Hi, this is my first post, i like the forum, and i got few questions for you.

My friend and I got a cannabis plant. We smoke weed for about a year, and this is first time we have a raw plant. We dried it in cool and dark place, as we read on Internet, for about 10-15 days. We thought it was a proper time, and we started to take buds from it. We also crumbed them, and we got around 100gr of weed. Then we put it in plastic jar, but we saw it isn't totally dry yet. So we opened jar and put it on the sun for a whole day, and after that we closed it again an put it on a cool and dark place... I think we did a lot of things wrong, but can someone tell me where we made a mistake, and what should we do before we can smoke it?

Thanks.

Oh, and i forgot to say that we found few creatures like small green centipedes on plant when we took it off from drying, what about it? Is it good or bad?

Not sure if you can read it in my other post so I'll say it again.Keep it out of the sun when drying, it will degrade it.

first off,theres a ton of similar posts like this use the search function,secondly dont put your smoke in the sun,light and heat degrade thc,also dont use plastic jars get glass ones.after your buds are properly dried(when stems snap) put em in glass jars,open the jars for an hour or two everyday to let them vent and the moisture and what not can get out.You can also use paper bags for the curing process.

yeah it'll dry(cure) just make sure you open the jar once or twice a day.it works better with whole buds but just keep an eye on it.

I dunno,I suppose it would work because the paper from the book would absord moisture,but why continue making something easy,difficult.
