Hey Duggan! Congrats on the 20 Os! Do you use boveda packs in your jars? I think I will have to hang my buds in the flower tent to keep the smell under control. Do you think I should keep it dark in there while they're drying or could I move my veg girls in and keep the light on? I've read that the light can decrease potency. But I read a lot of stuff so who knows what is true these days. Cheers buddy.
Mornin Noob, thanks brotha....ya with the drying ....here's the thing bud.....Three things degrade THC ,....heat, light , and air,..period! There are a few different ways people try but for the easiest and best (IMO) method....hang the branches (already manicured) from strings in a cool (room temps OK), dark room with NO fan running except maybe the exhaust fan/filter (like me) it's always worked best for me with no issues at all. Always have nice buds from the jars after a few weeks .I don't use those Boveda packs but prolly should. The trick when drying/ curing , is to start the cure (jars) when there is still a lil bit of moisture in the buds...just a lil however , as too much will start the mold process quickly and not enough and a proper "cure" will not happen. There has to be just a bit of moisture left in the stems and sticks for a proper cure to happen. I usually hang on the strings for 4-5 days then they get trimmed off the sticks and go into the jars for curing/storage but have to keep an eye on them, opening them up if too much moisture is evident in them. Lots have growers have done it this way only to forget to check them every few days , only to open them a few weeks later to find a big bunch of messy , moldy buds . If you jar them and you suspect a lil too much moisture in them still,...no worries , just leave the lids off for a 1/2 day or so...got it bud! Cheers eh.
