Thanks foe the tag.. heres my few tips: keep a close eye cause the 60% "window" comes on fast,invest in some small hygrometers that will fit into a mason jar or whatever container you will cure in ,then burp often.. Bro,drying and curing is just like growing and its something we learn to do ,most of us have had a dry/cure learning curve.. Dont sweat the small stuff you'll do great!!

I did my first cure in January, I tried out two methods at the same time to see what I like better. Here is what I did:

I hung up the 6 main kolas for a week, and only trimmed 1/2 the sweet leaf from them, because it was low humidity, and they might have dryed slower that way.

I put all the fully trimmed buds on the plates in two large paper shopping bags, laid on the side and rolled closed, and the buds were laid out one bud depth across the inside of the bags.

After a week I trimmed up the kolas and checked both sets out real well and added them together. There was little to no difference between the two for smell or moisture content.

I now put them in large glass jars with air tight lids, and each jar got a hygrometer.

I was out of smoke, so I smoked it before the cure was settled, and it was very grassy. It took a full month in jars to get the proper taste. I also burped the jars whenever the humidity got up in them. It did end up taking longer for the untrimmed colas to taste right.


hope that helps. It's super easy, just a matter of waiting really.

Thanks for the tag @Autogrowzs

Like you, Ive just started to research for my first cure. I was leaning towards the paper bag method. I have a couple hydrometers and a good sized supply of 62% boveda packs.

I still have a week or two to research and try to figure out just where in the heck I can find brown paper bags nowadays.

Your girls are looking amazing btw. Here's a rep slap for ya brotha!
