curing

Hey guys, I've run into a bit of a problem. I've finally reached that beautiful day of harvest two days ago. The problem is I'm going on vacation in two days for about a week. I thought it would be fine because it will just hang dry while im gone. But its pretty warm in my apartment, I don't...

The most important week of your grow may very well the last, when they're not even growing. Far too many times has my tight living schedule interfered with arguably the most critical and sensitive process of quality cannabis. My main problem? Colorado is consistently low in humidity. My first...

Do you put the threaded jar ring on every time you close the jars Or do you just sit the rubberized inner lid on them, and that cover will provide an adequate seal between burpings?

OK, so I have a question for all you guys -- curing -- what does it really do? Now I've only been on this forum for a few months, and have been growing self-taught for about 2.5 years now. One thing I really like about this forum is it seems to be free from a lot of the bad advice that get...

New grower here. I’ve done pretty well with my first grow. I’m using a grow tent with a 600w LED light. Venilated, small fan constantly moving the air inside, and the temp is set between 75-80 with RH floating around 60-65 for the final veg state. I ran into a temperature shock at one point but...

I want to start out by saying this is my first time growing , I’m new to this whole process and I don’t have special equipment. I recently had to trim the top half of some of my plants (they weren’t all the way ripe yet), due to spider mites rotting out some of the buds. (Grown outside- in pots...

Howdy all! So in Oct last year we were hit head on in the Rocky Mnts of Colorado, broke my back, put us out of things for a while and we came to FL to heal up as shivering with broken vertebrae REALLY hurts! lol That said, we're healed up enough to take our settlement $ and get the hell out of...

Hello RIU! I go by 413MedGrower, and I've had a couple issues with drying/curing process, so I'll start from the beginning. To start my setup is as follows: 1000watt ballast Air Cooled XXL hood 4x4 tent with 6 inch exhaust fan, 6 inch fan for light 3-4 hygrometers through out tent A couple of...

I chopped my second crop about 2 weeks ago. After maticulously researching it, I began the process of drying. After hanging upside down for between 5 to 7 days, they felt ready to be jarred. They have now been curing in jars for about a week now, however, I just tried some from different jars...

I've been looking for something that I could get that could be used not just to ensure a proper cure but also be able to monitor the situation as it unfolds. Up on till the other day everything I came across was intended for lab use and had a price to match. I had switched from broveda packs to...

Hello lovely people anyway how do i tell if my buds are dry enough for a good cure? I've been told they're good when the stem.makes a crack sound then told don't wait for that moment Other way is just to feel the buds and if they makes a crisp crunchy sound when squeezed they're good, just...

Hi I started drying my first grow 2018-01-03, the day after i got so sick badly.. 39c/102f fever. Had to go to the hospital. I got back the 5th was super sick, and i just sleep't the weekend of. I waited to watch my grow on the Sunday. Everything in the tent, was dry as fuck. my humanity had...

have been drying my buds for about 10 days now, after 2 small test harvests each of them have ended up smelling like sweet hay. all of em have ended in that way because i feel like i didnt give my buds enough dry time would jar with stem too flimsy, this time im waiting till they crack no matter...

can someone please give me a viable reason why my buds keep losing their smell im gonna include all my drying info and maybe you could posibbly point out in what part of my process is causing my buds to not have that aroma. i dry in a small grow tent with about 60F with about a 55% humidity, i...

just wanted to know what i could possibly do to lower the rh in my jar to get my buds in the “cure zone” ive been burping it alot, no luck in getting it into that steady 60-65% area everytime i leave the jar closed the temp rises pretty quickly to about 69-71RH% i added these boveda packs but no...

dried them till the stems snapped, trimmed and then threw in a jar burped and everything and for some reason they never aquired their outside dank smell but when you break up the nugs they leave a really nice smell on your fingers. somethinf i did wrong?? i dried over a period of 6 days and the...

Ok bear with me. First grow. I'm wondering how super dense buds at harvest could change to a bit airy a few days into drying. Drying is at @ 60%RH 65F, no fans. At this point they feel fairly loose in comparison to commercial medical nugs. My plant squeezing during flower (is that a...

We weren't sure if this should be here or over at the Harvest & Curing forum. Anyways here's our [current] problem. We let our buds hang dry for around 4-5 days. The non-sugar fan leaf was removed before the hanging. When the buds were removed at around day 4-5 the outer leaves felt crunchy and...
