How Can I Tell When My Buds Are Dry Enough To be Cured?

when the stem bends and doesn't snap, if it snaps they are prolly too dry already.

Is there any other way too tell besides the stems? What happens if you trimmed off all the stems and have it placed in a big net?

squeeze it. depending on the humidity(40-50%) it takes about 5 days of drying

if they feel crispy and crunchy they are too dry.

unless you have a shit load in that closet they are not going to affect the humidity much. give them 5 to 7 days and squeeze them.

I do though. I have about 6 ounce in the closet! But I will go with your suggestion!

it would take 2 lbs to change the humidity in a closet. when the smaller popcorn buds feel cripsy jar them up and the larger buds will re-hydrate them. just wait about about 5 day to be sure.

Ok. Will Do that!

might be done in 4 days since u cut all the stems off...either way, good luck

I read something in a magazine (a review about a strain) and the cure time was something like 6 or 8 weeks. They did note though that they "Were glad they let it cure longer." Whats up with that?

Two things. How was it not too dry? Is that why the bud looked like it got dropped in a keef dish?

Thanks guys.

drying and curing are two different things. longer the cure the better

Go with your gut and trust the force. It's not good to trim before you dry. Affects taste and high of final product.
