Curing weed not being at home?

BENY_TRUBYstarted grow question 3y ago
I have some plants hanging to dry. However, when I should start the curing process in airtight jars, I'm going on vacation and won't be home for 2 weeks to open the jars once a day. I don't know how to manage and store my weed during my absence.

Hello BENY_TRUBY! A good option is to cure in "raw" cardboard boxes. Brown boxes without ink on the inside Cardboard has the property of absorbing and releasing moisture very well, so it's a great option when you can't "burp" the glass jars daily. Use cardboard boxes the size of a shoebox and fill them to a maximum of one-third of their capacity, making sure the buds and branches aren’t packed tightly, so that air can circulate properly between the pieces. Try wetting a cardboard box and letting it dry in the air. You'll see that its characteristics will be the same once it dries. Another option that has been mentioned is glass jars with humidity control packs (like "Boveda"), but you should have a good drying process beforehand to avoid excess moisture and NOT fill the jar more than 50 percent with the buds without them being packed together to promote minimal air circulation even if you don't burp. Let us know what you decide to do and how it turns out after your vacation! Good smokes!

Put them on jats with humidity packs. It'll keep ur buds at the perfect humidity and should cure decently. This will keep the Terps the buds have that would get lost if dried to much. Keep them somewhat cool. You will come back from vacation very happy to see the quality of the cannabis has increased

I would recommend you to trim your buds and save it on a vacuum seal bags do not press it but make sure take out all the air you can before close. After you come back from your trip your weed will be safe and ready to smoke.

Best thing to do is get good at no burp, and do a good cure then vac the nug to prevent oxidation. Drying and curing I do 60 degrees/ 50-60 percent humidity/ for 14-16 days. Then put in tote 1/3 full and let sit for 2 weeks then vac seal and store in dark cool place

That's a tough one, if you put them in the jars and they're too moist and you are not around to burp the jars you could get mold. If they haven't been drying long when you leave you may be better to leave them out of jars. Tough call Many different dry/cure methods, personally I dry for 10-14 days at 50% RH then put in cure jars with humidity packs and burp 2x a day for first week, then once a day for two more weeks. Just how I like to do it.
