Marceline - White Widow (?) - 1st grow

Curing. Things to avoid : UV Light / Sun : UV degrades cannabinoids, also usually with sun comes heat which causes further degradation as well as degradation of terpenes. Lots of air: A bit of air change out is alright to control humidity and move air around the buds... too much air, pulls moisture from the buds as well as the more volatile terpenes to off-gas and/or oxidize. Heat: Aside from humidity/mold issues, heat degrades cannabinoids. Degradation is the opposite of what we are trying to do. I personally use Hysense lid hygrometer/thermometers for my mason jar lids, built right into the lid. Once the flower is center stem snappable drying @ 50-60RH, place into mason jars about half to 3/4 full. I like using the Boveda packs to control the RH during curing. RH 58% or RH 62% personal preference. Even with the Boveda, I still follow the typical burping of twice a day for 5 minutes for the first week, Once a day for 5 minutes for the next 2 weeks, and then once a week for 2 weeks. Cure till it smells and tastes good. If it starts smelling like hay or something, you dried it too fast. Once it is cured, you'll notice a change in the taste, smoothness, bud structure/density, and overall appearance of it. Properly stored once cured at the proper RH, cannabis can last for years as long as its protected from Heat, Light, and excessive air. Hope this helps!
