natures way of slow curing

well help me if i couldn't find much info on this. but i been thinking about taking the pot and shutting off the water. then placing into polar darkness . temps 60-50's and humidity goes down from 50 's o 20's .with in a few days the plant really reaches for water and light and slowly dies still standing.. then the dirt slowly wicks away the water and it dries... any info on this would be cool. what is the natural life of a lonely indica plant growig wild on the top of a moutain.. justthe stalk sticking up with dried cold buds..?

In nature i think the cure is more microbial, whereas in jars its more evaporative for control.

I believe a natural cure is one where you take off the fan leaves, and lay the rest of the branches with buds and sugarleaves in a pile on a tarp, which you then use to cover and wrap the weed. Every night you rotate all the branches and as they start to feel the correct moistness you remove them to jars for a day just to even out the levels.
Microbes consume the chlorophyll and the sugars begin to ferment from the heat generated by these microbes, making it a natural way to cure.

We need to remember that nothing happens in nature by itself. If we want something to rust we need oxygen, if we want something to rot we need bacteria or microbes, if we want something to evaporate we need the correct temperature, for the pressure we are at.

Curing is the process of removing chlorophyll and breaking down plant matter into sweet sugars. If we could develop a process that would eliminate chlorophyll and not harm the scents or oils in the weed, we would have perfected the cure. Until then the best methods we have are what we know! IF you an spare a few nuggets each grow to test things on, you may be the one credited with the best new method of curing!

wondering through the high grass over the snow covered hill s watching the stars twinkle in the december freezing night. night . i am walking though and snapping and crunching the dried stalks of something .. it didnt fall into a pile.. although the leaves have long since fallen off with the fall. that was weeks ago... i snap the stem and feel the weight of the end of it and put it to my nose.. its very pungent and rabbitty. i carry it with me to the camp.

Ha what a lovely story, true one? Lol

Sounds like you have you been sneaking into my jars of Widow.

i am taking the lovely flower and placing her in the cellar by a very dim window that lets in a lil sunlight 4 hours a day there is still sow on the ground and it gets 40 degrees in there pretty dry.. it will dry standing straight up in full glory!
