Let's say the goal is to get it done in 2 weeks (drying and curing) after harvesting.
Which way is better?
1) dry it for normal amount of time which is probably 5 days and then cure it for another 9 days.
2) or dry for a very long time - 2 weeks and no curing at all.
Which way gives you better results and why? Would there be a big difference at all?
2-3 week cure at least is best results, i always accidentally speed dry a few nugs and they come out a bit harsh (some small nugs get left on drying rack every run)
What are you yacking about? All my last grows I've ended up with the dry mass of 20-22% of the wet one. If I have weighted wet mass, it's not a rocket science to calculate what will be the dry mass in the end.
You are simply hijacking my threads.
Thank you for those who are friendly and interested to talk about growing, because I thought that's what this forum is about.
Danger Will Robertson. Drying/curing is a two part process. Drying removes moisture and curing evens out the moisture still in the product. Without curing we end up with soggy big buds and crispy small buds. More power to you if you have found a way to dry different size buds uniformly.
Rubbish, curing is an unnecessary step, simply drying the bud is all thats needed, talking rubbish and it makes a mockery of those who have taken the time to learn and post on this thread....
