Drying

I wet trim, put in my hanger to dry for 4 to 6 days usually in a closet, in the dark, no fans and no humidity control. When the buds feel like they could be smoked, but really aren't ready yet., and the stems have a slight crack when you bend them, I put all the bud together into a box or cooler if you have one. You shut the lid until the buds become rehydrated. This usually takes 15 minutes to half an hour. This is called sweating. As soon as it feels wet again, you open the lid of the box or cooler and start drying it in the box or cooler. When the top starts to dry, bring the bottom to the top, and let that start to dry. Repeat this until all the bud reaches the dryness that you like, smokable at this point. Jar the weed and leave the jars open the first day. Then close the jars for a day. Open the next day to burp for a few hours. Check every day for a week to see whether they need to be burped. When you open the jars and they feel the same dryness as the day before, then it can be shut and stored in a dark place for up to 2 yrs. This is how most big growers dry their crops, and the only way I will do it. If you want to try different ways is alright as well. Just do this with a small portion of your harvest and see how the end product tastes. Try some the other ways and see how they taste. If you want the taste you get from quality smoke, my way takes out all the homegrown green taste. Always great tasting smoke and as soon as it is dried, it's smokable. Final cure in jar just adds to it. No homie smell after smoking....
