Brown paper bag drying

Harukisan
Harukisanstarted grow question 4 years ago
Hello! For those of you who dry their buds in a brown paper bag, how do you proceed? Right now buds are trimmed and put in a dark, dry closet. Should I check everyday? Wait a bit before I open? How long does it usually take for you to get everything dry?

Hello. I wet trim my branches of buds. As I trim I hang the branches for 3 days to lose some moisture. I take paper bags (the six pack of beer size) cut the top 1/3 off so the buds don't have so far to fall and put about 2 to 3 inches of cut of the branch buds into the bag. Hang the bags on the same line used to dry the branches. fold over once and close with closepins. DON"T OPEN THE BAGS. Let the bags hang for a week. There is a gas coming out of the drying bud that cancels out the chlorophyll. If the chlorophyll is not canceled out it turns the buds bitter. Check after a week and if the buds are dense then the bag might need to be hung for a few more days. When the buds are dry just put them in mason jars. No need to burp them the less oxygen they get the longer the buds last. I explain this in my diaries. Good Luck. Chuck.

use two paper bags, once the buds are kind of crispy to the touch, place the buds in the bags, divide them up equal close the bag by folding or rolling but not tight kind of loose. once a day open the bags and lightly fluff the buds, seal bag. about a week of this, after the week start putting the buds into your containers, jars ect. open jar lid once a day to burp buds, if you do not have jars them keep them some where air tight, hope that is what you need,
