Tips to Help you Dry & Cure your Cannabis!

Great tips to help you dry and cure your juicy buds
Two things to first take note of.
There is a difference between drying and curing buds.
First you dry your buds, then you cure them, as we will explain further.
Second, drying your buds doesn’t mean putting them into a warm oven and drying them to a
fragile crisp, no.
Drying is more a case of reducing the moisture content but only so much.
If you ever use rolling tobacco you’ll know what we are talking about when you compare
smoking a rolling with tobacco from a newly opened pouch of tobacco to smoking one you
make with tobacco that was opened a month ago and that’s now as dry as a dead dingo’s
whatsit!
The first is a smooth smoke, the second is harsh as hell and makes you want to cough your
lungs up!
So, let’s talk about drying your buds.
You can do this by drying them while still on the branch, or you can trim them first and dry
them on a rack, remembering to turn them frequently to stop them flattening out.
We recommend trimming your buds first as once dry, they are more fragile and prone to
shedding when messed around with.
Drying should take about 7-10 days depending on the environment, which is ideally around
45-55% humidity as you only want to reduce the moisture content by roughly 15%.
Once dry and you have trimmed buds, you want to fill a mason jar or other wide-necked jar
three-quarters full to allow air to circulate.
For the first couple of days open the jar and check that there is no sign of mould. Allow the air
to change and then seal the jar back up, keeping the humidity level around 62%
After a couple of days, this ritual only needs to be performed once daily, for a minimum
period of two weeks, after which your buds are smokable, but we recommend you wait a bit
longer if you can in order to maximise the flavour and smoothness of the smoke.
In a perfect world you will be looking at buds that have taken eight weeks to cure and inside
the jar keeping the humidity level the same to stop the buds drying out completely.
Once cured, you can also consider popping humidity packs into your jars to stop any further
drying out of your weed.
Following that, all that’s really left is to sit back and enjoy. Let us know how you go about
curing your buds in the comment section below.

Old school here: after hang dry, put into brown paper bags, single layer, and put in dry, dark place to cure until the center stem snaps when folded. Been working for 36 years.

Here in California, most of us homegrowers seem to all do a dry trim these days. We used to trim "wet" back in the prohibition era because it was all about getting it processed ASAP. And "bag appeal". These days, after I "buck" the big fan leaves I'll hang the whole plant in my my old 2' x 2' grow tent with an inline fan (on low) exhausting it. My summer temps can be well over 100f but I aim for a steady 60% RH/60°f for a "long as possible" dry time. In my dry environment, its usually 10-12 days. When the stems are dry enough to snap, that's usually TOO dry, so I have to put them in tubs or jars when the buds feel a little crunchy on the outside, but still spongy. I then may need to burb my jars periodically during the first weeks of cure. A digital hydrometer inside the container helps tell me when I reach that 60% RH target. At that point I might add a Bovida pack to maintain that humidity. Store in a cool, dry, dark place! I'm not so concerned with appearance anymore ( I don't really sell it anymore) and I can take more time to dry it now. It's ALL about preserving the terps and trichomes instead. I try to do the least amount of handling of the flowers as i can during my process so as to not damage any trichomes. I'll typically even leave a few sugar leaves on my buds as a protective "bud blanket" (or "farmer's trim" as some call it). I don't mind having to trim a few leaves off as I break up the bud to roll a fatty! 😂 Speaking of which.... Cheers!!😶‍🌫️💨💨💨💨 ✌️💚🌲🌏☮️🕊

[@Max-dv1kq]

Man I do love a good farmers trim or blanket as you have called it makes the buds look even prettier and so natural!

[@jngazy526]

Love your story time. You notice a HUGE difference in the quality of your efforts when the job is dried and done to perfection. Yup ok, flash drying is convenient if you're in a rush and your passion is lost. But if U want 100%%% in the quality of your efforts , patients and passion HAS to be your best friend 💯🙌🏽❤️

[@toddburgess6792]

I have found an overall improvement in cured bud being frozen in the curing jars. Being careful when frozen, the flavor and potency are boosted over the same batch of buds that were stored with moisture packs in the jars and in a dark closet. When you're confident the curing is complete, pop them in the freezer. When in need, thaw overnight to avoid knocking frozen trichomes off, pick buds , then refreeze.

Never wet trim as a beginner or they dry too fast if u not able to maintain a stable environment for drying. Minimum 55% humidity not over 60%, Temp. 60F or 16-18 Celsius, and 14 -16 days. The slower the better

Make sure you dry and cure your buds in the dark. It’s very important or you can lose the potency of your buds

[@loisthehedgehog7658]

Yeah I just pulled down this tiny plant about 2 days ago now and have it hanging in my cupboard with a little fan rotating in there to keep the air circulating. I open the door ever so often to check the humidity as I have those mini hygrometers that tell me the humidity and it typically sits at about 59-62% humidity in the cupboard. I’m also gonna cure my bud in my mason jar in the dark cupboard aswell for a couple weeks at least.

[@YanakievKr]

​@@loisthehedgehog7658 I have a question,if you have to keep the process in full darkness ,how do you transfer the buds which are ready from the branches to the jars without emitting any light for vision?

[@violentnewworld]

I recommend fridge drying to anyone who hasn't tried it. Just try it with a couple buds. It's dries out way slower and the bud keeps it's shape, more size and looks way better. The dry is more even and traps the flavour inside. Just test them in a jar after 2 weeks, you can even finish the dry in the usual way if you are near enough the cure zone.

[@RealityEnterprise]

Can I smoke the bud if I dry in the fridge?

[@gizzardgizzard3583]

don't dry at 45-55% humidity. 60% RH and 60 degrees Fahrenheit will preserve the most flavor and terps slow and steady wins the race

It literally almost took a year for my weed I am smoking to finally be smokeable????? From seedling to smokeable. That is some craftsmanship. Hats off to you growers/trimmers/curers. I want to learn too

[@sinankurt7109]

lol no.. most of the sold weed never has been cured that long..

[@GenericSpace]

Why did it take you a year?! Did you grow outdoor or indoor with tons of L.S.T.? L.S.T. will make indoor take longer but outdoor is always going to take forever unless you grow Autos and those aren't my pref. If you're doing indoor and you don't want to mess with L.S.T. or wait forever, it might be a good idea to have a veg. room/tent and a flowering room/tent. That way you can "cycle" in a few plant every time you harvest one. Shouldn't be too much work to harvest a plant/month if you veg. in a 2'x2' and flower in a 2'x4'. Beats the !@#$ out of waiting a year.

[@NOT_SURE..]

drying buds, HA , i cant even get seedlings going, ive had a sh*t year , wind killed my first 3 plants , council workers found my second grow , police took my 3rd grow , 1 person ripped me off on ebay (no seeds arrived) and during all this my germination rate is about 10%, the only plants i have growing are the ones ive thrown out in the garden in rage , which have rooted.

[@chhuntley5616]

My advice is grow a vegetable crop in the best sun you can get ( corn , tomatoes etc ) start seedlings in pots and don't over water ,and get the bed ready over the cold months It very hard to get ripped off when they are hidden amongst the vegie garden. Remember when growing outdoors,you have good and bad season's Keeping the moisture in the soil is the secret mulch , plastic sheets etc. Good seed strain is essential . Growing is a good teacher and therapeutic for the soul. Keep going as I have some great memories over the years

Okay

[@BurninSven1]

Put in paper bags (the color or how many layers does not matter) you will notice when the stuff is dry no worries. When dry you decide if you want buds only or also some leafs. Put in glass jars for long time storage and gravity will make the stuff stronger the longer time that passes by. There is nothing that cures anything it is just gravity that makes the good stuff sink and build up the lower in the jar you come.

[@BurninSven1]

You do not want to burn it you want the vapors only if you can but if not smoke in a small ordinary pipe and smoke it in. If your stuff is any good the pipe will get smoked in pretty quick if it is a small pipe. If you cannot find a small pipe cut it down a bit. Steelwool will work as a stone so you do not have to waste the goodies and do small amounts, just a pinch will work supergood it is any good. If you can find a round little stone that fits yourvhole in the pipe use that. The size of the hole should be roughly max for two sipps. This is the most economical way, if you do not want the big clouds where you let 90 % go straight up in the air whith no good for you at all just exspensive=super low bang for the buck.

I’m basically a first time grower and that’s what I’m trying to look out for right now. I’ve got a small plant hanging in a dark cupboard with a fan in it and my humidity sits at an average of 60% in there. It’s a small plant and the bud structure ain’t that dense so I’m not really worried about any mold problems rn just trying to make sure it hangs for long enough. 2 weeks minimum for this one since it’s so tiny lol.
