To cure marijuana, you will need to follow a few steps:
Time needed: 14 days
Dry and Cure Steps
- Cut the plant down and trim
After harvesting the marijuana plants, trim the excess leaves and branches.
- Hang
Hang the trimmed marijuana buds upside down in a dry and dark location with good air circulation. Make sure the room is kept at a temperature between 60-70°F and the humidity is between 45-55%.
- Check
Check the buds every day to ensure that they are drying evenly. You can use a hygrometer to measure the humidity.
- Dry
When the buds are dry to the touch, but still slightly pliable, it is time to begin the curing process.
- Jar
Place the buds in glass mason jars and seal them tightly. Store the jars in a cool, dark place and open them daily to allow the buds to “breathe” and release excess moisture.
- Cured
After about a week of curing, the buds should be ready to use. You can tell they are cured when they are dry to the touch, but still slightly pliable, and have a strong, pleasant aroma.
It is important to note that curing marijuana is a time-consuming process that requires patience and attention to detail. However, the end result is worth it, as cured marijuana has a much smoother, more enjoyable taste and a more potent effect.
