It’s an exciting time when your cannabis is ready for harvest. You’ve spent a lot of time and effort taking care of your plants to make sure that they grow well. But the fun doesn’t really start once you’ve harvested your cannabis since you still have to process them. Processing and having the right curing jar for cannabis is important to make sure that the buds dry properly, and that everything stays fresh. If you’re new to curing cannabis, this guide is for you. Let’s start by first understanding the curing process of cannabis.
What is Curing?
Curing cannabis is a process of letting the buds dry so that they can be placed in containers to be stored. But it’s not just simply drying them. The process is delicate and slow but it’s all worth it once you can smoke great quality cannabis.
After harvest, the buds are very moist. You have to be patient when drying them because if it’s done quickly, the buds can be overly dried. This will lead to harsh smoke and it won’t be pleasant to your throat.
Drying the buds has to be just right so that they are not very dry. They shouldn’t have too much moisture in them as well because that will then cause mildew or mold to develop. When that happens, your buds and your hard work to grow them will just go to waste.
