Default how long until buds can be stored long term?
permalink
time is a constraint for my first grow. i need to be done EVERYTHING by mid december, and am trying to figure if i should flower now, or if i can wait a little.

im most likely flying to florida for a few weeks in mid december, so i need to be able to store my bud for that length of time w/o opening the jars. this means i want them to be dry enough so that they dont get mold etc.

how long does it take from cutting a plant, to harvesting, and then curing them in jars for long term storage? this will help me decide when to flower. Thanks!

if you cut it, just get a card box with strings inside and hang your buds and you can leave it in the box for 8 weeks without mould. keep the buds in the dark and leave in the box and everything will be ok.

I dried my bud for about two weeks on screens and cardboard and then stuffed them into mason jars. they have kept for three years now (yes, I had a good yield) and keep me in the groove. I keep them boxed in the dark in a closet, pretty dry now but get the job done

they go in jars to cure. curing makes the smoke smooth and tasty.

That's tru, but there is a pretty good test to tell if your buds are ready to jar or not. If you can snap the stem in the middle of the bud and it snaps nicely without bending, then it's ready for the jar. It's a good idea to "burp" the jars once a day for the first week or 2, bu then it's good to go for long term storage.

you gotta dry the hell out of it before you put it in A Jar.
