Thanks for getting back with me on this. It definitely will help me out. I have had a couple of grows and seem to be doing okay with the drying and curing but it seems like mine dries out a lot faster than most people are saying (that’s before I bag it and start curing). Someone told me to get a dehumidifier and set it to 40 but I think that is too dry cause mine was dry in just a few days. Not sure what the best humidity is for the drying process. I’m starting to think that about 60 to 70% might be a good place to start. I’ve read that most people have it hanging for about 7 to 10 days before its ready to start curing. To cure I have been just bagging and then putting in a jar and then opening and airing for a few days until it seems right.The food saver idea sound like a good one. I just want to be able to get as good of flavor and smell as I can get. Not to say that my buds weren’t tasty but I think I can do better.
I’m late to the party but I have a foodsaver with a jar attachment does a great job
I just had delivered a new hose attachment because I broke the old one, three bucks with free shipping! …great company at foodsaver.com
I’m sure that’s what I’ll end up getting. I think the little one has less power as well. In fact, It wasn’t designed to do lids but the hose fits. It was meant for the bags.
Hey Matthew how was your first day being legal? LOL
Pretty high, how about you? lol
Pretty much the same I don’t want to step on this thread so I’m going to leave this link and then step out you gotta check this out it’s amazing
Looks yummy
I do mine in the jar in a bag I have a foodsaver that don’t take the jar connection But it still works great
That is so awesome love the pictures man
@DineyB my humidity is around 20% and it’s taking anywhere from 3 to 7 days for me to drive as well depending if I do it branch by branch or if I hang the whole plant and then do it branch by branch after I do a major trim of the whole plant For 3-5 days then depending on how wet it is still his trim my branches up and hang them for a couple more days to make sure the kind of crunchy I don’t like my stems to snap I don’t like it but dry But since I let it out of the jar and out of the bag because I take a ball jar filled up lid on it sucked they’re out of it through a bag five to seven days to cure what do you I had asked because I had the food saver setting around for over a decade And when I started the question on this I was shocked and by golly it works great that was the hillbilly in me for all you city guys lol
@garrigan62 will I was wondering if you could answer question for me about my extra seats I have them separated in film containers in the basement which is about 65 all year in the dark how long do you think that will last before I need to refrigerate them thanks hog ( for anyone who wants to chime in and knows the answer normally don’t keep them over the winter time because I normally don’t indoor grow but now that I do thanks everyone else )
@Paranorman you got a bud to enter this month
No, I have no ilgm plants growing right now
Thanks for the info. I am def going to try this.
Have only been using these 4 days now and they are working out great for me starting to get that stinky stank smell fired up already figure about probably 10 days total for the vacuum cure .
Put a half gallon milk jug by them for size contrast
Oldstoner im jealous of them jars
Who makes those @Oldstoner
If you already said sorry for making answer again
@Countryboyjvd1971 a company called home above I got them on amazon they are actually doing a pretty good job . Did one just sealed not vacuumed and it still smells like hay where the ones under vacuum are getting stinky and I put the other one under . I like them and when it is all the way cured I will stick it in Mason jars and toss a Bovida 62 in for long term storage . Was going to use these but not sure about bovida packs vacuum sealed
Nice I’ll look them up on Amazon then thanks
I’ve never used the packs so I can’t help you there
I have a food sealer but my model can’t do the jars so this looks like a good option
very cool
Just put the jars inside of the bags and vacuume that way but. I believe that’s how @Soilgrowth does it cause he doesn’t have a jar attachment.
