Drying, Stem Snapping ..... any input ??

Been drying my first harvest woo hoo i am really excited to smoke my own nugs but i still have to cure them.


Question: I have been drying for 15 days today, i have been checking on my nugs and making sure no smell of mold is in the dry room. The stems have been starting to snap two days ago but they started snapping on the small/thin stems .... my big colas stems are stiff but they do not snap yet, after so much pressure they just bend over. I am taking off for a week so i, could just leave everything drying or start curing, i dont want to dry to long read that it fuks up the thc .... but if i start curing today i only have 24 hours if that to pop the lid if theres to much moister. So thats where i am at .....any input ?? what would you do ??

Looks like a very nice harvest. Good Job kiss-ass
Have they been hanging up like that for 15 days? If so, I would say they are dry enough to start curring. Put them into an airtight container and open the container daily to air it out.
15 days is longer than I hang my buds up. I usually wait about 7 -10 days of drying, then I move them into an airtight container that I open for an hour every day for a week or two. The whole process can take about 4-5 weeks. There are many different ways and many different advice. Thats how I do it, I would recommend doing what makes you happy.

i judge the dryness of the buds ,the stems never snap , i have to burp more often , i just dont like the idea of the buds getting too dry....and i agree with big on his advice ...rob

Yhea im with rob here. I dont even let mine snap. Just like a day before snapping. I go with the feeling of the bud. This way takes longer to cure but if i were u they would be in jars and burping 2x daily for about an hour

thanks for the replys .... going to start my curing now
