This one..

Mephisto Alien Vs Triangle grown to 77 days. 6 Days hanging whole with all the leaves, then 1 day of trimmed buds drying on a dry rack. 7 days total drying. After a few hours in the jar, all jars are 64% and 65% RH. I calibrated 15 gauges and only used the ones that were identical to one another in the same environment.

It took me a while to learn this...but drying and curing like this means stinky danky weed with excellent terps every time. I Just didn't quite get this for the longest time. Its almost impossible to overstate just how crucial proper dry and cure are to the finished product. Previously, I wet trimmed and put the buds in the dry rack without regulating humidity in the drying room. They dried in like 3 days and didn't have good terps. Now I know better.. I have blown HVAC, so ambient RH is in the 30s and 40s. I bought a humidifier and I never let it get below 50. Hang drying the plant whole with all the leaves on is harder to trim but it's a better finished product...for me anyway.

I know some of you have known this forever...but this might be useful to those who didn't.

@Snidely Whiplash :thumbsup: Nice crop. Take your perfectly dried buds to the next level with Grove Bags.

I got to agree. I have similar dry trim dry again for day or two before cure begins. I used to do all kinds of different methods of burping but side by side curing using a Grove bag blew me away. All bud goes in Grove bags for 4-6 weeks then they go into jars that I smoke off of. Could smoke out of bags instead but like jars for that purpose anyway. Got burplids on jars once in there to make it easy but getting that first 4-6 week cure in Grove bags gave my bud better nose and taste.
