What would the ideal ranges for temperature, humidity and time be for an optimal dry? What about the same for cure? I'm lookin' to dry as slow as possible and ill probably cut off individual branches, hang with leaves and dry and trim leaves before cure. Can anyone chime in? I live out in BFE and I'm paranoid I'm gonna fuck this up. I can't dry inside and its getting colder and less stable outdoors as time progresses. Thanks, Blades.
I feel ya man. I live out in the middle of nowhere as well. Resources are slim so you just kinda have to work with what ya got. . Ok the pros say that the optimal temp/humidity are 58*F/55-60%. However ,you dont have to keep it that technical. .Really as long as the temp isn't above 100*F you'll be fine. . The humidity can be an issue since fall is here. If you can feel the moisture in the room its too much. Do you have a hygrometer? . The time depends on the density of the buds. Usually it takes around 7-10days before its ready to cure. You were talking about the longest cure option. In my opinion the best way to cure is by mason jar. I will post a thread on curing through mason. The curing process takes anywhere from 1wk to 1yr. The cure is done through a process called burping the jar. I also have a thread on here about Water Curing. You should check it out and maybe water cure a couple grams for you first harvest. It's simple. Hope I helped ya bro. Lemme know.
