I just dried some buds for about a week until they are mostly crispy. Before I cut the big stems, I want to suck as much water from those stems through the buds.
How much water is actually left in these bigger stems after drying? My buds are probably a lil drier than most after my dry but the big stems don't seem to snap just yet so I think there must be a decent amount of water in them. Is this accurate thinking?
I'm not a very experienced grower but my aim this grow was just to slow dry over 5-8 days then slow cure, draining the main stems of as much water as possible before cutting those stems and continuing the cure.
I had my buds in paper bags, but they were a feeling a bit too dry for the bags to do a good job curing so I moved my buds to vacuumed plastic bags where 70% of the oxygen was removed. I'm hoping this will leach water from the stems into the bud more effectively.
Any experienced growers have any thoughts on this?
