curing nug the right way?

[Tnelz]

Some Jack Herer that got away from me...ran a week or so long. Hoping this awesome freezer cure can bring back out that lemon cleaner/dead cat smell. I usually get nauseous trimming. Lol

I'd say it has a shot. However it doesn't actually reverse the process if u went a little far already. Would would Def help u is a 62% Bovida pack in a Mason jar. It will Def bring back that stickiness and some smell. The freezer is awesome but in this case not sure if it's right for what ur after. I'd go Bovida pack and then the freezer. May just work.

Copy, thanx man...I have looked but have not tried (Bovida), Mason is the preferred method of storage for sure. Appreciate the heads up, I guess I'll get a few.

Thanks for this thread. 1st post ever here. Been lurking. Never cured before, hope to in a couple months. Going to try some standard way and some in the freezer. Thanks for the ideas. May I ask, I see it here a lot and have never figured it out. Probably a very silly question. What does the TMB that so many end posts with stand for. SMH, it's probably super obvious too. Thanks.

Lol. It's cool brother. Tmb is Tree Mason Brotherhood. Not so obvious. Never worry about asking anything. It's what the farm is for. Ask ask and ask some more brother. Good luck and anything I can do for u just hit me up.

[burn4me]

alright so time has come. hasnt been 21 days but have to go to jar soon. so @Tnelz after the last day of the 1 hour thaw then what? i mean i know into the jar but do i still burp even using the Boveda packs? and if so how often. started a little a few days ago in smaller jar and it smells like cut grass. im trying to not do that with the big batch lol.

Once the buds are in jars do ur normal routine.

 

[burn4me]

Lol. Sorry. Jar burp a couple times a day and ur good. I would get the boveda packs bro. Really makes it mess up proof. Almost. Add a 62% boveda and burp once a day for the first week. Then take it out the second week and continue burping once a day.

 

[burn4me]

i got the packs brother. and have burped 1-2 a day. so i guess im on the right track then. just was worried because its been 3 days today for first little bit and like i said its a wet grass smell. thanks tho bro. just had to make sure.

Hey bro...if you've got a wet grass smell as you go into the cure, it's likely not going to get allot better. It should improve some, but not as much as you're hoping, I'm afraid. :( It sounds like they may have dried too warmly or too rapidly and not shed the chlorophyll it needed to lose. You want as slow a dry as you can get. I dry mine in a tent with a drying rack. It's much easier for me to control the environment inside the small tent. I keep my temps cool throughout the process. I find I get the best drys when it takes them 5-7 days before being dry enough to cure. What temps and RH are you drying in? Best, -Max

 

[burn4me]

my temps were at 70 and rh at 50%. i gave them 4 days drying then into freezer. and if i had an extra area for it i do agree slower would be better. and next time will dry even longer. and it stinks but the shit i jarred up earlier smells of grass but still weed. maybe its because ive never smelled fresh chopped herbs much that it smell so......homegrown.

I agree with Max. However I usually do the exact same thing u did burn with no issues since I started doing it that way. Hopefully all turns out well.

Best cure I've had so far was cut and hang the entire plant in the tent with just my recirculating fan running.Dried 5 days,remove most of the leaf,put back in tent for 2 more days,then jar/burp method.It smelled great and tasted fantastic.Gonna stick with that method just because it worked for me.Maybe try the freezer cure someday. :)

Hey bro. Isn't the method if u want it done quickly. But if u have the time and will power Lol it really rocks. Even trying it with one branch ya know. Really ends up awesome!

I'll definitely try it for sure! ;) Hell,I even tried the water cure method once,which was a bust IMO.
