curing before drying

**Starkton44** · 08-29-2009, 07:13 PM

One of my plants I have harvest. I have already dried it and im curing it now. The smell is strong but not as strong. I just harvest another plant and I put some in a jar to cure before drying it. I know the jar is going to build up moisture fast. But it smell like weed more than the other that i dried and I didn't dry i just jared it. So is that bad to cure first? is it just a strong smell because it still hasn't dried yet?

The moisture will build up and cause mold if you don't burp often plus it's gonna take long as hell to dry out right.

The chemical curing process can't begin until it is dry. You are not curing you are just drying in the worst possible way.

Your bud isn't going to smell as much as it dries. Wet bud has a far stronger smell than dry bud. If you just dry and cure normally, your bud should smell and taste fine.
