A question about curing?

Post by Dick Fein »

How quickly do I want to reduce from 80 % moisture before jarring? My curing has been hit and miss so this time I have hygrometers in the tubs and brown bags and trying to do it by the numbers.

If your buds have only lost 20% if it’s moisture. You need to dry it down to about 50% before jarring. I have never had a hygrometer and have always done this old school so perhaps I am reading this wrong? It measures the amount of humidity/moisture so if its at 80% then you need to dry it more.

I think what hes asking is how close to put the lid on those soas to affect whether
no lid and their at 50% in three days
lid on and just a bit ajar and mabe it takes 10 days

does this difference affect how suscessful your cure is?

I have been sweating them already and can't meet those environmental conditions here now but when it's time to dry the outdoor I will. I never really had to cure it before because it was gone so fast. Now I have a chance to learn how to do it right. It's been 7 days to dry 20% but the stems are still flexible so it certainly needs to dry more but too dry is just as bad.

When the stems within the terminal buds can be easily snapped after being in a sealed jar or bag for overnight, they are ready to begin curing. Burp them once every few days for a couple weeks and that should be good.

Time, heat, oxygen ruins good weed....curing is a gimmick.

There’s a reason all the oil/hash/crystalline/distillate/rosin makers all charge more for the stuff made with fresh frozen trim and freeze drying is the best why to get the water out of hash.

why not displace the oxygen for curing/storage?
