A perfect cure every time

So this method works regardless of size of container? Pretty cool. After first reading this thread, I purchased a dozen food preservative jars with the clip lock lids, of various heights & have had excellent results & my buds are still improving. I'll be curing all my buds this way from now on. Thanks

The perfect cure starts by stripping the fans be fore you chop and do a 24h RO water flush with the roots off. I would never just chop and dry. We did twenty outside plants last week and it taste and smells like kush. They sucked up two gallons of RO water.

Hi guys i just started to open the jar twice a week and it smell and tastes poor it was good b4 WTF

If you take a little time to compose a cogent post that includes all information relevant to your question, I'm sure that folks would be happy to help. Good luck.

when i put buds in jar they smell like grass. i open the jar twice a day for a week then once a day for 2weeks then twice a week. after the first week it smelled and tasted great but when i got to open it twice a week it was smelling like grass

Bit hard to cure hundreds of pounds in jars. [You did mean hundreds of pounds, yes?] I couldn't even imagine manicuring that much pot.

We don't do hundred of lbs all at once but with large amounts we resort to beer coolers lined with brown paper.

This thread is about using a hygrometer to gauge the state of the cure; hence, allowing for the process to take place. It doesn't sound like that's what you're doing. Read the original post.

Intuitively, it sounds like the product may be too dry.

Can somebody accurately break down what CURING is? How does keeping a majority of moisture in the buds allow for proper breaking down of chlorophyll? How does the change happen without a proper drying?
Someone please explain with some scientific explanation. Or at least a detailed theory.. I cant say this isnt correct but I would like some type of explanation as to how this is considered the "perfect" cure, when Im not sure it is. Mind you Im no expert, just confused
For all of you waiting to troll out, provide me with a decent explanation and Ill apologize.. Again! For those of you I offend-- Im not talking to you! Just asking a question. Cuz Ive read 28 pages of this and still dont see the facts.

Excuse me, you ask this question and then act adversarially solely due to your own ignorance? Someone remind me why I come here.

This is called a Perfect Cure, because it's extremely difficult to screw up if the directions are followed. As for a scientific explanation, several have been offered, but none by me. Just don't care to take the time. It took over 7 years to perfect the process, thousands of real growers all over the world follow the methodology, and you'll have to forgive me for not being able to distill it into a few paragraphs just so some troll can argue about it ad nauseam. Search if you like to hear to science talk - there's a botanist on board who posted plenty about this - or don't do this at all. Your choice; it's not as if anyone really cares how you cure, especially me.

Oh dont be offended, I mean no harm. I was just hoping you could hit me with an explanation as to why, thats all. I just wanna know how/why it happens. Im not attacking you sir, calm yourself.

The little dehumidifier in my drying tent did a great job during the humid summer months. Should have been paying attention and not used it when the humidity went down and as a consequence I overdried my buds. What can I do to save them, or did I ruin it for good? It's jarred now, can I just leave the tops off? Put an apple slice in there? Any help appreciated.

try tossing in a 62% brovida(sp) humidity pack. it might help to get some moisture back in the buds. but im not 100% sure. back in the day we used to put a small piece of lettuce in the bag, a piece of orange peel, chunk of bread, ect.

Thanks for the reply. I'll try a little piece of apple. I know that works for tobacco, so maybe?

Everything was going so well, and then I have had one boo-boo after another.

Yea I was hoping to hear some facts about it too...
Its common knowledge among hash makers that your product cures in storage..terps cyclicize whether water is present or not
So moisture isn't going to help the flavor cure..maybe its that chlorophyll and sugars starches etc need moisture but I don't see why that would be the case either..

Oh well..seems the question just upset people

I'd suggest leaving the jars sealed. Hopefully, in time, whatever moisture if left in the stems will redistribute itself. A hygrometer really helps to gauge the state of the product. Good luck.

Trichs don't cure; they dry. As hash is the topic of interest, please post to a thread dealing with that subject.

I'd be happy to discuss this with you further, once you actually grow and harvest some bud, and then try to cure it. Until then....

Simon

I have plenty of pics up and been doing this for a bit over a decade....

Trichs do cure, terpenes become terpenoids and are cyclicized changing aroma becoming more robust and losing that perfume even soapy taste some fresh herb or hash can have, it becomes stronger having a lower ppm sensory threshold......do they lose chlorophyll? No or starches or nitrates etc? No but that's not all the cure is about

You have a real attitude issue..you won't answer our question and attempt to put us down?

Thanks for the thread ...
Well, it's called the perfect cure, because, every time, if you cure your pot to 62% RH it will be perfect...
Tried it, it worked, that is enough for me...
I do not care how, the science of the perfect cure... because it's too simple ....
So simple that those would doubt the validity, because how can anything be called or be perfect ?
Don't care... it works....
Perfect....
Have a good day !

That must explain why you have to buy weed. Please feel free to start a thread and post the pictures you claim to have, long with a marker that identifies them as your own. Until then... keep trolling, I guess.

You obviously know better. Good bye.


Simon

Lol yea I guess all the pics I've put up that don't pull a match on Google were someone else's..why are you trying to act like you know me ..the only conversation we've ever had resulted in your deleted posts and a closed thread..hint none of mine deleted...I never told you I bought weed lol..what kinda shit you spoutin over here?
Well ima out..was just looking for some sort of reasoning behind the moisture percentage and why moisture is needed at that level..if you don't know which seems to be the case that's fine..I never said by following this method you wouldn't end up with a good product...if that satisfies you fine..but I want to understand the processes at hand and if you can't help me do that I'll be gone...the cure works great that's not what I'm saying..and you shouldn't take such offense simply from two people (unrelated an I apologize for bringing him in) just trying to understand
