Ok i need good drying techniques i have one lady that made it through the summer outdoor grow ( it gets hot down south ) and im new to it ) so anyways i was looking for good drying techniques. I dont want any links and i dont wanna read much. I've played it by ear this far and id just like some tips . thx.
after you manicure the buds, put them in paper bag. Then each day gentl stir them with your hand to re-arange the buds. The ones closest to the sides of the bag will dry faster than the ones in the middle and by stiring you'll get a nice even dry. Depending on the humidity it could take 5 days or more. Have you learned anything about curing?
no i havent learned anything besides. whats Male. Female. And the constant care you have to give your outdoor grow dureing the early stages. Fertalize indoors then transplant outdoors and keep a close eye on your plants. Once they get going (sexed) though its pretty easy. Once a week water. Of course i am just starteing out, this is my first semi succesful growth. First summer season of me trying so. thx for the tip.
Well, curing is pretty simple, once the buds are most dry enough to smoke, you take them out of the paper bag and put them in a sealable glass jar. ya open the jar for bout 10 mins a day and check on the smell and to let some air change out, do that for a couple weeks and then it's cured. Curing it makes the smoke a lot more smooth and makes it so the buds only get better with age.
Proper curing is really slow drying. Dry them SLOWLY- pushing the edge of mildew. A month to 6 weeks. Or just leave them in a dark wooden drawer for 10 days- two weeks, if you just what decent smoke. But if you have the patients, cure them slowly- it's worth it. IF-
Curing IS NOT slow drying, it's a form of decomposition. During a cure chemical changes take place. Chlrophyll breaks down, non-psycho-active alkaloids convert into psychoactive ones and sugars are converted to name 3.
