Hello first time grower was wondering what is the best way to cure your plant? As soon as you pull plant do i trim ? Or leave it till dry ? Please help do i also hang upside down it dark room ? Thanks

Get a perfect cure every single time, using the hygrometer curing method: and here's how you do it:


This method is particularly effective for folks who are starting out, those looking to maximize quality in a shorter period of time, and folks who's like to produce a connoisseur-quality product each and every time with no guesswork involved.

It's a very simple and effective process:

Cut the product, trim it per your preference, but don't dry it until the stems snap. Take it down while the stems still have some flex, but the product feel dry on the outside. This is a perfect opportunity to drop the dry-feeling flowers onto a screen and collect prime-quality kief that would otherwise get lost in the jar.

Jar the product, along with a Caliber III hygrometer. One can be had on Ebay for ~$20. Having tested a number of hygrometers - digital and analog - this model in particular produced consistent, accurate results. Then, watch the readings:

+70% RH - too wet, needs to sit outside the jar to dry for 12-24 hours, depending.

65-70% RH - the product is almost in the cure zone, if you will. It can be slowly brought to optimum RH by opening the lid for 2-4 hours.

60-65% RH - the stems snap, the product feels a bit sticky, and it is curing.

55-60% RH - at this point it can be stored for an extended period without worrying about mold. The product will continue to cure.

Below 55% RH - the RH is too low for the curing process to take place. The product starts to feel brittle. Once you've hit this point, nothing will make it better. Adding moisture won't restart the curing process; it will just make the product wet. If you measure a RH below 55% don't panic. Read below:

Obviously, the product need time to sweat in the jar. As such, accurate readings won't be seen for ~24 hours, assuming the flowers are in the optimal cure zone. If you're curing the product for long-term storage, give the flowers 4-5 days for an accurate reading. If the product is sill very wet, a +70% RH reading will show within hours. If you see the RH rising ~1% per hour, keep a close eye on the product, as it's likely too moist.


Seems to be the mostly widely accepted way to cure.

flush your plants ....1 gallon of soil 2 gallons of water 5 gallons soil 10 gallon water

hydro remove the plant from what ever mix u have now and replace it with plain water

give the plant 5-7 days more light after the flush so they perk up......................then 48/72 hours of complete darkness for them (to use up last of the chemicals in the plant) after that cut the stalk hang upside down

cool dry room humity 50 or under...... 30 is to low 50 is perfect ...about 4 days u go in the stem will snap with pressure (not bend it must snap) when the stem snaps u do more trimming getting to near the end then place on a drying tray for 2 days ....when u can press the buds and they are sticky but they come off hand with out much pressure u are at the jar stage......open the jar up every day one or 2 times allow moist to get out after about 2 weeks u are done


rem this heat over 80 makes thc degrade

Thanks guys appreciate the help

Dont make it more complicated than it is for yourself, that was my mistake my first couple grows, always worrying if its too dry or did i miss the window wven with meters it made it more complcated... Just make sure its dry before you cure, dry in dark place . Im in a dry state i hang the whole plant no fan for 3-4 days, trim it... Paper bag it open it once a day for 1/2 hour- 45 min comes out perfect.... If you are east coast or in the south id say with fan hang whole plant for about 6-12 days depending on the RH..
