OK, so they were fully dried yesterday, after 20 days. I smoked a joint with a buddy to sample it, and we forgot it wasn't cured. That initial harshness was gone. It will still need some curing, but it's definitely smokeable now. I'd put it about the same as a 2 week dry + 2 week cure...

Curing definitely is 'necessary' on the typical 2 week 60/60 dry that is 'recommended' by many, if you want the smoothest smoke possible. Some people like that burn in their throat, and coughing their lungs out (it absolutely adds to the high, I get it), but many, myself included do not, or at...

Well, in that unheated attic, it's been 12 days so far, and I'd estimate the plants to be about halfway dry. They are drying very uniformly. The tips of the leaves and the small buds are still not crisp. Still no mold. So far so good, and I think I'm past the 'dangerous' part. If it was...

I agree that curing is helpful, and I will absolutely cure this batch. I've been growing for 25 years though, and methods have improved greatly through the years, so I am not inclined to believe there isn't a better way yet to be discovered. The whole idea behind curing is to allow the plant...

There is air moving, and yes I've seen the countless threads on drying in freezers/refrigerators, but that's not the same at all because they both moderate the humidity. I don't think there's a way you could use either of those to produce the long dry I'm talking about. Of course I'm keeping...

I was wondering what everyone's thoughts were on drying at lower temperatures and higher humidity to extend the drying time. I read a few places that mold can't grow at less than 60 degrees, and I can't find anything 'reputable' that says otherwise. I'm wondering if drying a plant with smaller...
