Curing question for Raco and Sativa growers - Ace Seeds - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

four seasons · 10-12-2009, 01:49 AM

I was wondering about the super cured colas Raco has posted on several occasions. I havnt seen such fine curing on most of the other colas I see on these forums.
How do you and others achive such a richly cured final product. The cloriphyl free, golden redish brown hues look simply delicious.
I usually just "glass jar cure" but I never get the rich earth tones I see on Racos nugs.
Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks

Nice looking colas of OE ...

Yes, Raco has some nice looking cured colas and I too would like to hear about his process!

Great post!

That paper bag is going to dry them out quite fast

Curious to hear Raco's method as well

However, I would chop at the base .. hang the entire plant upside down for 3-5 days - until the branches snap ... then trim and jar

Nice looking nugs

Long flush and a long cure too.

Depending on how much I have I usually cut and hang for a week. Brown bag it for a week and then sweat cure it in glass for a couple of weeks.

How much do you pay,guys?

1k??

old paper,170 yrs old?...is the trick

I carefully wrap each tip ...j/k

Nice Orient Express,looks exactly like some I grew out in 2005
cure it well!

I´m guessin that you live in an humid place...(damn,I´ve even seen dubongs in your pics lol!)
how high is humidity over there?

Here we hang the plants for a long time( two months at least) in a proper place...humidity is always high and the plants dry very slowly (depending on the place,of course)

Here´s one of those colombian of the n+2 generation slowly dryin
the date is wrong..it should read XI instead of X lol!
