Thanks. 45N eastern Ontario between Ottawa and Montreal. Farming country.Gour
Beautiful land part of the country if you don’t mind me asking? Roughly
Very true. I find a looser Sativa bud structure needs a slow cure, and it's hard because they dry so fast.Well any volume automated system could never dry and cure weed as well as an experienced grower burping a few jars as needed. Its always a compromise. The buds dont all need the same treatment just like each plant can be a little different.
With volume the time needed will always reduce quality some. Its always give and take with everything. More or less. :-)
I waannnnaa know how! Imma have to research the hell out of it!Nobody trying the sublimation method?? Keeps the DANK, DANK! !
It's good for small amounts. Like one, maybe two plants.I waannnnaa know how! Imma have to research the hell out of it!
Hey bud, got any pics of that Swazi. I brought a few beans back from a recent trip to the eastern cape. Im planning on trying a couple outside in pots at 40°N next month. Wondering what i might end up with. How were your swazi nugs?Thanks. 45N eastern Ontario between Ottawa and Montreal. Farming country.
The weather last year was terrible for growing outdoor. Long cold spring, short cool summer with cold rains, and a fast cold fall. I had some Swazi in the ground and was a little nervous about it. I harvested it mid November after several freezing nights. Fan leaves took a beating, but the buds were unharmed (and small).
Very helpful, thanks for your input!Why would you freeze dry your weed? only if you plan on keeping your bud in a freezer? selling it next year?
Just got too much weed and a lot of dry ice?
The taste is not as fresh...can't get any better than fresh! freezing it...no longer fresh hmmm?
I know, I know...it was freshly frozen! nyet! freezing changes your buds original FRESH make up of turpines and such.
not worth the cost of ice, not enough Tupperware... freezer space...
Yes it works... but not seeing the why...
imo slow cure is best, even over the sublimation...
slow cure...that is after your hang dry (then I do a paper bag pre cure) then jar up. burp...burp...smoke. its simple... and free of cost and time.
I've done the water cure also...bleah! a waste also...
Just throwing branches in the corner of the garden and let the sun and air dry em, beat them over a screen and have the best fresh hash ever. it worked for thousands of years that way, and still does.
keep it simple
keep it fresh
not to argue on which is best for who...if it works for you, by all means keeper going.
just throwing my two cents in cuz that's what this sites for.
and throwing out the many ways of drying and curing is good for all.
and the only DANK that is DANK is the DANK that's FRESH and not FROZEN....da dank dank..lol
luv getting blaze on tapping words...
:)
xactly.I dont believe hurting or overstressing the plant increases potency.
But i do agree with keeping humidity up (but not over 60% to avoid mold) to make drying time longer is good. Longer the dry time better tasting and smoother the weed.
As long as it wasnt over nuted. Which is the main reason for all the bad smell or harsh taste or grassy type complaints.
Are you needing to hang dry for that long? I'm in a semi-arid climate... I hang for 3 days, trim and dry in the rack for about 12 hours before jarring it all. 24 hours after jarring my humidity is at about 64%. Good enough to cure.So it might be a seriously nude thing to do, but I’ve been hanging for near on 18-25 days. Then to jars that I burp a few times each day, or every other if I forget. I’m curious about the reasoning behind the paper bag methodology, does the paper pull more humidity out of the flower?
Get bigger jars lol ;)That's the way to do it. But my problem is having to stay home (no such a big deal with flu and self isolation. lol) and doing 4 dozen jars eeeeevery siiiiiiingle daaaaaay. So I automated it :)

If I hung for 25 days I'd have a couple pounds of high grade pot dust. ;)
Nice jar and buds. What is it?Get bigger jars lol ;)
Sorry. missed your post.Hey bud, got any pics of that Swazi. I brought a few beans back from a recent trip to the eastern cape. Im planning on trying a couple outside in pots at 40°N next month. Wondering what i might end up with. How were your swazi nugs?
Are you pumping in fresh air? Or vacuum out the stale air? Pulling new in.Nice jar and buds. What is it?
I had 1000 plants last year. 400 open pollinated (started with 800). For flower I'd need about 100 of those big jars. I use pails. But that's not the point really. It's the freedom. I cure for about 4 weeks. Sometimes 5. I just don't have to to stick around for it. The real nice aromas don't surface until the 3rd week anyway so I'm not missing anything.
This is what I use.

I've set up a couple people with buckets, but most people get this one.

Tight or loose nugs, the cure is *always perfect. If you've ever cured perfectly, you know the aroma I'm talking about.
People buy by the look, and a little by the smell. This flips it around. They'll buy because of how it smells first, then the look.
I give away about 20 pound bags to family and friends at christmas time. Perfect timing and makes a great gift :) Now I always suggest they put it in big jars, and take from a small one they refill. If you keep opening a big jar with your stash, it'll be dry as shit by the time you finish the jar. By that time you have to start throwing orange peel in the jar to rehydrate it (*gag). Then it's only a memory of what it use to be.
Having said all that, I'm a huge fan of THC coconut oil in capsules. Keeps me high for 4-5 hours. It also lets me sleep like a 15 year old again. You know when you wake up in the morning with drool on your pillow, your hair all fucked up and your eyes like slits? Ya... like that. lol
Peace.
