Hey Dabs. I was wondering if you might be willing to share your drying/curing protocol? I don't seem to remember you ever covering it in your threads iirc... However I do remember you saying that the meds you produce are far superior to anything you've seen in the shops there in CO, so obviously that's peaked my interest. I just pulled down my first run, and don't wanna take any chances so am looking to some more advanced growers for advice. I've read the stickies on this, but the more perspective the better ya know? Looking for a way that produces the best bag appeal (smell, sight) while still being able to burn properly in joints, etc. Cheers.
I clip big branches and hang them. Keep my drying room @60%rh. the air in my basement gets all mixed up with the crazy fans blowing everywhere, so I just leave the door open and let the excess air blow into the room. No fans inside the dry room. Once everything is chopped down and hung up, I start going back through and hand trimming the big nugs, leaving them on the branches. I then rehang the trimmed nug branches when I'm done.
When the buds are dry, I chop them off the stems and I put them in 5 gallon buckets. About 1.5lbs per 5 gallon bucket, with a gamma air tight lid. 2 LARGE Boveda 62% packs in each bucket. Open the buckets and mix the buds up every day for a few weeks. Then I'll just seal em up for a month and the final product is mind numbing

Nice dude, thanks for the response.
I also picked up some Boveda 62 packs but haven't experimented with them yet... so it's okay to add them before the product is done curing? I wasn't sure if it was the type of thing that you only threw in after the cure was done to maintain good moisture, or if you could put it in it as it cures...
I like the idea of the air tight lid on 5 gal buckets. After drying on a rack I got a sterlite container and weather stripped it to try and make it airtight, and put the buds still on branches in there. After triming them up and clipping the buds from the branches I then put them in 1/2 gallon jars. Only problem is I only have 8 jars right now and can only fit a unit and a half total in them, so the 5 gal buckets seems more economical. I was actually looking at those lids today at HD and try to put it on a few of the buckets they had but couldn't get them to close? I dunno if I'm just retarded but I couldn't get it to actually screw on lol.
