My experienice with garage curing (this could help others):
It was time to hang dry my dads harvest, and he did not have a better place to hang the cannabis.
I purchased a hygrometer/thermometer, and found that the garage oscillated between 55-68% humidity, and it was well below 65 F most of the time.
I hung the cannabis, and on the 5th night, a hook fell out, causing 1 line of cannabis to fall onto the ground. I had cleaned up the garage and swept it out prior.
I rehung the cannabis, and had no more issues.
I did this for about 2 weeks, and the cannabis seemed ready to harvest. Branches snapped, slight crisp on some of the buds.
The cannabis was jarred and put back in the garage where I would shake them up every day and pop the jars to release some gas, and then spacing to 2 days after 2 weeks.
When I stopped shaking and popping the cannabis to every 3 days, some of the buds from the worst plant started to show signs of white mold. It was petty minor, so I stuck those in the freezer.
1 Jar of the better cannabis started to show some signs as well, so I rejarred with less cannabis and removed it.
I eventually got some humidity packs because it seemed like the cannabis had just a little too much moisture.
Its been 4 months since harvest, and 2 months since placing the humidity packs in, and only a couple of jars have a few minor/tiny signs of mold. Barely noticeable. The mold is most likely due to the humidity packs adjusting the jar too slowly, but probably wont spread afterwards.
I will soon be moving excess jars to the freezer for long term storage, as there is limited freshness from jars at room temperature. The cannabis did well despite a poorly controlled environment and being jarred too early.
