Make sure your bud is ripe before cut. Dry slow and fully. Cure properly.

Hey buddy, did you earn your name, because I've been accused of earning mine...lol

No, but really, from what I've seen people do, "rushing" tends to be less obvious then what you'd think.

Last few seasons I've been starting my cure process before the stem snaps .....I just wait until the stem bends over kinda brakes and stays that way .....but not snap ....once the stem bends over and stays and the buds feel dry to the touch I go into brown paper bags to start cure .....at first dumping the buds regularly onto a cardboard covered table to spread them out last them breath ....after a few days of this then it's into large cure jars for normal cure burp process .......it's been a phenomenal outcome using this method .....great smelling sticky buds ......it's a little more work but well worth it because it's a lot of work/time growing in the first place ....why get lazy on the most important part IMO dry/cure. Good luck

Do you just dump all the nugs in the bag? Or do you layer each level of buds

I'm sorry I don't quite understand your question as far as level of buds...........il just clip the buds from the stem and put them into the brown grocery bags a little over half way full then roll the top of the bag to seal them in ......after that I will frequently check em and feel if the outsides of the buds no longer feel dry from the moisture being pulled back out inside the bag .....il then dump them out onto the table as mentioned above let them air out for a while and rebag them ......

Ok, so you fill the bag half way. That answers my question lol. What temps do you usually dry with? Usually around 70+In my dark room I built inside a huge mental building/barn ....Last year my outdoor was drying pretty damn warm though ...if I would have left it until the stem snapped or a week like a lot of people do it would of been to dry IMO.....I was bagging it on day 4last year but like I said it was drying quick ......but it's like anything else you do something enough times you get a feel for it .....I start my cure with more moisture than most but I also have to be on top of checking my bags and spreading the bud out to release moisture it's more work ......but the end result is worth the extra time of doing that IMO ......been doing it the last several harvests with great results ......
