How To Cure Your Cannabis Harvest

Tips, Tricks

1. love your curing video & technique!
2. have you ever put the flowers in jars with gauge reading 70? I have a few that are and it all seems fine so far. I'm in the ca central valley, sept, nov, dec.
3. Hey mate. thx 4 u help man! I learned something there.
   Though I would prefere less talk - especially after just smoking it ;)
4. Great stuff I've never seen anyone go so in depth on the anaerobic bacteria or ideal humidity ranges for curing. Daps my friend!
5. Luckily, as nature would have it, when salt and water (NaCl and H2O for you studious types), are in a saturated solution at equilibrium, the resultant humidity is 75%. This gives a fantastic reference point to calibrate our hygrometer. There is an easy way to determine if your hygrometer is accurate. Here's the procedure you should use: you need a ziploc bag, a screw-on beer bottle cap (or other small container) a small amount of salt (regular 'ole table salt), and water.
   Place the salt in the bottle cap (or other small container).
   Dampen the salt with water. Do not put so much in that the salt gets "sloppy". You want a damp pile of salt in the bottle cap.
   Place both the hygrometer and the bottle cap full of damp salt in the ziploc bag and seal it well. (It is important not to let air on or out while the test is going on.)
   Keep it like this for over 8 hours.
   After 8 hours in the damp salt environment, the actual humidity inside the bag will be 75%. Compare it to your hygrometer, your hygrometer should also read 75%. If not, you will then know exactly how far off your hygrometer is. If it's off, note the amount and direction that it actually reads and be sure to add or subtract that amount when reading the hygrometer. If the hygrometer has a control to adjust it (either the needle or the display), you can set the hygrometer to 75% immediately after the test.
6. Great video! I've adopted Chester's method and looking forward to the results, will post when they are available!
   Meanwhile... anyone able to recommend a reliable hygrometer? Bought 4 at Petco & they're giving me different answers. Right now they're sitting in a ziploc bag with a bottlecap of salt water, and they're supposed to hit 75% relative humidity. I'm getting from 68 to 77. the other 2 are sitting at 70%. I'd go for 2of4, but they're 5% lower than what they're supposed to go. So just add 5% when I do the reading? (can calibrate them)
   Driving me a little nuts right now, need to know what to trust! Any advice is appreciated! Thanks
7. If you over dry your buds try putting a half dollar or so sized piece of orange peel in the jar to give it back some moisture
8. Man you are the best teacher there ever was.
9. hey man I need your help if not busy
10. does anyone use boveda to cure? im trying it out i just jared my cash crop last night idk if i should burp the buds since i am using the boveda? any ideas guys? would love to hear
11. Great direction, thank you! Beautiful!!
12. are b62 good to use?
13. If my city is 72% humidity do you think I need to buy a humidifier or a dehumidifier?? I haven't tested the humidity in the room I'll be drying in (in about a week) .. Or what should I do first, go buy the humidity testers from Petco that u use ?
14. QUESTION CHESTER>.....great vid taught me a few things , I like to jar between 72 and 78 humidity then burp them daily till it drops to 70 , then go once a week or even 2 . What concerns me it your statement about letting in oxegen when burping too much ...stats that show proof of that harming the cure ??? ty
15. Just finished watching all the videos for this grow....excellent presentation and very informative.....
    Top job Mr Copperpot..........
16. So you can cure outside? as long as it is in the jar?
17. subscribed on this vid ;-) thanks for sharing
