20 yrs growing. Cure in 1/2 gallon mason jars. I like to SMOKE. Therefore when I cure I'm looking for smokeability. Herbs cured for joints (popcorn and dank trim) are dried more, bongloads a little less dry, but always brought below 70% RH as measured with an hygrometer. 70%RH at 70 degrees...
I have many Hygrolids. Love them. You really only need one to test each curing jar but a few makes it easier and they look nice on stash jars. Cheapest to buy from hygrolid.com safe and reliable and fast shipping. You can pay a bit more on amazon.com.
Looks about right. cuts would make nice clones if they aren't too far into flower. also works to remove all the bud sites along the interior of low side branches except the very toppest to just let them form one bud (if they're already flowering and not gonna be clones and as long as the top...
seems to me the lower branches and bud sites (in the photo of the one plant) will be shaded out once the stretch is on and you'll get no more than maybe a few grams of fluffy little popcorn down there. If you decide to trim the littlest nugs they'll look like nuthin once they're dry. I thin...
I've been experimenting with adding air to coco/compost mix in pots and had good results depending on the strain. The drip tray under the pots acts as a reservoir and is where the air bubbles are added. I wonder if putting the air directly under the roots inside the pot would be better, but...
Maybe the problem with identifying the "way" to cure herbs is that so many herbs are so different. Loose and stringy buds with small thin stems dry more quickly and completely before curing and require much less monitoring. Great big dense colas with thick, beefy stems dry slowly, the outside...
70% Relative Humidity translates to less than 15% Moisture Content in most herbs. RH and MC are two different measurements which are positively correlated. 70% RH is used more directly in reference to the MOLD threshold. Mold generally will not grow in conditions below 70% RH if the...
