Harvested, and now curing

[Mgms]

Well, after drying my one girl for two weeks I’m now in the curing stage for 3 weeks. This was on Golden Leaf auto flower that was just under 4 feet tall. I got the majority of the leaves off of it, but those small ones by the buds are tough so I have a little more trimming to go. Overall, I am extremely pleased with the yield. I know I’ve got at least 3 weeks of curing to go, but I did have a little sample last night & it did not disappoint.

Okay I’m kinda old school on the dry/ cure, what do you mean by cure. It won’t mold in the jars if not complete in drying

@Birdshot

I’m kinda old school on the dry/ cure

In 1980 we dried and smoked in a day or two.
Now we Jar at 65-70%RH then burp down to 63 and store for three months.
check often and burp if needed.

[Birdshot]

65-70% RH. What is RH. Sorry but I’m a little ignorant about this part. It’s going to be talking to me for 3 months when I do that. Your right about in the 80s. And the 70s.

[Birdshot]

I would like to get some literature on this part of the fun

[DEEPDIVERDAVE]

@Birdshot

65-70% RH. What is RH

Relative Humidity % (big numbers)
Temp (smaller numbers).

@Birdshot

And the 70s.

Never got a seed to grow in the 70’s.
80’s finally got lucky, until i didn’t.
10/2020 paroled and retired.
Legal now, imagine that.

[Birdshot]

Okay I see what you mean. I know the feeling I got out in 84. I will be getting a meter set up for that to get ahead of harvest

[Birdshot]

Is there any PDFs on “Curing and what it does

[DEEPDIVERDAVE]

Never new anything about “washing weed”
Learning new tricks for old dog, difficult, but works, this side of the dirt.

So much more than just seed, dirt, light, grow, dry and smoke.

[Birdshot]

Yea I would have never washed my harvest back in the past. I’m just trying to wrap my head around the 3 months of cure.

[DEEPDIVERDAVE]

The wash concept is interesting, who knew.

Pro- see the junk you dont’ want to smoke
Pro- softer curable weed
Pro- possible anti-microbial benefit.
Pro- drown the hitchhikers.
Con- Good weed should not need bath.
Con- Did I do it wrong?

@Birdshot

around the 3 months of cure.

I hope so, but storage becomes a potential problem.
Better than diesel barge stored-transported weed from the 70’s.

Damn brought back old memories, how about seabo. Of course seed’s came by the 100s Not cost a hundred
