once you get more experience you'll be able to get a better feel for how dry is just right vs. letting them get too dry

Update: My crispy buds aren't crispy anymore! The Boveda packs gave them a much better feel, so I guess they're working! But still gonna keep an eye on the rH in the jars.

Thanks for your thoughtful advice, Doer, I'm learning. Peace and great grows to all you guys!

Well, you are welcome. It is just two different subjects, I think. For rescue, I use a slice of navel orange peel. Nice and moist, smells good,

When it comes to over drying you affected the THC content and that can not be brought back. Over drying is bad, however re-hydrating will help restore some of the smoking pleasure. Properly hydrated bud smokes even and slow. Gives a great burn. It also if not to bad can restore some of the smell.

I find that when dried too fast the moisture is not even in the bud. Curing allows it to even out. Not only that, chlorophyll from the growing stage along with sugars make it real harsh. THC also has a maturation time during curing. Why do you feel curing has no value? This is why they cure fine cigars.

Chlorophyll and sugars along with other growth contaminants bleed out over time. The longer the better in my opinion. I would get your bud in the dry to 58% then put it in a HydroMate™ as long as you can stand it. You won't even have to burp it.

bullshit. if you aren't over fertilizing or using products that are taken up by the plant that can't be metabolized, there is no need for a cure.

ever had cured tomatoes? cucumbers? corn? lettuce?

if you want to talk dry product, how about tobacco? it dries in an aerated overheated barn, and once down to acceptable moisture levels, is processed, and packaged. cigars suck, and old stagnant tobacco is something snobs pay for because it has a hefty price tag...

I think you should tell Rocky Patel that. Tomatoes are a fruit, cucumbers, corn and lettuce are a vegetables. I don't smoke them.

If you guys would stop attacking each other, your arguments would carry a lot more weight, let's keep it clean here.

Just lore banter and myth. Curing has nothing to do with THC content.

Drying has everything to do with it. As it dries it de-carboxlyizes, ie, gives up CO2. That increases the THC vs THCA ratio.

Curing is about the breakdown of chlorophyll, same as with tobacco. Curing is about smoking it. I don't. I extract it all, these days, and vap.

For extraction it needs to be bone dry. The THC is still in there.

funny thing about cloning, I grow from seed, and never really intended to clone, but I hate to trow out cutting if I lollipop, so early on in the start I had a few on my hands and just place em in a cup of tap water (PH 7,8 ) in the window shelf, forgot about em, two weeks later I find em with 1cm of water in the bottom and a cup full of roots, been adding to my seeds ever since with a few clones now and then, if your in no hurry you don't need cloning gel and humidity domes aso tho I found shielding the water from the light speed up the process, and I also like to put a few drops of kelp in the water now, dunno if it make a different ?

keep it simple

Sorry OP, you don't dry until the stems snap. I don't how you go that mixed up. You hang to dry until the thick stem below the cola breaks over easily, without snapping off. It you wait till the main stem can snap,. too late. And since this is deep moisture loss from the core, I don't think there is any way to get back.

What I do, is hang it until the most tiny stem can just snap off. Then the main stem can easily bend. Then I strip the buds and put them in a paper bag with a humid meter.

You have the details correct. I did the opposite with my first 9 oz. Jarred it too wet and it molded.

I did BHO extraction. The Meds are still there.

So you blasted moldy buds?
