What do I need for drying/curing?

Budclarkson · Apr 25, 2023

Got a 2nd tent coming. What do I need for drying in the tent?

Sounds like ventilation and controller to keep at 60F/60RH?

Have multiple auto strains including a CBD med plant. How best to keep these all separate?

What container options to cure? What are the curing conditions - dark, temps? Sounds like I need to tend these daily.

Try labeling the plants to keep them separate.

I'm old fashioned about curing -- I keep them in jars. But Grove Bags seem to be all the rage with the cool kids.

Grove bags >>> unless you don't have much buds
and you don't need ventilation I throw mine in a closet with the door cracked open with a tiny oscillating fan outside of the closet pushing a tiny bit of air around

Jars are great until you drop one. Since that happened to me, I switched to Grove bags. At least if I drop a Grove bag, I'm not cleaning up weed mixed with shattered glass.

I’m currently smoking some weed with a dash of shattered mason jar in it. I think I got most of it out. The water in the bong hopefully will collect the rest.

Fortunately, I think in your case it would take a lot of huffing and puffing to get a shard of glass through your rig ...

Jars - break if you drop, and you will. Are recyclable. Last forever, if you don't drop. You must burp them for the first couple weeks . To regulate humidity you burp if to high or use something to lower the humidity. You can add a pack to regulate\raise the humidity, but not needed.

Grove bags - does not last like a jar. Don't break. Do not need burping. Maintains the humidity, unless to low. No need to burp!:)

Always dark and cool and good humidity.

Why would mason jars require burping and grove Mylar bags not?

What temp and humidity do you store the grove bags in?

How much can you fit?

Because their's special layers that let the gas escape

I'm not sure but you're going to want a heat sealer
How much can you fit?

Are you cutting from the bottom of the stock and hanging the whole plant?

I was thinking would cut off branches with colas to dry…

Can I cut and place on a drying rack like this and hang in the tent with proper ventilation and temp/humidity?

I hang mine by branches when needed otherwise i'll hang the whole plant have cutting the largest fan leaves

and mesh drying racks are fine but your buds will come out flat most likely because of gravity

I usually hang the whole plant, but I've done it branch by branch, too. There is no single way to do it. If hanging a whole plant is impractical or the air circulation will suck, do it another way.

Yes, you can hang to dry in a tent and keep the exhaust fan going.
