most people hang for a week or 2. i hung for a day or 2. the weed is still wet when put in the jar. you can open the lid and "pour" moisture out. not to many people are willing to do this. it is very risky. you can lose the whole jar in a few hours if not watched closely.

Yeah its not a good idea to jar,bag etc. very wet bud and you have to be careful keep your eye on it,if it looks really sweaty open the bag up and let it breathe on some paper,and in hotter countries,rooms do what fdd says and check it a lot

I read this about 16 years or so ago in a pot book in an old hippie store,i never even bought the book as i was skint,but the owner didnt mind me looking through the book as i had bought some seeds from him.
I think i read for about an hour bits and pieces from different sections.
I also cannot remember the name of the book,i have tried but totally failed.
Id like to think that maybe we read the same old book lol

Ok after googling for old cannabis books i found it by recognizing the cover art,this is the book i read in the shop all those years ago.

The Art of Modern Hashmaking
Methods for Preparation of Extremely Potent Cannabis Products
by D. Gold

I think i will buy it just for nostalgia purposes lol

So how much difference in potency and taste would these methods make? Maybe I should do it the easy way and just hang for 6-10 days then jar them, ?

Also, should I plan to have a dehumidifier as well as a fan or will just keeping room temp down in the low 70s take care of it?

the idea is to cure it as slow as possible.

Very curious. Wonder if someone is up to prove it? Any mythbusters out there?

Any airtight container will work, glass and metal being preferred. I use metal cookie tins, the large, round, flat tins that shortbread cookies come in. They hold a lot of buds on sticks, and are easily opened and inspected and aired out. Then they go into glass wide-mouth mason jars for storage.
