Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 жов 2024
- If you're ready to elevate your cannabis skills, knowledge, palate, service mastery and assessment ability, the 2022 Ganjier Certification Course is now open for enrollment at ganjier.com
Curing is the process that involves controlling the temperature and humidity for a specific period of time to allow for chemical stabilization of harvested cannabis flower.
In this brief tutorial, noted breeder and Ganjier instructor Kevin Jodrey breaks down the ideal parameters - including temperature and humidity as well as considerations of scale - for craft growers to produce optimal product.
Kevin is one of those special individuals that can perfectly convey pertinent information in the most easily digestible way so that even the laymen can understand what's being discussed. A true genius of the Cannabis world.
Kevin needs a biography Netflix special all raw unscripted footage about his life and how he started in the cannabis industry and what he does /has done/dude is inspirational would love to meet him smoke and talk the different cultivars I’ve experienced
Yes!
He will soon, people of his esteem do so too share, he is a giver!!!
lmao maybe once cannabis is federally legal in the united states
I couldn't agree more...join the ganjier course and imagine the chance would arise...at least that's what I'm hopin!¿!😉😜😋
I'd love to crack a bud or two of my very own humble uk grown sunkissed organic herb with the whole team too...share the love...One love 💜
Aggred.
This man is one of my favorite cannabis professionals in the industry today
I been growing for 30 years indoor and outdoor and consider myself a pro and I still like listening to this cat.
Huge fan of Kevin here, I think I’ve watched every single UA-cam video with him in it even the ones that don’t have his name in the title. It’s so fascinating to listen to his analysis and his opinions about the cannabis industry and just the plant itself. He inspires me to keep learning and keep getting better at growing these magnificent plants.
Be great if someone made a kev playlist
Nocano got so lucky having a dad who understands sport performance and biological performance of plants. Talk about a well rounded education
Kevin always explains things perfectly.
I'm in awe of your intellect and communication skills Kevin. It's always a pleasure to listen to you on your videos.. Thank you!
Every time I listen to this man there's so much you learn thank you
Hey Kevin you are truly a stand-up guy in the Cannabis world that has definitely paid his dues gaining knowledge all through prohibition Johnny and master-blaster grew up the same way with more than 40 years of Prohibition under our belt we now have the green machine as a legal product for small Growers to make their own concentrates in a safer manner we get requests to come to California all the time for many local Growers unfortunately the epidemic has stopped us if we're ever out that way you would be the first person we would try to contact and hopefully you would accept our invitation to see you you are definitely a hero of ours and a very intelligent man we would love to chat about the old and the new have a great day Kevin
It's always good to hear seasoned experts extolling knowledge about Marijuana. Thank you for the services you provide.
Thanks to Kevin for his guidance over these years. I have been able make friends and family happy
You the man Kev
Happy Holidaze Ganjier crew
He is the Cana man! 100 percent the most educated ganja farmer I have ever had the pleasure of listening to..keep the knowledge coming!
Kevin has always best informations.👌👍
Man Kevin is a wizard at his craft ❤
Some people just have a confidence about them that makes them enjoyable to listen to. That along with a good voice and obviously they are knowledgable
Thanks man! Been following you for a few years now, started with 'meet the breeders!' And any and everything I could their after... It's so refreshing for me to absorb your incredible knowledge that you share so beautifully openly...the technical know how so challangingly affirms and grows what I'm already doing...can't wait to become a certified ganjier and expand my gnarly tree life some more...
"free your mind and your arse will follow!" (Funkadelic)...One love...
Kevin, you’re an absolute Legend my friend
I appreciate you dude, thanks for all the top notch information over the years.
Always enjoy listening to Kevin 🌞
Thanks Kevin for all your contributions and making time to educate the community! Much respect..
God bless you sir. I tried teaching this art, but big biz wasn’t having it. Lake County, California. Nor Cal baby. Love your shit!
Kevin is a Genuine Asset to the Marijuana Community. Humboldt should name a City after him
He was selling mite infested clones. Not sure if he's as good of a cultivator as he is explaining the process. Have you ever seen his nursery?
His reputation in Humboldt isn't as good as elsewhere........
Love the video and advice. As a home grower I've noticed after 3 weeks you really get an uptick in flavor an smell profiles. 2 months is ideal for me though.
Best way I have found AND it’s a flawless method. Simple too. Cut all fans off, minimal air circulation beneath plants and keep H at 60 and Temps at 60-65. All while being completely dark. 7-10 days then go to a jar. Crack once a day. Cured in for me in about 60 days. ALL while dark. Happy Harvesting Fam!
Have you heard of Brennenstuhl Moisture Detector. Stick the prongs in the stem and when it hits 12% it's ready for a grove bag, a good size bag that lets it work its magic and let the nugs breath releasing oxygen so no burping required. Not tried either but thinking about it and no need for 62% boveda either.
@@arahant69 nope. I haven’t. I cut the main stalk and fans. From there it’s above mentioned conditions for 7-10. I don’t use ANYTHING else. No need to spend money where you don’t need to. I’d rather buy quality genetics from my breeder.
How long do you leave jar cracked open?
Tnx,,,for this simple explanation,,it truly is.......I'm learning this,after 3 years,,,and this recipe,,,is real world process,,,...in a small grow situation.......cardboard boxes,,paper bags,,,,to glass jars,,,,123.........peace,,,land o' lakes,wi.
Always educating 💪😎Thanks for all you do Kevin
This is why i miss the medical era in california where most shops grew their own in house. Smaller facilities and smaller grows mean each plant gets more attention and they’re paying attention to all the details to be competitive with other shops. Growers put in that extra time, watch for variances, and would do proper flushes to get that clean white ash. I remember when GG4 dropped and i could pick up a nug simply by touching it and i remember sticking my face in jars and smelling so many flavors and nuances. Stuff was loud!
All these small ops were indoors and everything was controlled.
Fast-forward to now - growers don’t make money so they have to cut corners, grow in huge outdoor/greenhouse facilities, not worry about flushing or proper curing [lab testing is utter bs], and a lot seem to throw their nugs on trays to capture kief so they can sell another product dimishing the flowers’ smoke potential… and they still have to sell packs to the east coast on the downlow just to stay in the game.
Bring back the medical small grow-ops!
I also voted No in 2018 for rec because everyone i knew who grew in small ops told me the legislation is favoring tourists rather than patients. Yea, they also all got raided right at the same time it went recreational. The recreational market you have to be the big bucks just to play and you won’t survive against the big corporate pharma😔
So much knowledge dropping from Kevin, thanks bro
complete expert! I love the info he has to share
Patience is a virtue
Soild info.
1 thing I've noticed over the years. If I can keep my temps at optimal conditions the vast majority of time I never feel the need to use a humidity pack..
Excellent breakdown of curing.
You understand once you grow and cure one time. Its much better than the stuff that was a year old when I used to buy. Which was dry and crumbly with not a lot of taste. My weed is pliable and the taste sticks to the tongue and does a good job in the high department.
I have a question for you if you would. As a long term cannibis user i note a huge difference in the high from the past. With today’s high thc why do I feel I’m chasing the dragon to get a high from the past. I would like to think with today’s hi test I shouldn’t have to do the chase. I get the eating vs. smoking but still quiet confused. I would admit my lungs r loaded up
I remember when ole Jodrey came to Arcata in the early 90s. Every one at HSU thought he was a narc 😂
What's the deal with the mite infested clones???
Another great video, thanks for sharing your knowledge
I love this kind of show..cant stand the business end..
Measure active water (water activity) along with moisture content at commercial scale if your budget allows it. Get the number around 0.6 and your are hitting the sweet spot where no microbial growth will occur. You will find that all different flowers hold different end moisture content in relation to it's active water content if you are trying to get as "food safe" as possible. Probably more useful for the Canadian large scale producers out there.
Bud will ALWAYS be better either home grown or craft produced, regardless of dry/cure methodology.
Great Work!
Excellent information definitely sharing with the Crew
What are your thoughts on cryo-curing compared to traditional methods of curing?
Awesome information
Kevin jodrey the GOAT 🐐
Great knowledge! Thank you!!
I'm slowly starting to understand that growing is like making a movie.
Thank you thank you! All the retail stuff is WAY too dry.
I learn everything from this guy he only speaks facts
When i see kevin i click. Would be great if they did a netflix bio on him.
Thanks Kevin
Woah! I didn't know about the temperature.
Love this guy
Kevin is The Ganjiest!
Does it hurt to rehydrate and is it better to store real dry or not so dry
Duuuude! So, my mentor has been growing in the desert for over a decade, her stuff is always bomb, but soo dry! I found out that when she cures, she removes her preoduct from the jar and airs it out like shes at sea level in NY! Mkay? So, then, my first grow, i took notes. I DO NOT REMOVE THE BUDS TO BURP HERE IN THE HIGH DESERT!! A 5 second burp, lids back on and tumble to stir settled herb. I have been praised for my end result for flavor and freshness by my mentor and many others! 3 days on the line and its ready for a jar, so humidity control may be rec'm'd, but i suspect nature does its thing and if youre paying attention amd taking enough care from start to finish it shows. -talk to your plants! (Thx Kevin, learned lots this season!)
Peace For All Weed Grower 💨🌱
Though Kevin
I have a question
What is the difference between a wet trim and a dry trim ,
Do these techniques effect curing ?
thanks my man!
Idk, I started growing in a hot environment. Temperature would be 80 in the house with the AC on so I had to get a dual exhaust AC for the room (if you know you know)
So anyways, there was no cool spots in that house so I would cure in my dresser drawer for a couple months and it would come out AMAZING. To the point I understand most growers still haven't figured it out. With that said, once I moved to a better environment (stable) better lighting/etc and while I'm doing mostly different strains the quality of the cure has dropped off a little. I can't get that AMAZING level that I hit routinely before. I'm getting bigger yields but not necessarily better. Only difference in my cure process is it's in the 60s now instead of 80+ degrees.
So you see how this videos information has me asking questions?
Very informative 👍
Well said ,Thanks
thank you very much,,my god i could never recll all that info in my head i got to write shit down,,,great stuff man...
I Love the older smoke like skunk
🔥🔥 great knowledge
60/60 baby!
Is is normal to get bad anxiety with pot?? I tried it ten years ago at a party it was my first time and it was in cookies. They were cookies from a dispensary and the people at the part got mad at me because I ate all the cookies probably like 10 cookies and I had a horrible night and thought I was dieing ha. They said later it was because I had too much. So what is a good amount when you smoke to not get all weird. I just drink and I know that 3 beers is good but with weed every one saying different stuff. Was my experience bad because I had edibles for the first time and too many or what
You had 10 edibles ofc it was that which led to a bad experience, too much of anything is bad. Just smoke a small joint (like 0.3 of a g) take a few puffs see how you feel if not enough have abit more but if you still feel that same anxious feeling then weed is probs not for you bro. Plus drinking is not always best when smoking, it can make it worse sometimes so keep that in mind.
"Satisfy the End-Users understanding "...😂😂😂😂😂GOOD LUCK with That!
Curing is a about keeping the bud sme wat moise, as long as it's sticky and soft not dry and crumble, you can lock it off and open once a week
Not soft ...but being soft means it's fluffy
I was hoping Kevin would give an ideal humidity for bud in long term storage. Boveda are 65% so I guess that's likely about right. I put my bud in big glass jars (about 2 gallon) and burp frequently until they're under 70% (hygrometer in each) and then transfer to masons and burp less often. I haven't lost any so I guess that's about right. I have some two year old bud that's still really decent to smoke.
Boveda has 62% packs, I've used them for a few years. Keeps material ~60-63% RH. I too have 1-2 year cures that average around 58-60%, but that's a personal preference mate
Boveda and humidity packs longterm actually does not preserve terpenes. I have seen them used in huge operations in sealed containers.
Everyone is using curetubes, n2pack cans in cold storage, and groveBags has a lot of good reviews. I think n2pack many month old properly cured flower is impressive and like it is fresh. I have grown and harvested in Denver indoor ops and Oregon outdoor acreage. Boveda just doesnt work longterm, it just doesnt help you longterm.
@@GordonLittell Yes, integra boost packs have been out longer and started these with cigars long ago (and it has a freshness indicator that turns another color when it goes stale). Boveda is typically sold most in the 62, correct. I do not think I have even seen many of the others, never seen a 65.
Most ops now are doing the 60F and 60RH standard, started a few years back.
Also, I have tried some very old metrc dated flower that was good from nitrogen n2pack cans (high altitude denver flower) from Scott Reach's indoor operation. He uses a special 8th canning machine and I am impressed at every dated flower I tried from his farm. It seems to really help longterm keep things fresh, and maintain proper moisture (even stored properly at high altitudes which usually dry out faster)
@@dertythegrower I don't use boveda packs long term. I usually use them for a few days to a week to stabilize to 62 then I pull the packs. I did a long term test with the same product, the one without the boveda stunk up the room while the other was more earthy and muted. I agree that humidity packs are best for short periods 😁
6 weeks in blacked out glass on glass cure after a 14 day 60 percent humidity w/65 f temp is Perfecto .....my weed always tastes and smells like candy ....
Stay blazed growmies.
Man those walls are trippy 🤪
thanks for the wisdom. bro we gotta meet. take care
Please do a side by side study on nitrogen curing.
I know you guys have enough samples ha.
Remember to measure the harshness, I know it preserves stored bud longer but I never got past the hot harsh smoke
He said in another video he doesn't like nitro, it degrades faster after being re-exposed to oxygen.
@@joekunedo not surprised....twenty years ago fools were finishing with heavy N guano intentionally to attain a greener for longer look but the smoke was hot and harsh with zero potential for remediation jajajajajaja well they remediated but it was still super hot and harsh.
@@Aj_470 I didn't know that, interesting.
Awesome
Ganja genius straight up
How low in temperature can you go before it degrades the produce?
A lower temperature won't degrade the plant material. Many people curing the 50's degree range. If the room is too cool it can take longer to cure. The key is to use a dehumidifier and set it around 60%. This will keep the drying space dry even though the air temperature is low. Many people think heat is the way to cure, but it's actually more about humidity. If the air is too dry the plant matter will dry too quickly which degrades the quality of the finish product. Some of the best herb in Humboldt is slow dried for 2-4 weeks at a low temperature and with humidity in the 60% range. You could go with a higher humidity level to slow the process down even more, but once the humidity level get below 50% its curing too fast.
GENIUS
Man, I jar and cure. But I can’t seem to last more then two weeks and the jars are empty. I need some kind of procrastination technique 😩
Simple grow larger plants
@@calebsmith9847
Lol that was 2yrs ago. I've honed my craft since then. I'm selling now cos I pull 3lb every 2 month's. Side hustle
You refer to the "flowers" several times. Are you curing male plants, or did you mean "heads"?
liked and subscribed 🌱🔥😀
Arjan at Green House Seeds harps on curing in paper bags for best taste.
Well said 👏🏼❤️🌎🔥
Open Query:
I am in pursuit of 'greasy weed'. I don't know if that specific result is a genetic trait, an effect of a particular growing environment, or if it comes down to drying and curing a specific way. I've been blessed with that in the past, but inconsistently at best.
At the time, I was hopping between MG soilless mix and RDWC with Peter's 20-20-20 & 10-50-15 nutes. Don't hurt yourself busting that gut, but I did get excellent results. Of course, Marc Emery provided some great genetics, back then. Notwithstanding the beefs he may have earned from his suppliers.
Drying was never specifically regulated and curing only occurred whenever I opened the Rubbermaid. Ugh!
Note to self: KEEP RECORDS (moron) 😁
I'm hoping to learn a 'proven' method [or combination] that will produce 'greasy weed' for me, consistently.
Greasy Weed = Saturates the roach, black like molasses and often ends up staining your tongue with little boogers of resin.
In the bag, it is ready to smoke and yet, still feels resilient [if not down right MOIST].
Thanks to all for any hints, clues, and/or shared experiences. Peace
#HealingOfTheNations
Too much high of nutes and wrong ratios.
@@dalanwanbdiska6542 Is that your recipe for Greasy Weed? If yes, I'll have to give that unorthodox method a try.
Thank you for your valuable contribution.
I would love to ask him question's for about an hour or so.
Enrollment is currently open for our 2022 Ganjier Certification course, where, as part of our live assessment training, you would get in-person instruction from Kevin and be able to ask him anything. www.ganjier.com
I have like a quarter that been sitting out for a week hits so good tho. Not much flavor
I overdrived my last batch. It wasn't terrible and it's still cured nicely. However, The strain I just harvested today, that white widow I don't think I'm going to have this problem LOL
when you cure your flower amazing things happen once you have done it you won't look bak.mr jodrey i jope you can bring bak that old 80's skunk man👍
Any one heard heard of Brennenstuhl Moisture Detector. Stick the prongs in the stem and when it hits 12% it's ready for a grove bag, a good size bag that lets it work its magic and let the nugs breath releasing oxygen so no burping required. Not tried either but thinking about it and no need for 62% boveda either.
Brains blown info boom!
Dry flower is a huge issue in CO. Top shelf at most shops is just a joke as nothings cured or stored properly. Profile's just gone. My personal grow attempts, with proper curation; have yielded equal/better results (I'd consider myself an educated novice). Just move to CO? Look into Boveda products, they help.
I prefer it here. Nothing worse than taking a great dry cure to the coast and watching it sponge up and become unsmokable
60% humidity??? can you say mold in under 2 hours??
Grove bags work well
🔥me☝️ 🌬💨PuFF its MagicMan!! Listen close kids…this man is “TheMan” and will give you GREAT Advice. ✌️💚🖖
Kevin at the Treehouse Lounge! Sharing the wisdom.
He's the Paul Stamets of ganja.
🙏🏻
Burping? It's called sweating , it's a short cut.its used to draw the moisture out faster so you can dry in under 7 days.best drying method is hang dry in a room with the room humidity being the same humidity as buddy in the video says...oh ya also vent the drying room every couple days with exhaust fan ,might not be necessary but lots of wet weed raises humidity obviously and dehumidifier can handle but I like to just replace stale air.also airflow helps but can dry the outside faster so don't put fans directly onto the weed to try and speed up
2 weeks is great, curing is 80% the quality of elite grown bud.
🌴😎💯
Yeah here on the big island is a little different lol. Especially commercial growing. Hawaii fire
