you should never "dry" your buds completely to the point where it crumbles. Your supposed to keep them fresh like a cigar... and just like a cigar when bud drys too much its harsh. U want it to be dense, resinous, and soft. this is in the curing curing has nothing to do with drying out the buds, its the process of releasing all the chemicals and chlorophyll that gives u that "taste" when u burn. So i kno becuase its worked for me, i dry it for a week upsidedown tree and all manicured in 60% humididty in the dark with air circulation from day one decreasing. after that i toke some, and cure some. Curing isnt drying. Ur supposed to cure at 70% humidty so u dont loose any moisture. u store it the same. Curing is easy effortless but time consuming, most ppl dont even bother but they are really missing out. Its easy to over dry and u have to be careful. Take a jar, put bud it jar, open jar once a day to air out for 15 mins. smoke when ever. keep in dark
Make sure its not "wet" u can tell its still wet when u dont get a cherry burn. u dont want mold. if u see signs of mold. fuck everything and dry it asap. People if heat destroys ur tricomes why would u ever heat ur bud???
