Drying conditions?

[jggoslin]

Hi everyone,

Specifically, I was advised that during CURE (after the dry time) you should cure your medication in a relatively dark, relatively cool area. However, I have never found anything listed for the DRY of marijuana (the first dry process, not the cure after the dry). Do you need to dry marijuana in a dark area? Or can you do it in an area where there is a (minimal?) amount of light?

Thanks, let me know.

Darker is better. Light tends to degrade the actual THC over time. To what extent though i am not sure.

Yes, darker the better.. and cooler helps to keep it a slow dry. I usually try to dry 68f-72f and have the dehuey set to 65%

there are so many options when it comes to drying and curing. i like the dry rack look em up they are nice then from there to a jar. dry rack for maybe few days to a week then jar until its ready.

IME, hanging them up in a relatively dark area with a bit of airflow works well.

I use the ones Like the black in this post

They completely zip up so they keep some larger bugs out.

The cool thing is they make a scale that hooks to the hanger loop so you can weight it all dry/wet pretty easily.
I guess how much they hold depends on the buds.
I filled my shelves up on 2 with about .4 lb in each rack but many small buds.
