Newbie questions on Curing for small amounts

Dr. G, you’re gonna get a lot of different replies/comments… I do my curing differently from others because not everyone hang dry/cure their buds in the same environment…there are a few hang dry/curing threads all over Overgrow…try and search them out…btw, I dont use bovida nor do I burp jars everyday like some people do…

I agree @PhilCuisine , I view curring as a family chili recipe… everyone is slighty different for the exact reason you stated.

My biggest questi’ťon/concern is I don’t have any headstash built up since I’m only capable of growing one currently…I want to try and make it through a month or two before I get it out to smoke so what’s the average amount of time after being hung up for a week and then put in my mason jars and burping them for the first couple weeks…I am just curious about feedback on whether or not it’s gonna be good for smoking after a short period

You can smoke as soon as it is dry IMO, it is just the taste and aroma will get better throughout the cure.
It is hard to keep the jars closed :wink:

Time is your friend. If you don’t have time it’ll still be nice. But I like my aged stuff the best.

It is actually ready to smoke after the hang dry…I’ve given buds to people 3-4 wks. after I’ve chopped them down…and its only been cured for a short period of time before someone does a smoke report…I’ve also given out 3-5 yrs. old budz for smoke reports too…

So I’m just about to put my big girl to sleep but I have a fan leaf almost at the top of the plant that’s being pushed down from the bud growing so densely around the stalk am I alright to cut it off this late in flower and I can’t take s picture cause my phone was dropped by my nephew and it destroyed my camera lens so it’s frustrating because I can’t wait to show you how much it filled in with flower compared to the first time around and I have still not seen any seeds or anything else but premature nanners and I am just seeing one here and there every few days but no pollination occurred so :crossed_fingers:t2:

No it’s not too late…mine will be 8wks. into flowering this coming Sunday…gonna let mine go to 9wks. or so…

Hang whole plant in a controlled environment such as a tent or closet.

Fan on low for air movement (do not point directly at plants).

Temperature and humidity controller set to 65F and 65%. Plug in Humidifier or dehumidifier depending on your needs.

Hang for 21 days. You should be able to smoke it right off the plant. But I normally trim and jar. :+1:t3::green_heart:
