Harvest & Curing Drying in a brown bag

[oldcoot]

Well once im sure im below 70 % in my jars , i just burp once a week, but mine are stored simply because i have plenty other to smoke first. Do it daily if u want.From what i've read anywhere from 60 to 65 is the curing zone.I even vacumn them in the jars once i get below 67 to slow them down more.I dont buy the humidity control packets.I gather your cureing depends how long you stay in the cure zone.From 1 monrh to several.Also the bud you smoke after the 4 days is quite tasty already instead of tasting like homwgrown.Hope this helps

I just choped a cream last week and the lower smaller buds are fast becoming my goto smoke over my sour diesel and cashcrop already.

Holy crap , i forgot to say when i put the layer of buds in the bottom of the bags, i make sure the bag itself stays fully open except for about the top inch or two. This i fold over once and a paperclip to hold it shut.
Then space the bags out on wire or something off the floor.
This is just how i do it though.
Works for me.

I got a few brown paper bags from McDonald's drive thru for my auto blue cheese.


"Sausage and egg mcmuffin and hot chocolate mate, and throw in 5 extra bags"



".....extra bags? Like brown paper bags? With nothing in them?"


"Yeah that's right boss, brown paper bags with nothing in them please, except the sixth bag, which should contain amongst other things, a sausage, an egg, and a muffin, in the usual configuration"

























"........."

Hey , dont know if it matters or not but my brown bags are the big grocery store bags, not little sandwich bags.

I've got to say, I cannot believe how great this method is. My stuff is at that sweet spot of 63% within five to six days each time so far. Last time I didn't even do anything fancy: just dumped the bud (in chunks) into a brown paper bag, folded twice, stuck it on a shelf. No clip, no boxes or fans, and left a hygrometer in the bag that read 63% in five days, smelled and tasted great, and needed just one burp in the jar before it was ready for long-term curing and storage. It's unreal how easy this is and it limits (NOT eliminates) odors in the room while preserving the taste. Mine has literally never tasted grassy or like hay.

Yep i agree.
It dosent eliminate the smell but it sure is a lot less and only for a few days instead of weeks.
