Thanks @Sticky fingaz ! I have indeed seen you around the forum, and it's been a pleasure reading your comments.@Rexer Hey buddy! You don't me but I know you've seen me around lol
I just wanted to say a massive for this thread & taking the time to log it all & write it down.
I read your article on curing weed & I wish I had seen it before I started drying my last grow.
I just followed what every book says & let them stalks snap before I jarred them. I thought the buds were a bit crispy but I've always been defeated by ' impatience ' so just stuck it out.
Once placed in the jars it took about 2 days for the RH to rise & I had the boveda 62% packs in there as well.
The smell never returned to the buds, even after 4 weeks in jars. It had an aroma once grinded, squeezed or smoked. But whenever I stuck my face in the jar, I was always welcomed with that dry grass smell. I thought I had followed the rules to the letter.....but still no smell.
Don't get me wrong, the quality of the bud & the high was fine..just disappointed I didn't get that lush, pungent, dank weed smell.
I shall be referring to this again.
Thanks again dude

I loved how in the article I posted the author broke down the stages, it was what made me understand the dry and cure process. I'm going to be trying the low and slow method my next run. One thing that I found when I used the method I posted was leaving a few stems attached helped retain some of the moisture for the cure and slowed the process down a bit. Everyone has to find that balance that works for them.
