The drying and curing process for cannabis is one of the most important parts of ensuring that the potency and flavor of your harvest is maximized. Improperly caring for your buds can lead to decreased potency and flavor, so it is important to understand the process and do it correctly.
Generally, when harvesting cannabis, it is usually time to dry and cure your buds. After harvesting, the first step is to remove any extra leaves and trim the plant. Next, you need to decide whether you want to do a humidity controlled drying room, or a hanging drying method. If you are using a humidity controlled drying room, make sure the temperature stays between 65-70°F (18-21°C) and the humidity should remain around 50-60%. The temperature should never exceed 70°F (21°C). If you are hanging your buds, make sure that all the buds are properly spaced out and the room is kept at 70°F (21°C) and 50-60% humidity.
Once the buds have dried, it is now time to start the curing process, which helps the buds to develop their flavor and aroma. Start by placing the buds in jars, preferably glass jars, and sealing them. Then put the jars with the buds into a room with 70-75°F (21-24°C) and 50-60% humidity. The temperature should never exceed 75°F (24°C). The jars should then be opened and the buds stirred every couple of days to ensure that they are evenly exposed to air, moisture, and light.
Curing is done when the buds are pliable and are no longer sticky. This can take anywhere from 2-6 weeks depending on the room conditions, the amount of cannabis, and the size of the jars. Once done curing, it is important to store the buds correctly to ensure that they stay potent and flavorful. Make sure that the buds are stored in air tight containers, like glass jars, in a cool and dark environment.
The drying and curing process for cannabis is an important part of achieving the best results from your harvest. Make sure to follow all of the steps correctly and to never exceed the recommended temperature and humidity levels. If done correctly, your buds should be potent and full of flavor.
