As for the drying it all depends on how dense the buds are. Just check em' out every other day or so for your desired dryness. As for curing it is a must if you plan to keep it for yourself! Just put the buds loosly into mason jars and open for about 20 min. a day for two weeks.

Good luck on the grow!:thumbsup:

I don't think the jars need to say "mason" on them, but curing in some type of sealable container seems to be favored. I use stainless steel and ceramic cannisters with sealable bail lids. They're cheap, inert, and don't attract any attention on my kitchen counter, since they're mixed in with the cannisters of flour, rice, sugar, etc.

Congrats on getting them this far!

TO CURE!!!!!!!!

curing DOES NOT increase potentcy....at all ...but it does make it smell better and les harsh to smoke and better quality of the bud when finished..any air tight container will do just let it breath a little each day..the air has to have an exchange everyday for the curing to happen

I dry for 2-3 weeks with no fan up side down in paper bags..after I shake the bag a little after 2 weeks and it sounds pretty dry I open the bag take out bud trim fan leaves you dont want on it " I leave everything on the plant to dry it cause it makes the plant dry slower this way with no fan and in paper bag it takes 2-3 weeks with NO mold ever so far" trim it up and I then throw in glass jars, I dont use mason ones , I use pickle jars and jelly jars. then i put the jars back in the dark for the cure. everyone has a different way ...this is my way ..right or wrong ...doesnt matter ... always worked for me with no ill effects...time limit doesnt really matter either as long as its been in the jar for atleast 2 weeks its ok but I have some still in the jars from 4 months ago...and there smelling sweet ...im never in a hurry with my stuff so I get to it when I wanna smoke it ..... just think why take all this time to grow it as best you can and RUSH drying and curing just to sample it or catch a buzzz...somthing BETTER always comes to those who wait....peace

Take a decent amount out and just smoke on that while the rest cures. Wait till the buds feel dry and arent spongy, also make sure the stems snap when bent. I would cure for atleast a month, it seems like the month mark is the best if you arent patient, its worth it!
