Tips to Help you Dry & Cure your Cannabis!

Great tips to help you dry and cure your juicy buds

Two things to first take note of.
There is a difference between drying and curing buds.

First you dry your buds, then you cure them, as we will explain further.
Second, drying your buds doesn’t mean putting them into a warm oven and drying them to a
fragile crisp, no.

Drying is more a case of reducing the moisture content but only so much.
If you ever use rolling tobacco you’ll know what we are talking about when you compare
smoking a rolling with tobacco from a newly opened pouch of tobacco to smoking one you
make with tobacco that was opened a month ago and that’s now as dry as a dead dingo’s
whatsit!

The first is a smooth smoke, the second is harsh as hell and makes you want to cough your
lungs up!

So, let’s talk about drying your buds.

You can do this by drying them while still on the branch, or you can trim them first and dry
them on a rack, remembering to turn them frequently to stop them flattening out.

We recommend trimming your buds first as once dry, they are more fragile and prone to
shedding when messed around with.

Drying should take about 7-10 days depending on the environment, which is ideally around
45-55% humidity as you only want to reduce the moisture content by roughly 15%.

Once dry and you have trimmed buds, you want to fill a mason jar or other wide-necked jar
three-quarters full to allow air to circulate.

For the first couple of days open the jar and check that there is no sign of mould. Allow the air
to change and then seal the jar back up, keeping the humidity level around 62%

After a couple of days, this ritual only needs to be performed once daily, for a minimum
period of two weeks, after which your buds are smokable, but we recommend you wait a bit
longer if you can in order to maximise the flavour and smoothness of the smoke.

In a perfect world you will be looking at buds that have taken eight weeks to cure and inside
the jar keeping the humidity level the same to stop the buds drying out completely.

Once cured, you can also consider popping humidity packs into your jars to stop any further
drying out of your weed.

Following that, all that’s really left is to sit back and enjoy. Let us know how you go about
curing your buds in the comment section below.

    Insane timing



  4. Marlon Smith on April 26, 2023 at 11:35 am

    Not a lot about temperature, apply the 60f/60rh rule if you can.. too much heat can evaporate terps or dry too quickly.



  5. Topsrite on April 26, 2023 at 11:35 am

    70f 50H , No to glass mason jars, loose covered shallow Tupperware flat containers flipped twice daily , loose tops corners open, 4-6 wks

    Some nice tips!



  7. Der Sieg des Z on April 26, 2023 at 11:39 am

    Never wet trim as a beginner or they dry too fast if u not able to maintain a stable environment for drying. Minimum 55% humidity not over 60%, Temp. 60F or 16-18 Celsius, and 14 -16 days. The slower the better



  8. mish ham on April 26, 2023 at 11:39 am

    Pretty much what I do already so I’ll keep up the good work lol



  9. Kevin Smith on April 26, 2023 at 11:43 am

    Okay

    Old school here: after hang dry, put into brown paper bags, single layer, and put in dry, dark place to cure until the center stem snaps when folded. Been working for 36 years.



  11. NOT SURE on April 26, 2023 at 11:44 am

    drying buds, HA , i cant even get seedlings going, ive had a sh*t year , wind killed my first 3 plants , council workers found my second grow , police took my 3rd grow , 1 person ripped me off on ebay (no seeds arrived) and during all this my germination rate is about 10%, the only plants i have growing are the ones ive thrown out in the garden in rage , which have rooted.



  12. yoda yoda on April 26, 2023 at 11:45 am

    if you go a little bit too far during drying could you use hydro stones?.i saw somewhere that if you trim them dry you can put the trim through micro screens is this true?.if i open the jar and give it a shake so theres air all around the buds will that make a difference or can mold set in anyway?.



  13. T C on April 26, 2023 at 11:46 am

    Did I miss something, drying at 45-55% humidity bur I didn’t see temp suggestion?



  14. Matt Krumm on April 26, 2023 at 11:47 am

    Bullshit, you want to use up the C02 . Also no pot should ever be in contact with light prolonging photosynthesis during the curing stage.

    WAIT!!!!!!! We use our local RH to determine harvest…!! 1st look at your local RH! see if its 65%-70… now for the next 14 days you dry with outsideRH!!!!!!! its a master plan guys. i planed my harvest around those outside temps/RH! FEB2-10 look at chicago’s RH outside! dark and cold!? feb 2-10th the RH is to die for…with them temps! WORLD MAP SAYS WHAT?<



  21. Peter Elliott on April 26, 2023 at 11:54 am

    Best way to dry. Use stacked BBQ grills with a turbo fan at the base. And a smaller fan as a exit vacuum



  22. tim guerra on April 26, 2023 at 11:54 am

    I used to do this way but for long storave like months up to yrs ruins good weed. They can moisten it up later before use

    Put them out on some Aluminum foil out in the Hot bright sun, that will dry them good.



  26. Michael Teran on April 26, 2023 at 11:59 am

    Harvesting today yay! I do this same dry and cure method except I dry mine in a dark room and I have to cure in buckets with tight lids. I don’t have enough glass jars for what I grew!



  27. DUICE08 on April 26, 2023 at 12:02 pm

    Grove bags…. That is all. 😂

    I do the same way then use humidity packs

    Thank you



  33. AngryPasta on April 26, 2023 at 12:14 pm

    Make sure you dry and cure your buds in the dark. It’s very important or you can lose the potency of your buds



  34. Austin Reese on April 26, 2023 at 12:15 pm

    Shashamane. In the 1960s, Rastafari immigrants from the Caribbean began to settle on land near Shashamane which had been set aside for them by Emperor Haile Selassie I. Subsequently, Shashamane has become known for its cannabis cultivation, largely meant for local consumption



  35. Anthony Curtis on April 26, 2023 at 12:15 pm

    Just started my first grow 2 months ago and now I’m already growing 2 large cannabis plants almost ready for flower. I’d be lying if I didn’t say that the entire grow was thanks to this channel ❤, everything a newbie needs to know will be on here and Reddit! Much love and good luck gromies!



  36. R. Drake Sansone on April 26, 2023 at 12:15 pm

    Whole plant hung upside down: 16 days. 60 degrees fahrenheit. 62% humidity. Trim. Pop into jars. No burping required.



  37. Max Fleischmann on April 26, 2023 at 12:16 pm

    How should i put a killo in a jar?😂😂😂



  38. logan leborgne on April 26, 2023 at 12:16 pm

    🙄…16/60/60…16 days 60°F 60% R/H Then 60 days of curing with a few burping the firsts days of curing…use a Boveda pack 62%! 16 days are needed if you have rock hard buds at this temperature and humidity level…you just need something to move air in the room not on the buds of course!



  39. Jamie Smith on April 26, 2023 at 12:17 pm

    If you are looking for a different of weed I have a guy just for you he deals on all those things and some hard stuff like LSD,MDMA,Wock lean,Psychedelic mushrooms,Xanax,THC,syrup,Mushroom,DMT,Psychedelic,Psilocybin,Microdosing and Anxiety and depression????



  40. Rob924 Egan on April 26, 2023 at 12:18 pm

    The dry time is way too short in this little video. I think we all know what happens if we go through the cure process too soon and jar it up. HAY… Just my experiences



  41. bRiMaTiOn on April 26, 2023 at 12:18 pm

    I dont need tobacco examples really

    WHY, WHY, WHYYYYYYYY do you people use PAPER?!? wth do you get out of paper but injuries?



  48. Bud Spencer on April 26, 2023 at 12:28 pm

    Im not a fan of wet trimming because u high the risk when u trimming unclean that u had the hay smell on ur buds.
    And with the leaves around the bud they dry slower.



  49. Brandon Hilton on April 26, 2023 at 12:29 pm

    Was this narrated by Nigel Farage?



  50. Nor-Cal Transparency on April 26, 2023 at 12:31 pm

    If your buds get too dry, add a tortilla to the container for a day or two.
