i open and close them until they are dry. leave just a little moisture. you don't want it crispy. you can smoke it once it will burn. :bigjoint: the curing should bring out the smell.

I have a big question about long term storage. My good friend and I are well established cigar smokers, therefore we both have nice humidors. I plan on growing my own herb in awhile and was wondering what you guys thought about storing amounts of weed in a humidor? I know it keeps cigars at 70% humidity forever and that is perfect so im wondering if a bud will keep for a long time in a humidor?

Thanks, Swift

I don't see why not..does it have multiple settings or is it constant 70% humidity???You know that normal old mason jars with the latch type lids will work well too.You just got to store them when they are dry,cured and contain enough moisture to burn smooth but not induce mold.I'm sure fdd can bust out a 3y old jar of bud:-P:sleep:

No Problem, Just be sure they are dried and cure before long term storage, and i would check up on them every month or so for the first few months to see how they are aging and be sure there was no excess moisture or they are getting to dry.:weed:

moist and damp are the same arent they?

so after they are done drying you simply put them in a jar and open it several times until you are happy with it? how long should i keep it open if the bud isnt wet again?

if the bud isn't wet then you don't need to keep it open. unless it's damp or moist. :mrgreen:

Can you give some idea how long it takes to dry, and how long to cure? If you smoke it when it's dry but not cured, does it taste bad?

Total newb questions, but I'm seeing a huge range of times, everywhere from three days to two months!!

mine takes about 4 days before i can start doing bong rips of it. it tastes great. bongsmiliebongsmiliebongsmiliebongsmilie


the curing process brings out all the deeper flavors and smooths the smoke out. it's good without being cured, but it's gets better. kinda like wine. you can get drunk off it when it goes in the bottle. age gives it "character", though. :blsmoke:

err, I hope not, but the only thing I can think of would be mold spores.... is that an issue in your jar?
