Hey guys I had about 6-7 plants outdoors this year and one made it thru all the way. I got some nice purple bud trimmed and hung up in the attic. Take a look at my pics ;). Can you please tell me what I should do next I would like to be able to smoke them in about 2 weeks. I want to try drying and curing a portion of my crop. I looked up many youtube videos but they didnt get into much details.
Can anyone please help me with this:

How many hours/days to dry the buds in the attic?

Curing: How many hours in the jars and how many hours out?

Thanks for looking at my thread :greenstars:

Thanks for the replies guys my buds are 100% purple no green at all :jump: . The strain is "purple power" I got it because it was best suited for colder climates such as Ireland. The place I got it from is Sensi Seeds and they sent it discreetely to me hidden inside a "editted" ;).

Me again,
I read the that guide before but you need a humidity meter. I do not have one yet and it maybe too late by the time it comes if I order from the net. What I am looking for is someone to tell me from their experience how many days do they dry their buds before curing? Also when i start to cure how many hours should I keep them in the jar and how many out ? I just want to be safe of mold as this is my first ever grow and first ever harvest :watchplant: . Please help out guys I dont want to ruin my bud. :thank you:

I want to try cure all of it but I will keep like a third or quarter with no curing just in case. I dont have any more pics today but I can get more for you guys tomorrow. I just harvested yesterday! (Sep 19th)

Like the powers that be don't know that particular trick. Get real folks, I was getting seeds like that a decade ago, it's not exactly super stealthy anymore. :tiphat:

To answer your question, I do the majority of my trimming while wet and cut down large branches, hang til the stem just snaps and the outside of the bud feels dry to the touch, then burp in the jars for a few days to a week, then seal for the cure...

jd4083 i read that 3-4 days should be enough drying to start curing. How many hours do I keep the buds in the jars between "burps" ?
And how long are these "burps" ment to be ?
Thanks ;)

Yeah your right.

Why do they even waste the time then? Just drop them in the mail. The powers to be don't care.
I think this one will help now.

And you can use this one as your harvest grow and you have more bud to store.
This is a good thread on the process of curing.
