It may be in my head only but I think when I jar up buds and the humidity drifts up to mid/high 60s and I dump them to a tray for 10/15 minutes and re-jar they seem to become more flavorful. My stoner theory is that a few cycles of doing this allows the internal moisture and flavor to get pulled throughout the bud more effectively.
So maybe it's not just my imagination, I just feel like letting it dry so much that the humidity doesn't spike a little doesn't give the same tastiness. I have 2 jars right now that have gone to 67/68 RH and each 12 hours or so I've aired them a bit. They're both now down around 64 at day 4 of curing, maybe another two cycles of dumping/re-jarring will bring them to the 62RH sweet spot.Almost right. There are bacteria inside the flowers that continue eating chlorophyll until there is no moisture left. When we open the jar the grassy or amonia like smell is the gasses releasing from the action of the bacteria. After it dissipates the smell of the flowers terpenes comes through. If done gradually the flower smell should come out more and more.

Hey where you get that dryer tried Amazon and ebay but couldn't see anything?I can't wait until one of mine is completed. I was astonished at how decent that bud was after only 36 hrs in the dryer. Yesterday, I added the additional trays and began drying a Sherbet plant..Aromas are insane in that closet!
I got it from the site below:Hey where you get that dryer tried Amazon and ebay but couldn't see anything?
If you do..I suggest getting the expansion trays as well.Sweet might have to pick up one o them
They seem to shipm overseas, but if interested, I would ask about your electrical requirements. Ours is 120Volts AC.I see, did have look at site but as I'm in uk not sure how much would cost to post it here, perhaps can get similar here just not put much effort into search yet, will cross that bridge definitely maybe....
Here's what I do...they come out great but I am sure I can do better. I chop the stems so I can hang them from something. After 3 days I trim everything keeping it on it's main stem. I hang them again for another at least 2 days all the way to 4-5 days. ( Bud size makes the difference ) After they feel dry but are spongy I chop them off the main stem and jar them up. Everyday 3 times a day I burp the jars for a good 15-20 minutes making sure I move all the buds too. I have even left them open for an hour at a time. After about a week, if they feel right to me, where most of the moisture is gone but not all, I then burp once a day for a week. By now, I pop in the Integra packs and let them sit for a couple days at a time to check on them. After another week they are good to go to sit without being opened all the time. I normally like to cure for at least 30 days after going into jars. Buds have always turned out fine for me. I don't mess with temps or humidity. I literally hang the bud on string from nails in my bedroom walls.
I never said what I did was best. Just saying what I do and even looking for pointers. I have had zero complaints on my cured bud. I am a more of a let it cure for at least a good 3 months to really have a smooth smoke. I am still curing from a harvest in November as well.Uhh.. you have like 2 harvest under your belt? Maybe sit this one out lol.
No..I selectively pollinate a branch.Hey buzzer, what you meaning by planned for seed, did you pollinate whole plant or??
