There are a lot of differing opinions on how to properly cure and dry. I can read links all day, and I am, but I am interested in the opinion of people who grow and dry in Colorado. I see the threads above, and they're great.

Here is my question, thanks for the input.

I'm growing one plant in a 4x4 tent. I have inline fans, box fans, desktop fans, can fans, squirrel fans, everything. Moving enough air is not a problem, but I have serious concerns about overdrying the outside of the buds before the insides properly dry/cure.

I am planning on opening the vents and keeping a fan blowing air around the bottom of the tent, there won't be any air blowing directly on the plants. I'm going to dry the plants in the tent.

At what humidity should I take the plants from the tent and into the jars or bags to cure? I'm planning on putting the probe for the meter amongst the plants so I can monitor things. Assuming I want to cure until I approach 60% humidity, I would 'burp' the container to lower the humidity, right? Isn't that the idea behind 'burping', to get the plant to dry consistently?

What's the one single thing I can do to prevent hay flavor?

edit: Should I buy big bags and just bag the whole cola once I trim it? Isn't another benefit of leaving the sticks on to monitor 'doneness' via how the stems break?

Curing Does anyone know how many days after chop down it takes for chlorophyll to stop producing and all the rest of the biological activity going on in the buds to cease. I slowed down drying by making the cure room air tight and using a digital humidifier set at 65% humidity. the humidifier blows into a box fan which blows all over the room (not directly on plants). it has been a week now and the smaller stems are starting to snap. I am ready to bag it up and start a 30 day curing process but I dont Rating: 5
