Well, make sure your buds aren't too moist. Object is to prevent mold, etc... while keeping the ooey-gooey!

Feel and you shall find. :O)

you need to let them dry about 5 days, they should feel lightly crispy not spongy like you would think. and open the jars 4 times a day for a bout 20 min.

do the stems need to break not bend befor they go in?

let the stems almost snap..if you toss them in jars too soon the bud will have a spicy smell..you want them to be dry..I almost let them go a week.

spicy is one way to put it, lol. my last harvest i dried for like 3 days n then went straight to jars pretty much. I ended up with bud that smelled like damp basement, lol. It was still some of the best bud ive ever smoked, but it smelled like a basement thats been flooded, and then drained out. I think MUSTY would probably be a better word to use. BUT, then again i also probably chopped about a week or two too soon, so that could have contributed to the non dank smelling-ness.

Dry your buds on the branches for 5-7 days, until the stems snap but dont break. then into paper bags for 1 full - 2 full days, opening the bag up once or twice for a few minutes each day to sweat out any excess moisture. After that, into jars. Burp them bitches like was said ^^, 3-4 times a day. you dont need to leave them open for 20 minutes, just take the nugs out of the jar, rearrange them, and put them back in n seal it up.

it actually smelled like roast beef to me...you know the crap you get at the grocery store pre-cut...and it also fucked the color up too!!! since ive learned to let them dry out almost completely before I jar them..I also do a full wet-trim/manicure. never have had a grassy smell since.

Ive never done the paper bag thing..I live in a dry climate so its not necessary here i guess.

What do you think?
