Curing, but like... for a bunch

So last run I came out with 1/2lb of dry weight. I used mason jars. It took about 8 jars.
Here in a couple months, I should be harvesting a lot.... like... say 20lbs give or take.
The information I’m seeing is for smaller harvests.
Can anybody shed some light or insight or suggestions?
I have 2 tents.
1 is a 4x4
The other is a 5x5
Do you think that’s enough space for that much weed?

I use black garbage bags and bag the whole plant for at least a week before trimming
Then I alternate back and forth between garbage bag and paper bag till I get right dryness
It all goes in sealed 5 gallon buckets

Do you think a 7 day dry 7 day cure would be long enough?
Not sure about cure of 7 days. I try not to rush it.....but also paranoid about mold or rot.


Thinking about it....
Drying variables....
Temp, RH, airflow.
Each plants, height, stalk and branch thickness, whole plant hung or branches, crogged/lollipopped,
Pre-chop....how long without water before chop.

Whew. I need to take another hit. bongsmilie

Black tups with yellow lids from Costco. I routinely cure relatively large harvests using them. Here in Colorado it is super dry so I tup mine up at 3-4 days then bueno down to the moisture I am targeting.

Also 5x5 tent that absolutely crushes would give 4 pounds in my opinion. 1 lb per 1000 is a decent standard when you are dialing everything in 2 per 1000 is achievable with everything dialed in. Obviously the 1000 is a rule of thumb. Also look at it like a 4x8 table. A 4x4 is one half of that as is a 5x5.

What size tup do you think would be good for x amount of lbs?
