Hey! First time drying and curing. Great first grow, don't wanna kill it on the home stretch. 3 plants for about 300g.
Pretty sure I got a good dry on them. After checking the date, they've been in jars a little longer than I thought. Going on about 11-14 days for most of them now. Of course I've been stealing a few nugs here and there and I haven't seen a great increase in flavor or smell over the process. Some still have a bit too much hay taste to em. The smell from the jars seems ok, no abrupt ammonia/mold smell to them. Just still a little grassy, a little sweet(?), and a low level of dankness. I'm curing with Boveda packs. I have been burping but not as much as usual since Boveda claims you don't need to. Most jars need a good little shake to separate the buds from one another. Do I need to brown bag them for a day or two or just keep playing the waiting game?
I've read quite a bit on curing but not much is ever said about what to look for during the process other than the obvious ammonia/mold
