The sticking of buds together during curing is because you have crazy sticky icky. I do full plant hang dry for 14 days at 60/60 then I jar cured after for 2-4 weeks before I smoke and even after 4 weeks of curing and the hygrometers say 50-55% and the buds still stick like they're fresh. So just because your buds stick together doesn't mean it's too much moisture it could be because of prolific truchomes and Hugh levels of resin
@lee bolton correct it's the same process but you sweat to extend the process which most need help with. And mold is a concern but it's a also a concern if you jar it first.
LOL MOULD... I thought you lost it! I had to look it up. Mould Definition & Meaning - Merriam-Webster The meaning of MOULD is chiefly British spelling of mold. My OCD was off the charts for a bit..
The harvesting process in Colorado is so much different than the E coast. I was growing on a commercial scale in Col, so they would dry too quick. In NY, I had back to back great harvests, but my terps really suffered. Like you said, if the cannabis is sticking together, let em dry another 24. Yes 7 day min. I've never used silica packs, hydrometer, only a dehumidifier in NY for craft type grows.
There’s so much more to the whole process than 60-60 for two weeks. Sometimes it’s like 7-10 days. Finding out when you jar was the hardest part for me. It’s all about feel. The stem snap doesn’t always happen for me also.. thank you elaborating in detail this oh so critical part of the process!!! OneLove P! -NPK👊🏼😎
I like to throw the buds in a brown paper bag after harvest for the first night if they a little to moist, anyone else do this??? Is this OK? seems to work for me.
Good tip for anyone using those cheap mini hygrometers. Do not make the critical mistake of thinking they are 100% accurate. Test them with the salt/75% calibration test. Mine were all exactly 6% too high. E.g. true 75% actually shows as 81% and 60% on the hygrometer (you would think is perfect) is actually 54% and now over dried.
You made a very difficult vast diversified topis sound easy.Another lit vid!I find it better to overdry on the chop then add 62 percent bovedo terpene shield with the hygrometer.
I dry at 60 degrees for arond 11 days then take off the stalk and deleaf.Throw in a pint mason with the boveda it does keep the moisture at a constant level.must have.Silica packs keep dry.Honestly ever cure is different...ta know?
@@EoSxACB true mine reads 50 as well when that happens i add another and put a fresh one in 60 is perfect.Its easier than chopping early and battling with the moisture.
I got a number of Automatic Vacuum Coffee Canisters for the first few weeks of cure. Glass jars made for coffee but work great for our favorite plant. they have digital read outs for temperature and humidity and a built in vacuum pump to seal the jar and the best part and internal sensor keeping track of pressure within so when waste gas is extruded inside the pump kicks on meaning auto burping and less work for me, but my needs are small
Thanks for the great video love how in detail you went. For long-term storage in jars would you recommend a 58% humidity pack or a 62% we have ac, but live in a very humid climate during summer, however in winter our house can get quite dry
I’ve been growing for so long I grow, dry and cure on auto. I also can detect/smell the slightest hint of mould. That’s when the scope comes out. Mould is easy to see under a scope
the guys that make recharge use a 5 gallon bucket, timer , air pump and valve to automate curing. I've used fermenter lids for kimchi to cure. they are the exact same as "burp lids" except the seals are orange instead of green.
Thanks a ton for the info Bro! Awesome vid! I'm a first time grower and my auto's performed very well in the soil. Drying now.. stressful in attempting to maintain the 60-60 target points. I will definitely use your info in the cure stage.
I think you are very correct I do this with much successful results, I have bud 2 years old with a strong terp level and the bud smokes and taste is superior ( Holy Grail ) using this cure process is definitely the way to go! Keep up the true video content👍🏻🌱
Just harvested a SherbCake. Best flavor EVER! Dried on stick for 10 days, trimmed close leaf and even that was tasty. The bud is one week into jar cure, burped 2x daily. Once morning, once night. Buddies said it's like bubblegum! I got more hints of pina colada. Still a little harsh, but still in first week of cure.
How often should you burp after 2 months. I have my harvest curing in mason jars inside of a wine fridge. Temp avg 60f / Rh avg 60. I have 62% boveda packs inside. Thanks growmie!! Pigeons 420!!!!
I'm a novice , I use Boveda 62% relative humidity bags in my jars. Buds have been curing for 4 weeks with daily burps , how often should I burp and do I continue to use the Boveda bags . Thanks
Hi this my first time, But I have a jar right I've been burping them 2 times a week they're still little moist though and also it's started showing small signs of white hairs what can I do to act on that part as it's o ly 4 to 5 heads that have started building small white mold drew in the burping phase?
I line dry then into paper bags to finish out the dry then into jars w meters keep below 70 percent RHU open daily for first week or so depending on what the digits say cute few weeks then good bud is like ur cloths everything sticks to it smells odors exspecially that is why you cure the bud or they become vapors for mother earth.
Hey hoo said you have to keep them locked in a jar try a wicker basket next time you harvest bag's are for dealer's and it won't lose anything but bag it up and leave it lol it tastes old try that basket
I think I did something wrong with my harvest. My buds been in a mason jar for 6 weeks now. I decided to try some out but it mostly tasted like a plant and the aroma was not strong smelling at at. What do you think I did wrong.
hey pigeons! couple quick questions - how long is a 'burp'? Is it like taking a sip off a water bottle and putting the cap back on? or do you leave the lid off the mason jar for like a minute, 5min, 10min? Also, once your herb feels mostly cured and doesnt need daily burping anymore, do you need to burp again when your storage room humidity creeps up into the high 70s RH? Im dealing with this problem right now! Thanks man
I remove the lid typically for about 45 min to an hour.. Or until the buds have got that crunchy feeling again and arent damp. It varies depending on how damp they are but no less than 45 min for me
@@Pigeons420 The buds are already slightly crunchy (but not too crunchy/dry) when i jar them. So I want to burp out the bad gases until the buds start smelling sweet. Just trying to wrap my head around how long of a burp it takes to let the gases exchange. 45min might be right but that seems kinda long, i'll forget to put the lid back on for sure unless i set an alarm. Im guessing the first couple weeks after jarring are the most critical, thats when you can tell the flavor is still developing. actually 45min isnt that long, but this is probably highly debatable. Take a look at all the cure vids, everybody says give it a burp but nobody really specifies to amount of time the burp takes at this stage of the cure. My typical burps are about 5min after I tumble the jar to separate any buds that are sticking. But did I give the gas enough time to seep out, idk.
I disagree. You can never bring back thc and terps if you over dry. You can however just take the buds out of the jars and dry for a few hours on a line or mesh. As long as you can control the humidity and use common sense, check regularly you will not get mold.
Does anyone end up having buds that have the same density as buds you get at your local shops. How do they get such tight dense buds. Mine always seem more softer and more visible leaf? I also don’t burp, I just use humidity packs?
@@radseed9802 Thanks for for your comment @Rad Seed. Not sure what PGR chemicals do, I just know when a I break open a bud from a shop and I break mine open, I can visibly see leaf structure that I usually peel off, but a shops bud is always a small dense bud. I maintain all the correct temps and humidities and feedings.
Thanks for reminding me I have a 1 gallon jar is that bad? And the rest is in instant coffee jars. It's got to last me till I get more grown I gave up buying weed from people who ripped me off charge me I don't know way too much. Tell me it's $500 an ounce oh it's really good whatever it was nothing's worth that much so now I have Gorilla Glue number four enough to last me like I got 240 G from two plants and that was a bad Harvest cuz it became a hermaphrodite with a bananas
There’s a thing called Grove Bags that automatically maintain the perfect humidity inside by allowing moisture to diffuse through - and out of - the bag. No need to ever open the bag. So much easier :)
Worth mentioning I like to break down big buds before cure for more even cure as the big nugs always carry moisture , they look Great eye candy , but to many times ended up with gas petrol smell bad taste Even sized nugs better cure 😅

Thank you Pigeons! This video is exactly what I needed, and I do mean exactly. Have a good day friend.
I love how this is explained.The part that really gets me nervous is the first five days of smelling any type of hay
Used Grove bags for the first time on my last grow, dry, sweat the buds, then straight into the bags, no burping whatsoever!
I will also be using these now after I tried it and it worked amazingly.
Sweating?
@@npklife4205 yeah!! This drying/curing process has been the smoothest so far for me.

It also adds moisture keeps it at a constant moisture content.

Are the smaller buds picked further down the stem less potent than the larger end

Two months is premium storage i wouldn't ever open it unless your consuming.Long term storage refrigerator is ideal.
Thanks growmie
So, ita better dry 1..2 days more than jar buda 1, 2 days before? I mean.... Dryer buda are " better" than moist bida to jar, same flavor and aroma?
I'm a novice , I use Boveda 62% relative humidity bags in my jars. Buds have been curing for 4 weeks with daily burps , how often should I burp and do I continue to use the Boveda bags . Thanks

I’ve heard of water curing what are your thoughts on that?
Happy Canada day P
Outstanding
Try Grove Bags, P. No burping.
are those humidity controller packs worth it
1st harvest of any sustenance or weight 1 bud dried is 1 oz alone having a hard time with getting the cure humidity percentage down to the right point

Great video and information very understandable , 🎊 Happy 4th of July Pigeons 42O 🎊
Hey 'P', I know during the drying cycle that it needs to be dark. How critical is it to be as dark as possible? What does the dark actually do?
Photosynthetic matter grows in light and stores in dark.
Not as important in veg. However even a small led indicator light can cause your plants to herm. So complete darkness in flower is necessary forsure.
Sorry gang, my bad. I omitted "harvest - drying cycle".
Light degrades trichomes if I understand your question
When u bud wash does it seem to dry faster than not washing?
Hey hoo said you have to keep them locked in a jar try a wicker basket next time you harvest bag's are for dealer's and it won't lose anything but bag it up and leave it lol it tastes old try that basket
I think I did something wrong with my harvest. My buds been in a mason jar for 6 weeks now. I decided to try some out but it mostly tasted like a plant and the aroma was not strong smelling at at. What do you think I did wrong.
Drying too fast in the initial stage can result in a grassy taste
You go plant man!
Tomorrow and I'll be at a 6 week cure!
Mould or mold ? Is that the Canadian way to spell it? Genuinely curious
What causes yellowing on leafs of your plant when grown out doors looks like its burnt on some leafs but its like under sun light any advise
Are they on the lower part of the plant
Thirst
The buckets i use are big enough 4 the whole plant and have a quick release top 4 burping and u can shake the buds 👊🍻🍿
well done
At what humidity should your buds be when you chop
60-62%

What about the light when burping the jars if the light hurt the trichomes
Brief light doesn't hurt.I wouldn't store it under light.Any organic matter that grows with photosynthesis should be kept in its opposition...solar.
This may be a dumb question or I may just be stoned, but are Rob and pigeons related?
Missouri finally had Rec and I got a couple different flavors and they was all bunk and dry no smell or taste 😒
Ok you asked. I just subscribed
Do you need to burp if they are for edibles?

yes, they need to be calibrated. Dont ask me how :D
