Q:
just so i have a basic understanding of "correctly" harvesting, from what i hear is you hang the manicured buds upside down in a dark room for 1-2 days to dry out, with indirect airflow from a small fan or something. after this, do they go to brown bags (to remove excess moisture?) or do they go straight to mason/canning jars for curing?
well is there any dice to the brown bag idea or is it basically...hang in dark until stems snap, then to jars to cure?
The brown bag technique is going to dry them a little faster, and make the nugs look tighter, but I'm kind of a quality control freak (if it wasn't evident) and I like to preserve every single trich as best I can. And as with any technique that speeds drying, if you use the brown bag tek quality of smoke will be reduced.
