Curing help please!

Alright so this is a weird one ive only dryed bud before. But no this year i did an out side grow and i want to cure it.

Thing is where i live the winter comes fast and outside was very very very dumb. (fuck frost) the frost hit them twice and they were staring to get stressed the fuck out and i was afraid if it hit them again it would kill. So i started cutting and i would say if i had it my way they would get 3 more weeks min.

So my question is how should i go about curing?

I have them them drying in a dark place with very good airflow but the temps are kinda low:/(55-65)

how dry should i let them get before curing? (sooner the better because of better temps and less smell)

Any ways just tell me your opinion!

Any help ?

I would let them hang dry till the outside of the buds are dry, 5-10 days seems the norm. The stems will have a little bend left in them, they wont snap yet. Then put them in glass jars. Open the jars to air them out for 15-30min 2 or 3 times a day for the first week. Then cut back on the burping to 1 or 2 times a day for the second week. 1 time a day for the third week. After that maybe once a week just check them to make sure they are not getting mold.

get a tote and fishing line and hang them in the tote and air them several times then when the stems can just snap put them in a glass jar in the light.

I do the same...hang untill stem bends B4 snapping, then put in mason jars, open 2-3 times a day for 10-15 min. for 1st week, then 1 -2 times a day, I do this for 4 weeks or more. Towards the end I only open the jars every other day. Good luck
Peace
Dont fill jars more than 1/2 way

NEVER store your buds in the light. Light will degrade the THC.

Your smoke must be close to useless being stored in the light
and all......

yeah if you dried or and cured your harvest in a lighted area... your pretty much screwed man.

light degrades THC levels while drying/curing.

Dont put buds in Freezer either. I dont know why people say to do that. Freezing temps will degrade the thc. The brown paper bag method works great for me. I trim off all the leaves and manicure them right before hanging. Hang about 3 days with little air flowing around them, then brown paper bag them for about 5 days, then when their stems are a little bendable i'll put em into jars, just watch them daily and get that stale air out. You can put em the fridge though for 6 hours at a time then take em out and let him air out. good luck.
