I have heard from two reasonably reliable sources(calling them that because theyre both ~50-60 years old and have been growing weed since they were younger than me) that if you just harvest and/or manicure your buds, drop them loosely in a brown grocery paper bag and set them on the fridge over night, the bud will be perfect..

what are your thoughts on this? my first drying session really failed me, conditions too cold and bud was watered too soon before i clipped it.

help? PLEASEEE? )

Old smokers dnt care about the taste as much in my exp the heat is not good fore the buds n the paper bag will work but u need to hang them up for a couple of weeks. Then a.paper bag 4 2 weeks then a jar

Yea def take the time to dry it slowly well worth the wait

I just can't get the hanging drying method, ive hung aerogarden buds and soil grown buds in closets and show boxes on strings with holes in the side... everytime I hang it just does not dry well, it always stays moist after 2 weeks or so, even though i live in the south the humidity in here isnt bad at all. I dunno you guys.

you were right about the old people and the not caring about the taste thing, i thought it over. those old farts NEVER brought me anything other than some brown frown thats real stringy or flattened.

anymore help?!! im 12/12'ing my aerogarden so it should only be.. not too long!

I usually hang dry for 4-5 days, then ill do the paper bag for a good day or two, then go to jars. When i go straight from hang drying to jars, the buds feel dry before entering the jar but after a few hours with the lid closed the buds become to moist and start to smell grassy. Why i use the paper bags is it seems to absorb more moisture, so after a day or two in the paper bags ill put them in the jars and they smell way better

This method sounds smart, utilizing the hanging with the bag method. A question though:

When I put the buds in a bag after hanging, do i close the bag up, roll it up, or leave the top open? and I can just leave it in a dark place or do you recommend on top of the fridge?

I would recommend the paper bag method too as I also find paper to absorb a lot of the moisture from the plants and helps to dry before jars.

Doesn't necesarrily have to be on top of the fridge, but anywhere room temp in a dark, dry place (cupboard, drawer, closet etc). Open/closed bag does not matter.... the point of bagging is moisture absorbtion.

Yes you want to roll up or close up the paper bag, but you want to burp it a couple of times, this means just open it up and let some fresh air circulate in the bag but when it is sitting you want it closed up

By fresh air circulating do you mean shaking the buds around to even out the moisture absorption in the buds? or just leave the bag open for 10 or 20 minutes and close her back up? thanks you guys

I hang them for 5-8 days depending on humidity, then sweat em' for at least a week before putting in jars for long storage. Keep the air moving in the room.
