A new approach to Curing

Glad to be of help welshweed, sharing what we learn is the genius of GWE.

Let us know how your harvest unfolds.

I harvested Pru the purple auto this morning! (much hand-wringing and angst before I took the plunge and chopped her)
Blodwen the blueberry auto needs another week I reckon.

welshweed I hear that the hand-wringing and angst at harvest actually increases the amount of THC in the buds. ;-}

I chopped the NL on 1 July and the colas I chose weighed in grams 33.5, 20.4 and 9.5.

I hung them in my lung room at 75°F & 60% RH. The only circulation is a small fan pointed at a far wall and whatever movement the tent exhaust fans create.
After 13 hrs they had lost between 35 & 38% of their starting weight.
However in the following 6 hrs they lost less than 10% of the remaining moisture weight.
I'll weigh them again tonight and tomorrow morning and see what happens.

PS buds are still soft, not crinkly feeling. They feel lightly moist but not just trimmed wet.

You are on the right track Catfish22, stick with it and let them dry till you can feel the little bud twigs snap. That's a solid signal to toss them into the jars.
