I had no fan and I paper bagged. My fridge sits at 15% humidity.
Look it takes time to work it out. My first couple of dries weren’t actually true fridge dries coz the feel of the bud made me nervous. I would half dry fridge, half dry jar getting down to 63%. That’s not the idea. The idea is to take it from the fridge, straight to jar to cure and in the 61%-64% zone.
It’s hard to explain, but when the buds feel like “omg I fucked it”, they are ready to jar. I don’t know the science, but you tip it in the jar, wack in a reader and that humidity will climb right to where you need it. A poster called Granddaddy Black told me, you start to understand the feel. I don’t even look at mine for the first week. I used to flip the bags and fuck about, but now I kinda know.
One pointer thick bud, more time, thin and airy less. For me thick approx 10 days, thin 5-7.
I haven't had fresh weed for over three years and I've been enjoying samples off a couple that are close to chop, and I keep being startled at how much I enjoy the buzz.
I often read about folks who don't like to touch theirs until it's had time to cure for awhile. Me, I always pick the fresh stuff. Given a choice, I'll roll up a undried morsel into a little ball, stuff it in the one-hitter and burn it until it smokes. You hear the quiet crackling as the moisture burns away, the great draw when it does catch fire, and a truly smooth smoke. And then the rush is so bright and zingy.
I don't get that from jarred weed.
So, it occurred to me - do you suppose that's CBG? Is undried weed much higher in CBG, and that's what makes for such a bright buzz?
Whatever it is, there's something extra for me in the freshly cut stuff. How 'bout the rest of you? Know what I mean?
I only know about this because of you guys and agree 100! Try telling my stoner friends this is like talking to a wall, oh well, to each their own. They also, for the most part, do not like my lazy trimming. More sugar leaf for me!
