curing question

[giz2k14]

Yea.. to be on the safe side 2 days in the bag.. The bag will help sweat it as it absorbs moisture..so it actually drys it from the inside out. As opposed to it drying from where the oxygen hits it to the center. If you're uncomfortable with 2 days at least do 1 and a half, bag it and don't open it for 36 hours..

Ok mate thank you I got another question I got some really solid nuggets off one strain so there harder to tell if there moist or not they got a little spring to them when I squeeze them.should this be ok to check how moist they are ? They don't crumble or crunch qhen u squeeze them

Don't squeeze them to much..

I would brown bag those for a day or two more then the lighter nuggs...they get rock hard..you're still going to have to jar them burp and all that.. just not as long...maybe a week or so. If you go directly to the jar you are going to have to burp way longer and it will smell more like hay or grass clippings.

When you try to dissect a nug and it dosent snap off the stem and its more stringy its not ready.

I see so dry them out more and I will have to burb less

Yes..but drying them slow is the key.. If you extend the dry it gives chlorophyll more time to evaporate .. When you jar your slow dried bud, the nuggs will smell better.. and you won't have to burp as much..

Yes it wil improve over time as long as you keep burping regularly.

A day .. If it's still good check it in two.. If it's still good check it in 4 ... After you do that u can open it once a week for a month. At some point it should smell so good that you'll know you don't have to open it for a while..just make sure it's not to wet It can mold if it is...If the grass smell stays it was jarred to wet and stayed closed for to long. Be careful it can smell good and still be wet enough to need to be burped..it's hard to explain after you do it a few times you get a feel for it..
