Ideally, you want to dry and cure in a mild temp and humidity. I would shoot for 72* and 60% humidity.
72 is kinda high don’t you think?Ideally, you want to dry and cure in a mild temp and humidity. I would shoot for 72* and 60% humidity.
Just so you understand the mechanics behind it all. What you're trying to do is to draw the moisture out of the middle of the flower without overdrying the outer portion of the flower so that you can safely smoke it without it getting moldy after awhile. It also helps in how it burns. This requires a slow process. When you are in the drying portion of the process you'll notice the outside of the flower getting crunchy and dry but when you put them in the jar the outside will be wet again the next day. This is because the outer dryness is pulling the moisture from within so don't get too alarmed if the outside of the flower seems to dry. You certainly don't want to overdry but, again, you've done it already so you have an idea of what is too dry. You can err on the side of caution and jar while they're slightly still wet so that you don't overdry. You'll need to be vigilant in the beginning so that the moisture doesn't create any mold but after a week or so they should be sufficiently dry that you don't have to monitor them as much and you can let them cure burping the jar once a day or however much it needs to SLOWLY dry and cure your flower.
Once again.....patience.
Starting to notice a particular word that keeps popping up?!?
okay, so when you’re drying do you just hang the whole plant or is it best to spread it out and hang multiple?Ideally, you want to dry and cure in a mild temp and humidity. I would shoot for 72* and 60% humidity.

It is but most people don't have the environment to be able to sustain that type of temperature.
Yes, yes and yes.
probably has alreadyIt is but most people don't have the environment to be able to sustain that type of temperature.
Plus he's somewhat new to this. He's gonna wanna test it!!!
okay so instead of cutting the whole thing down then the leaves you would cut the leaves the the stem?
and did what already? lol
i’m confused lol
tried some of your bud already?
oh lol no not yet , i didn’t know i could actually do it now
Yeah im not helpful with that, still working on perfecting it. My temp is always to high, like 72, sometimes higher. I need to get it to 58-60 but my wife gets pissy and yells cause "its to fucking cold!"
fkn southerners...
everybody kinda does it different..i’m confused lol
You can but, again, up to you. I do it that way more out of habit as that was the way I was taught but it does tend to stay wet a little longer than if I break it down off the main stem before I hang it. I do it this way also because I've gotten pretty good at it after all this time so I can spot when something is going south quickly and correct course. For you it would be advisable to break it down off the main stem and hang the individual branches so that you reduce the chances of mold.
i hate the cold and love the heat..Yeah im not helpful with that, still working on perfecting it. My temp is always to high, like 72, sometimes higher. I need to get it to 58-60 but my wife gets pissy and yells cause "its to fucking cold!"
So sometimes i can get away with 68 but she still complains
I have the same problem......Yeah im not helpful with that, still working on perfecting it. My temp is always to high, like 72, sometimes higher. I need to get it to 58-60 but my wife gets pissy and yells cause "its to fucking cold!"

I feel for you...I have the same problem......
For sure. You're lucky. I wish I had a nice cool basement I could store all the excess product but then again, when it comes to weed ain't no excess happening around here!!!
