How do you know when your done curing?

How do you know when your done curing? I am curing in Mason jars and was wondering how long I should cure them? Thanks.

hang dry for about a week or less and then like 2-3 in jars depending on how long they were hang dried and if u used the paper bag method

They should be fully cured in about three weeks. Mason jars are still the best way to keep your stash so it simply means that after 3 weeks, you are good to go. Weed is no different from cigars, it will improve with age if properly stored.

IMHO you should cure for at least a month to allow all the chloraphyll to dissipate and the terpenes to break down, making for a much MUCH better flavour.

OK so after I cure in the mason jars for 3 or 4 weeks while burping every day for 30 minutes at the end of the cure just stop burping the jars for long term storage? Yes?

what do you mean by burping?

if properly dried, you only have to burp the jars for a week or so...

IMO it's done when, straight out of the jar, it smells, tastes, and burns exactly like you want it to.
The longer, the better (usually) as long as it doesn't over-dry.

It is so dry here (Arizona) that it dries way too fast. So my buds continue drying in the jar to slow down the process. I currently have four girls in the ground in the back yard. 108+ temps and they are still doing well, supposed to be 115 Sunday so hope they survuve.

Yes, burp them daily. Make it a routine. First, just examine the jar before you open it and see if there is any condensation on the inside.

You don't have to air it out for 30 minutes. If your room air is more humid than the jar, then you are only inviting problems.
Just open them up and take a nice long whiff. I casually point them at the A/C since that is the driest air in the room. Smell for ammonia, which is a sure sign of mold. I do this for the first two weeks. After that they should be in no danger of molding.

Try and putting a small piece of orange peel in your jar with them that will definitely raise the humidity. I usually use about a 1 inch square piece of orange peel

He was probaby carried on browsing old posts. Then he smoked his third blunt, took a light bong hit, a shot of scotch and suddenly got all worked up to help or suggest or just be a part of. Then we post in a 10year old post.

Whats better than a weed forum.
