    drying buds are fragile and need to be handled with the utmost care. Dont let them touch so air can pass between them speeding up the drying process and preventing mold from moisture biuld up. the tricomes can also be easily knocked off by buds smashing into one another. Cure in wide mouth glass mason jars used for canning. The buds can touch in the jars but keep in mind the more you handle them and expose them to light and air the less potent they become.

    Is there a chart to determine after buds are finished and ready to smoke ,how long would it take till buds becomes bad to smoke , eg less potent and stuff. or is it just important during curing stage , cause i had a situation where

    I found some buds in my backpack that was over a year old in a small baggie and it still tasted like 1 year ago when i smoked it .

    your bud will be fine if its not mouldy

    it should be almost as strong as its been in the dark!

    enjoy

    three things hurt curing buds. Light, Air, and moisture. Avoid these things and you can keep it in theory forever. They uncovered a mummified person once that had some weed in its coffin. The weed was preserved very well.
    Organic marijuana just tastes better.

    In this Stciky theres a section refering to drying buds about half way down the first post. If you follow this guide you won't go wrong Key Points Of Harvesting

    Also if you live in the UK then go to ASDA or Tesco's and they both have air tight curing jars, there not really curing jars but there 99% perfect
