    Don’t trim your plants at all for the first week of drying. Usually, if you’re having problem drying, it’s because you’re drying it too quick.

    Temps around 18-20c humidity 50-55% fan moving air around the room, leave the plants hanging but not touching each other and you’re sweet. They’ll take ages to dry and that gives plenty of time for the moisture to break all the chlorophyll and shit down. Pukka smooth smoke. 7 days minimum, tens good, fourteen is best. Depends on bud size.

    When the stems are snapping at the base of the buds, it’s dry enough to trim and go into jars for the cure. If you dry the way I’ve explained above, it won’t need much of a cure any way. Just stick it in jars and burp it once a day for ten minutes.

    I often have my buds dry for 4/5 days & sweat them in jars, pulling them out again when the RH gets too high... yeah, beyond what most can be bothered with as burping is easier but I find that slow drop from around 70% to around 60% really pays off... but that may just be my OCD playing out again

    What about my 4inch rvk on full whack or half? And extract 24/7 with rvk/filter

    You say you've been getting bland tasting weed brother how long you been curing it for ? i do similar to M C having a bit of moisture in the centre of the buds when jarring up and gradually bring it down sometimes having to turn it out of the jars for a few hours, just done my last crop like that and it's smoking pukka nice and fruity and sweet though it is organic as well, good luck bro', G'.
