Here, read this. It's about as simple of an explanation as you can get.. on the drying & curing process.
Drying your Marijuana
Drying your medical marijuana buds can take from 1- 6 weeks. Drying time can depend on where
you live and the environment at which the buds are dried in.
How I go about it is:
1. I trimmed all the leaves off the bud I then cut the buds into manageable sizes.(I like mine around 10 inches)
2. I take those 10 inch cut pieces and hang them up in my closet with a small fan at the bottom to keep the air moving and to help create a even dryness to your buds.(do not aim the fan right on the nugs, it will cause them to dry out to fast) The humidity is around 50% in there and the temp is about 68-70 degrees.
3. I keep the closet area very dark and check on my stash daily for any mold, mildew, bugs, even the overall dryness of the bud, or a sample now and then.
4. Next I wait for my smaller branches to do that famous snap sound when I apply minimal force to them,(video will address this step) this is when I know its getting close for the curing step. Sure enough a few days later the bigger stems are snapping away and the buds feel evenly dry with me giving them a slight squeeze. (sometimes I will clip away the smaller buds to cure while giving the larger buds a few more days or so to dry before placing them in air tight glass jars for curing)
Curing your Marijuana
First I take the larger buds and stack them loose in the tall air tight glass jars, then the smaller nugs will fill up the rest of my glass jars. (do not pack buds tight, 1/2 to 3/4 full at most) For the next week I will empty the jars once a day on a screen to air out for a few minutes then place them back to the jar.
I will also open the jar later that day for a minute or two to recieve some fresh air. (Very important to check for mold or mildew every day) After a week I will only pop the jars twice a day for a couple of minutes to exchange the air. As the weeks go by I open the jars less but still open once a day.
About 4 weeks of that going on and my buds will be nice and crispy with the trichromes sparkling like diamonds.(The longer the cure the better the taste in my opinion) My joints will burn smooth, evenly while tasting very flavorsome.
And there ya have it! It's as simple as that my friends.. its really not that hard. It's not rocket science.. its an art. Growing marijuana takes time.. and over that time.. you'll learn what to do
and what not to do when growing cannabis. Also, patience is key.. to growing cannabis.
That's all for now.. thanks for reading.
