When you cure, how often do you open your jars? I open once a day for the 1st week, then every other day week 2, then week 3+ every 3-5 days. I think that it isn't enough and I can have better bud quality/smell if I open the jars more frequently. Thanks for your feedback! 👊

I think that what others have already written, in addition to what you already do, is correct ... Everything depends on temperature and humidity in the area where you will perform the tanning / care .. Personally the best method in my opinion is the following ... I cut the whole plant and hang it with still the smallest resinous leaves attached .. when these are dry and the branches are about to break, I make a manicure in a workmanlike manner and then put the flowers inside paper bags brown (better then white) .. for a couple of days I open the bags several times a day and move the flowers a little..after two / three days (it always depends on t ° and ur) I put the buds in glass jars and for the first week I open and close two / three times a day at a distance of four / five hours / life commitments😅 .. and as the days go by I go to climb with the openings until I think it is ok for my taste..i personally believe that the top is here while the flower is crunchy but resinous to the touch, almost damp, but when it is crushed the inside must remain solid, in general (when this is the case, every strain in smoke releases pure oil on the map) ... using the vaporizers if desired the times are reduced a lot because the flavors are already much more pronounced, even if the grass is still a little green (for example two weeks after cutting) ... to smoke it I wait at least a month and a half, and yet I don't smoking practically more, I always use it as the best and most truthful test method .... anyway I found a method that I saw on YouTube in the Verde Natural channel (I think it's a Colorado dispensary) interesting and well explained, and the guys seem to me quite experienced ... Lemon Amnesia fantastic🤩🍋.. excellent choice👌...after three months in jar the haze flavor stands out in an incredible way.. I hope you can get the best flawor out of her.. Hope english was correct🙏

@motaman311 Once a day but I leave the lids off progressively longer each time ie first week 10mins every day 2nd week 15mins 3rd 20mins at the end of curing which is a 6 week process for me I leave the lids open for an hour. Once I'm done I'll pop in a boveda pack and theyre as well cured as anything I have paid good money for .

I tried several methods PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING LISTED ABOVE....I think IF YOU ARE DRY pack jars full close open one time for a second each day to make sure it smells right good yummy still....IF it doesn't smell perfect some say lay it out for 30min to two hours.....I hung the whole plants...let dry 8-10 days...trimmed and jarred...THOSE ARE THE BEST SMELLING THE ONES I OPENED THE LEAST...I don't think anyone knows for sure....THE ROOM HUMIDITY MAKES A DIFFERENCE TOO...I like DRY TO 60% put in jars and check once a day...SHOULD SMELL AWESOME LIKE RIGHT AFTER REMOVING HE POOP LEAVES DURIN TRIMMING....thats my opinion based on the 18 jars I just experimented with....#2 got the OPEN more system....BUT LOST ITS POP....dry, jar, smell one time a day for two weeks.....IF NOTHING CHANGED NOTHING WILL it should get better and better....thats what I read...I LIKED HE LEAST OPENING METHOD BEST...I even used Braveda packs...THEY DONT DO POOP

I put them into jars aftr hanging for around 10 days on the clothes rack or in a cardboard box. I fill them in jars if the branches snap with a loud crack. And most time i let the jars open in the firt week ( i just forget to close them......) in second week i open glasses1 time for an hour ( if i dont forgt) and in 3rd week i look and shake and open if necessary.You can get some boveda packs to have mor control for your drying buds. So you are on the right side of humidity.. cheers...

I'm doubting about the same thing. Curing right now with Lemon Shining Silver Haze and I opened them very regularly the first week. Also shake them up a bit everytime so they don't stick together. First days I opened every 12hours, now, 4 days later, every 24hours. I leave them open for about 50min. Next week will only open after 48 or 72hours and so on. They need to sweat out those first days so it's very important to check on humidity then. Last year I waited to long to put them in jars so they were too dry. Better to put them in a little more wet but open the jars more often. U can always correct when there is still moisture left.

I would guess the answer depends on conditions? Like jar size, and the wetness of the buds when they go in there. I am not experienced at all but I got a perfect cure the one time I tried it using an RH meter, and just keeping the %RH in the jars within the range. I only opened the jar when the humidity got above 65%. By doing it this way you could learn the frequency that you need to open them for your own personal conditions. After a few harvests you could probably learn how often your bud with your jars need to be opened. 🙌🙏
