ok thanks ill just hang it and check it several time a day. I have a friend that told me if it starts to dry to fast to put it in a black plastic bag for 24 hours and then re hang it.would you guys recommend do that to get a longer dry time?
Definitely not. That will make it mold. After it dries for 4-7 days (Don’t let it dry out to the snapping point) cut the buds off, put them in a mason jar and burp twice a day for 30 minutes to an hour, maybe even 2, then reseal. Occasionally, take the buds entirely out, let them dry for 30 minutes, then put the stuff that was on the bottom of the jar on the top and vice versa. You want to break down the chlorophyll in your plant and kind of ferment your terpenes for at least 6-8 weeks, curing it slowly, before smoking it. It’s like fermenting beer. You’re letting the moisture from the inside can the bud come out and reconstitute the dry outside, and you’re allowing it to finish using up its life energy, and “ferment” the terpenes.
