Dry and Cure Cannabis

[StunnellowS]

Ive been growing for 3 years now with each batch better than the last. Learning to grow was extremely humbling for me, with catastrophic failures that made my eyes water and my hands sweat. I’ve dried my harvests with a deep freeze on controllers to keep it at 60 and 60. I drilled two 4” holes in the top of a chest freezer, and connected a 4” inline fan with a humidity control. That was a good size for a while, but then my harvests were full with no casualties and I needed more space. I staggered my harvests for a while, but recently ran all the same strain and harvested it all at once. I needed more space so I piped the deepfreezer to a 2x 4 tent. I was able to fit 4 juicy Fugue State in the tent. At 60 and 60 it takes 7-10 days before it smokes, and 14 days before its ready for jars. I don’t burp the jars. My cures are gorgeous and it keeps the terpenes in tact. I recommend this method. Out shopping with the wife. Will post photos when I het home.

A proper dry really needs no “cure”. Correct. 3 days to a week in the jar to allow equalization of moisture is beneficial after drying correctly.

I connected a deep-freezer to a grow tent with an inline fan, humidifier, and some controls. Its awesome. Ive been drying this way for 3 years now. The 2x4 tent will fit fourplants, and the deep-freeze fits one. A small fan at the bottom of the tent gently keeps air circulating, same as the inline fan, and ductwork between the deep-freeze and tent. I still have to check it daily, but it generally balances on it’s own. The deep-freeze hardly runs since it stays around 60 degrees anyhow. Humidity is sort of the same, but controlled by a fan and parameters. I couldn’t upload any photos yet.
