When the buds are removed from the screens they get moved either into large tupperware or the black garden trays and are covered to slow the drying and draw out internal moisture from the buds. Buds are turned daily and allowed varying levels of air depending on the moisture content.

After a week or so of slow drying in trays they are sealed in tupperware and burped until the enclosed hygrometer reads between 55%-58% humidity.
At that point, the buds are vacuum sealed into 1/2oz and 1oz jars and continue to cure in the jar until sold. Sealed at a higher humidity will risk molding in the jar, while humidity under 55% will be over dry and prevent the bud from curing.

Since we only sell prepackaged sealed jars, the bud can not over dry in the display case before it reaches the patient.

Hope that helps...curing in Colorado can be tricky due to the extreme lack of humidity, especially in winter.
