Need some help curing please

**scorpion** · 21-08-20, 11:44 AM

Basically this is my fourth harvest, i only do a couple of autos at a time, every time it comes to the drying and curing I mess it up, which as u can imagine is an absolute bastard after growing them for three month
I’ve read a lot on the internet and had a lot of comments but I can’t really find how long people have to swap them them from jar to box etc before being happy with the results, I have some Mexican airlines in a jar and it’s a bit crispy but after only a week I’m happy with the taste of it, can smoke it now without any harsh taste or coughing and shit, the thing is when I took it out from drying it was 56% I think in the jar and it’s now about 57-58%

Now I have two jars with stardawg in them one says 57-58% in one and the other is 62-63%, they’re looking better than when I first took them out though, just not sure how long roughly people take putting them in and out before settling on the % they are happy with

Sorry to peck people’s heads i just don’t want to mess it up again
Thanks for reading and for any help
Cheers

Easy way to do it, is put them in A paper bag for 3 weeks, turn them over daily or mix them up. Then you can put the in your jars and burp A few weeks and you done.

Cheers m8 just don’t want to have messed this stardawg up when I first took it out it felt dry but then after a bit in the jar it went like spindly if u get me not dry but not really wet just looked shite, so I put it in the top of my drobe and it took it down to 50s and it’s starting to look more like bud after jarring it now, so after drying I should put them in paper bags and leave them a few weeks just turn them or shake them around in between m8 cheers, I’m gonna do that with my northern lights that will be ready in the next month I reckon cheers bud

The way I do it and never had hay smell, hang it for about 3 days temp set to 20, then trim off the branches and put in a open box giving it a shake now and again, then after a day wack on the jars, if the rh is to high, back in the box for a few hours, I'm happy at anything around 60/65 rh then just burb for week or 2, then smoke and relax

Cheers m8 ah right so u only dry yours for 3 days, I think that they should be ok now then as one is at 62-63 and the other is at 57 I’ll just try and get that one up a bit more, I must admit the 60 odd one does smell a bit like hay but I’ve heard that goes away doesn’t it over time, I just wasn’t sure if there was a rough amount of time that your suppose to be getting the humidity down

That’s where it probably fucked me up coz it was at 29-30c when drying it

You'll find a way that suits, don't think anyone does the exact same way

I do the jar to box or bag method it the RH is to high i like mine at around 64% for a nice smoke, if your at 57% in the jar give it 3 or 4 days for the moisture in the centre of the buds to spread out through the jar if it doesn't rise you can stick a grape in there with a couple of pin pricks in it or a piece of lemon or orange peal leave in a couple of days or so and take out when RH is up to around 65%/66% then give it a few more days to see where it settles down to, good luck bro'.

cheers m8 i put a piece of carrot in the other day and they are at 66% now but one of them is a couple of % out i'm trying to figure out which one lol, even though they are 66% they still seem very dry but as Ice has mentioned in the past it may be because i'm used to dealers wet bud
cheers bud
