Curing in the fridge?

Disclaimer: I'm a new grower, plants not ready to harvest, so I've not done this.

I would think more about absorbed odors and flavored and germs, mold, the gases that ripe fruit respire. If you're talking about hanging them, having them out in the open (of the refrigerator), think. Open your fridge and take a deep whiff. Is there a slimy vegetable in it? Past its prime milk or cheese? Mystery molding thing in Tupperware in the back? You want your smoke to breathe in that?

Just a thought.

I cure hash in a fridge. It's a fridge with no food product. Fridges will dry items out. Think of how hung meat is cured.

That'd be okay... I just wouldn't want my delicious smelling pot to end up tasting or smelling like Aunt Edna's casserole from two weeks ago, or the meat someone forgot in the back of the fridge.

I'll be harvesting (one by one, the plants are enormous) starting in a few weeks. All this pot won't fit in a fridge... I don't have enough mason jars either.. I'll hang it to dry, someone said a nice new Rubbermaid tub might do. I also bought bubble hash bags for the trim. :-)
 
I checked my reefer out. It only gets up to 52 at its highest setting. Thats turning the freezer diverter to max as well. It stays too cold to get a proper cure.

The warmer the air ..the more moisture it can hold. 50% RH @ 80 degrees has way more moisture than 60% RH @ 40 degrees.
 
Wow what allot of bad advice I know it won't matter anymore but you should dry your buds first then cure them in mason jars air tight and fill them to a 3qrt full then burp them 3 times a day for a few days then just slow it down to once week for a week or 12 days then when it's cured you can store in a fridge for upto 3years trying to cure and dry in fridge/freezer is a recipe for disaster happy growing people stay sharp and read
