Just want to leave an update here.
My 3Wok that I had dried in brown paper bags smelled “decent/ok”. Since moving them to grove bags and being in there for a like a month, the smell is insane.. like seriously.
Here’s what I’ve learned with brown bags. First things first, they work. Second thing, if whenever you’re drying them is quite high with humidity then hang your bags. This also prevents the buds from being squashed against the floor or something else. Third thing is, I forgot two bags that had some weed left sitting in them for like a month. Despite being left bone dry in the brown paper bag and not any proper curing, it’s damn loud.
I’ve tried McDonald’s bags, supermarket bags, and my favourite is Aldi (uk peeps), and the small lunch bag kinda ones.
Moral of the story is, if you’ve made sure that you have pulled your plant at peek potency, it may not smell great and the smel will die down in the bags after a few days then ppl like myself tend to worry. But trust me, give it a month in a grovebag or jar with proper curing and you will be crazy surprised. My best smelling weed yet and I had next to zero faith because the smell dies down after a couple days.
Another thing to note is, I stored them on a line/rope within a cardboard box and had a portable dehumidifier to keep my humidity in the 40s-50s.
Last key note is make sure once you think they are dry, that you do pop another brown paper bag over the one with your weed in it and take it off a day later. This is called the sweating process. It is very very important in my eyes and I’ll never skip thiscu step again.
Hope someone learns from my update ^ :smoking:
