f yall then :-|
Thanks..!~ :)
Paper bags right away speeds up that process too quick pardner. They should be hanging upside down somewhere in a lightly ventilated room. An oscilating fan or something like that. If you have a nice harvest man you dont want to mess it up in the drying and curing process, it took too long to get this far. If you rush it, the smoke will suffer for it.

Drying and curing are 2 different and necessary steps for bud storage. I use 16 x 25 x 1 inch furnace filters to dry my bud for 3-4 days. By then the moisture content is around 70% and they are ready for the jars. Sealing bud in a glass jar makes all the moisture still in the buds to spread out evenly among the bud. Otherwise you end up with small, crispy buds and large damp ones. So dry, cure for 24 hours and check. as long as your product is still too damp you keep drying for 24 and curing for 24 until your small branches do snap. Good luck, BigSteve.

I use Rumple's curing process and have for years and years now and it works to perfection.
I absolutely love his cure process and recommend it to anyone who is looking for a tried and true, tested way to cure.

Basically 72 hours hanging, 96 hours in brown bags, 30 days in jar, burping daily for the first week, twice a week for the 2nd week, and then randomly during the last 2 weeks.
