What about using paper bags for curing after 3 or 4 days in dry? How long should buds be left in bag before going to jar?
How Do I Quick-Dry My Buds?

You use the jar to cure, not the paper bags... That's just another drying method. When dry enough, start curing. You also want to exchange the air in the jar pretty frequently for the first couple weeks... After that you can keep it closed for long periods.

I would just chop up into small bits and let it dry naturally if in need. Any heat would take all terpenes away.

Cool thread man, I totally get that I shouldn't be sampling my plant, but I have zero self control!

I don't think it would work that well in a zip lock baggie, it would trap all the moisture in with the bud. In foil or a paper bag in the sun would be fine

Nice, I use a slow cooker on low... It gives very similar results
7 days (hang) at 70 degrees' at 70% RH (7-7-7 rule) sativa's dry "quicker than indica's due to bud development (hang till you hear a snap when bending stems) don't worry about plant being to dry this it will come a round once in jars

hi guys! have you ever tried the Marijuana Curing? I just read this article Marijuana Curing Guide - Kyle Kushman | Expert Medical Marijuana Grower & Medical Marijuana Nutrients it really helpful and I learned some ideas that drying must be done properly before curing because if drying is not be done curing it cannot even be attempted.
Like Safeman I take my time. I hang my indica or hybrid branches for 2 weeks or so until dry (they snap) then into 1/2 gal wide mouth jars for daily burps for a week or 2 then weekly for another month that may improve the taste a little more. It looks like a really big harvest this year in my corner of So. Cal. Keep your jars dark and cool and they retain most potency for years.
end the end there is no short cut for curing time, time, time. you candy just about any "O" way (when the stem makes a "breaking" sound you are good to go, once you put in jars it will get "wet/moist"again which is normal and that will last for only a week or so. Some dispensery's put their cure in a temp/RH control enviroment and in the dark and they don't touch it for at least 30 days. happy curing PS- some strains take a bit longer to cure

Simple brownish paper bags, like the kind you obtain from the bakery, are best for drying out buds. Specifically popcorn buds. If you position a handful or 2 of freshly polished smaller sized nuggets into a paper bag as well as leave them to completely dry for 2-- 3 days your midway there. Preferably, you must leave them an additional 3 days to completely dry completely. Yet if you remain in a rush, continue to the following step.

Decarboxylation, don't go over 300 with the oven. Will start to burn off thing you want. That's why don't put it at 450 imo.
