Yarra I would like to apologize. I concededly backflip on what I said. So I looked up for myself. I gotta hand it to ya, you’re right on the money. Found over a dozen papers that have made me question why slow curing ever became the norm at all. I was dead certain you were wrong but you clearly did your homework. To be honest I didn’t even read your thread properly the first time, I just looked at the bottom couple of paragraphs so shame on me for calling shit on ya. So now seriously considering changing my whole drying setup. Years of refinement wasted on doctrine and I never thought twice to question it. PHaarrrrkkkkk!!!! Back to lurking for me…
I think most peeps just had a different interpretation of "crumbly weed".
That was a very well thought out description and critique! Thx ethnomanWell i think the first problem was Y's description,.....talking about leaving 10-15% moisture as if it were too much, seems like an odd place to start. I'm a huge fan of peer reviewed research, but you have offered no link and no specific reference to a specific review, so please understand that you left it up to each of us to review what you wrote ( and many found 'issues' whth how you presented this information ).
Its easy to get what you want to say lost in the mix. especially around a forum with a thousand different styles of sharing going on, but if you offer the link or easy reference points to a specific reviewed paper ( like the origional author, when the research was done, University or other research facility involved ) your going to get a lot less flack and a lot more traction,......might even start a conversation that enlightenes all participants, but that can't really happen if you leave us to do the research, that you claim to already have done but have failed to share.
Being that there is a ton of information shared here you have to expect being exposed to a certain level of 'Filter' . more than a few of us have a 'dismiss button' mentality when the info is poorly worded, unclear and sounds like conjecture (this happens when you offer no link or research info) when this happens your post is gonna get sent down the poop shoot or your gonna have to spend an inordinate amount of time to defend your post,.......why not go FTW?
Also just looking this over prior to posting i see that the problem might be how you titled your post, See your setting up a debate because you offered no 'proof' . If you had posted a technique, it could be discussed but you posted a ' judgement based value assertion ' without any back~up,.....just another $.02
Flash cured for taste ....yeah ok fine, sounds great! ... but sell that **** to the masses.
Give me my slow dried and cured for "effect" any day over a flavor.
I want medicated in ways that only a slow dried and cured flower gives me.
When science meets science it will be said that for medicinal quality or those finer nuances of a great high , slow cure wins. Im not really caring how pretty it is if effect is proper.
This is just my uneducated mostly medicated opinion.

I read it twice .. And every reply.Either you didn't read or didn't understand the OP. The entire point, as I understand it, is that a snap dry process preserves maximum cannabinoid content, resulting in buds of higher medicinal quality. This is because it arrests oxidative processes as quickly as possible. Same reasoning I store in CO2 & vacuum sealed bags.
I'm trying not to overthink it either. I'm hoping for the best. So we chopped this past week and instead of setting the dehu @ 85% and reducing it by 5% each day, we set it to 45%. That's as low as it'll go. It heats up the room to 87f. The door isn't opened and the room is a pine box only 200cuft. It should dry a few days faster, the warehouse sits around 55% average. Afternoons are dry but nights get moist as it's coastal LA. I figure once they're crispy well leave the door open for a night and trim the following day.Don't overthink it pie! You know what you are doing already. Just speed up the cure. Knock a few days off by using the dehu. Increasing the temps are not gonna help you. The last thing u want is to increase any chance of mold growth. That is why I started using dehu's in the first place becsuse I wanted to get rid of high humidity and my weed judt wouldnt dry. I battle rediculous humidity everday because of the heat and thunderstorms..........
