This question may have been asked and answered and I'm sure it has but I don't trust google to search there. If I wanted to store bud and keep it fresh for say... Maybe a year, could I use a cigar humidor? Would that work or would it rot the bud?
i use a humidor to dry my buds, they wont rot, but chances are you will overdry your buds if you keep em in there for a year. i keep mine in there for a month after i cut them.
Thank you. Good to know. I was just wondering about those fancy electric ones that you can set the humidity on, or is that what you use? Maybe like 70% humidity or so?
ahhh, i just use an old school balsa one. in that case hell yeah go for it, i would keep the humidity right around 45 and just let her sit for a while. 70% imo will cause mold... but that's just me, i play it safe. my entire room cruises at like 35-40% humidity.
Ok thanks. I'm on my first grow so I've never cured any yet. I guess I'll test it out when my plants finish with maybe an eighth and see how long it stays fresh. I was thinking about freezing it but then some people told me as soon as you take it out it dries up fast. I appreciate the input.
if you don't mind me asking how much do you know about the drying/curing process? please don't take any offense to that if it sounds snooty, simply asking.
I only know what I've read online. Basically leave the plants in the dark for 3 to 4 days, cut your branches and hang them for about a week, and then store them in airtight jars and burp them every couple hours while checking how damp they are. I have zero experience with that though.
