So Im closing up on my grow. But I wont have the proper time to dry my buds before I have to move. It will be a 3 day trip to my new place. Would it cause any hard to jar the bud up for the trip and then resume the drying at my new place without any problems. Id let the buds air out in a open jar or lay them out during night in the hotel room and jar them again when I hit the road in the morning. Am i only worrying about mold doing this or would I see any quality loss?

if you are using soil dont water for a few days prior to your planned harvest.. that will actually help start to dry some.. if you have a week to dry then you should be okay... Atleats if you have dried for a week or close to it,most of the moisture will have been removed and lower the chances of mold while travel in jars... just for the 1st week or so that you put them into jars just burp them a little more often then you usually would and i think you will be good.

you should be ok, though it all depends how dry they get in that week. You may need to burp the jars more or less depending...

ya i usually give them their last watering a week prior to harvest and actually let my soil meter read completely dry

there are a few growers that i know of which actually dry and cure sort of simultaneously so I would imagine that it would be ok to harvest then put in jars.....just watch out for the mold problems.....
good luck

I think what you are going to to is the perfect recipe for curing properly - try and keep it cold. Remember to take them out every day though!
