A perfect cure every time

I've got some photos of 2 year old weed in a thread I started. https://www.rollitup.org/harvesting-curing/249160-smoke-report-2-years-storage.html

I was just curious as I have never cured anything before, just hung and dried. I read that some turn brown or lose alot of green when cured. Although smell and taste are tops it is always nice to have beautiful green sugar coated buds to admire!

It depends on the strain jjoe. Some dry green, brown, red, blue, purple, almost black, to varying hues [I haven't seen the last 3 personally but so I'm told]
To be honest, after storing pot for a long while I couldn't care if it looked like something the dog coughed up as long as it still had the desired affect

i am on my third month using this method on some greenhouse thai that i either didn't flush long enough or just plain gave too many nutes to during it's lifetime. tasted lousy at first though it kicked like a mule. after 3 months it is starting to get that thai taste(yippeeee!) and it now kicks like an elephant. aweome thread. thanks!

Just to let everyone know. Walmart has 80 oz jars of pickles for 3.50$ nice jars for curing I think.

walmart also has a case (6) of 1/2 gallon mason jars for 14.98.

I wonder how hard the pickle smell is to remove...?

To answer both post above mine. Walmarts in the central florida area do not stock bigger mason jars so they would have to be ordered. And for the pickle smell, they are glass so the jar itself is odorless. For the lid, drop it in a boiling pot of water and no more smell. Dishwasher will do about the same thing.

I'm about to harvest my WW x Amnesia. What is the best time of the light cycle to harvest? Is there one?

Morning or if you can wait and are able 2 days or so in the dark will allow trichome heads that haven't finished producing to do so and prevent the already done heads from degrading...

No can do the dark thing, I have a WW days behind & an unknown 3-4 weeks away [supposed to be a BlackSugar mother but turned. Obviously an auto]

Morning? Just before the lights come on? After the lights come on? When?

Before the lights come on or before the sun rises...

Put the other ones outside. Sunlight will continue the flowering cycle, maybe the cold will bring out some extra color! Or you could move the 2 ready plants to a different dark area. Just thinking out loud again lol.

I'm running a stealth set-up so outside is out of the question. Changing conditions on a plant isn't worth the risk.
What I need is two tents. I'm learning how to 'chuck pollen' to grow seeds so I'll soon need 3 tents. Then I want.............................haha.

P.S. I harvested just before lights on & she's now hanging in the dark

If anyone's interested - the White Widow x Amnesia is one of the best smokes I've had for a while. Beautifully smell, taste & high.

From where?

Ah sorry brownEs, I realised after I bought them that I should be keeping a journal of sorts including breeders name. Sea of seeds has a new ordering system so all details of past purchases are deleted. A search on SoS page turns up no WW x A at all last time I looked.

Intersting method, we have just stuck to extra large paper bids for years... But then again were curing 100's of Ps at a time...

Bit hard to cure hundreds of pounds in jars. [You did mean hundreds of pounds, yes?] I couldn't even imagine manicuring that much pot.

There are always food-grade containers than can be had as big as a barrel.

Good to see the thread is going well. Good luck to all.

Just read a PM from a grower who took the time to translate the tutorial into German, as a way of allowing German speakers to be exposed to the material. That's truly very cool.
