  1. i have dried buds in cupboard in darkness. have moved them to jars around 62 rh. just wondering if they still have to be in darkness?

  2. Darkness is really best, but out of direct light should be fine too.

  4. Since you asked this I would like to ask for expansion on this topic. How do most of you cure your bud?

  5. I just put them in one of the old pickle glass jars and stash it deep in my cupboard. Open it for 10 minutes at least once a day. Also open it for taking out those pop corn buds for a smoke every now and then. Lol.

  6. i have stuck mine in cupboard too but it gets a bit hot in there was thinking of taking the jars outside in shade but think it might be too bright. I did have a cheeky tester last night too and was impressed lol especially considering its supposed to be 40% more potent when cured... does curing really make it that much better? cant wait to try it in few weeks

  7. There was this auto jack herer I grew and cured for 2 weeks. And started smoking it after. I accidentally cured a bud for 2 months as I had forgotten all about it. One day I found it, again accidentally, and smoked it. I was literally blown away.

  9. do you use humidi packs?

  10. THC degrades in sunlight. Which is why we harvest during or immediately after the dark period.
     
  11. Naaah. Just a jar with air lock and open it move or twice a day to let the air in. That's About it. But you can read more or ask more about it to people who do use those humidity packs

  13. Two things will degrade THC - light and air. Keeping them in a dark cool place and in air-tight jars is a must.

  15. Perfect. I only do one grow a year because it's just for personal use and the quality is just as good after 12 months as it was at 2 months.
