    My plan on drying and curing process. Tell me what you thing

    Hello again. I know i am asking all the time but want to be sure for what i am doing. Thistime i want to ask about drying, curing phase.Firstly i am gonna put a black trash plastic bag over my plant to prevent sun light and keep it in dark for 24hours before harvest to increase the quality as i read on the internet. After i am gonna cut the plant from the bottom and cut the big leaves leaving only sugar leaves and bud on it . Theni will hang it in a room with temps between 60-64 degrees and humidity 55 to 65.I read that this allows a more slow drying process with the best results. I will dry about seven days . Nowi read that before starting the curing process there is something called sweating buds . I read that i have to put the buds in a paper bag for a day to let tha inside moisture out.Then i put my buds in a jar with humidity around 60 for about a month with opening it to get fresh air. WELL THATS MY PLAN🙂

    I want to hear your opinion and tell me if smthing is wrong or what i shoupd do for the best result.

    Looks good but the trash bag thing will make zero difference. In fact there is a chance it could have a negative effect. I've also never used the paper bag route but since the buds should be mostly dry I don't see that as a problem.

      Yeah.... you're supposed to have some air circulation.... a bag would probably encourage mold... if you want a period of darkness just unplug yer lights!!

    I wouldn't do the plastic bag suffocating idea either - if anything it would probably cause mold to begin.

      This. The bag will be a humid environment, skip the bag.

    Don’t forget to add a small fan in the drying space just to help air move around. Don’t blow across the plants...just near them.
    There are 3 things you must check everyday when growing in hydro:
    1) Water level (How much h2o is she drinking in 24hrs)
    2) pH level (change over 24hrs)
    3) ppm/EC level (How much food is she eating in 24hrs)
