Cure the Buds
Once the buds are dry and the small stems snap rather than bend, they are ready for curing. Place the dried buds in sealed glass jars, filling them only about 70-80% full to allow for air circulation. Store the jars in a cool, dark place with a temperature around 65-70°F (18-21°C) and a humidity level between 55-65%. Open the jars once a day for the first week to release any excess moisture and allow fresh air into the jars. Subsequently, open the jars less frequently.
Monitor and Store
During the curing process, monitor the buds for any signs of mold or mildew. If you notice any, remove the affected buds
immediately. Curing typically takes around two to four weeks, but some growers prefer longer curing periods for enhanced flavor and potency. After the curing process, the cannabis buds should be dry, well-cured, and ready for consumption or storage.
Remember, the specific conditions and preferences may vary depending on factors such as strain, climate, and personal preference. It's essential to research and adapt these steps to best suit your particular cultivation environment and goals.
