Once a grower feels good about the condition of the flowers and their drying space, they usually hang branches upside down at the nodes (“V” location of stem and branch), either on long stretches of thick twine or on metal hangers. (Be sure to attach a label to each branch or hanger denoting the date it was cut and hung as well as the strain name!) Drying times can range from 7 to 14 days, with the average being around 10 days.
Once the branches have dried out and all leaves are hanging straight down, the trimming begins. First, all big fan leaves are removed and the buds lobbed off the branches. Then the finer manicuring starts, with the smaller “sugar” leaves that stick out of buds being removed (and usually saved for hash or concentrate production). It is only after all leaf material and stems are removed and only finely manicured buds are left that the curing process can start.
Curing is a slow process that lasts as long as the grower desires. The average range is about one to two weeks again, however some connoisseurs deploy much lengthier cures with some lasting as long as a few months. The shelf life of cannabis, no matter how well stored, starts to really diminish after about three months.
Most growers will cure for two weeks if they can, but this process requires a bit of diligence that makes curing buds harder than one might think. The key is to slowly “sweat” the buds in well-sealed containers. Glass is more ideal than plastic as certain plastics sometimes impart an odor or odd taste to the bud, but either will work. Once inside the container, the jars should be opened daily for five to 10 minutes to purge evaporating moisture. Twice a day for five minutes, for two weeks is ideal.
As time goes on, however, air becomes more and more of an enemy in this process. Once completely dried and cured, if you intend to store your buds long-term, a vacuum sealer is recommended to prevent further oxidation of the resin glands. Still, most cannabis connoisseurs prefer to smoke well-dried buds that have been slow-cured for optimal taste and potency. From start to finish, the time from harvest to smoke is usually about a month and the wait is sure worth it!

Evo jos jedno pisanje od Kome Trihome i njegovog tima ako je iko cuo za njeg..
With over 100 different flavorful terpenes and flavonoids, cannabis is one of the most diverse plants in terms of taste and smell. Whether you enjoy the sweetness of Bubblegum or the acidic bite of Sour Diesel, the complex flavors of different strains are dependent on these delicate molecules. Improper drying and curing damages the terpenes, resulting in bland weed that smells like hay.
There are three basic tricks to preserving the terpenes in your buds:
- Dry Slowly – Fast drying gets you smokeable bud quickly, but it results in light weight, bland buds. Dry slowly to preserve flavor, weight and smell.
- Provide Good Air Circulation – this prevents the growth of mold and fungus, which can not only damage the flavor but ruin the entire bud
- Cure for 2-4 weeks – Careful curing brings out the terpenes and makes for extra tasty buds.
Drying Marijuana
Hang each of your freshly harvested branches upside down in your drying area. Your drying area should be dark and have a good supply of clean fresh air. Good ventilation is key here. A fan will help, but try not to train it directly on your plants. What you want is
air circulating, not blasting at them. Remember to provide lots of space around each individual branch.
Heat will cause your plants to dry faster, but as we explained above, this is not always better. An ambient room temperature should be sufficient. Inspect your plants regularly to see how they are doing and turn them around so that the airflow in the room gets a chance to get to all parts of the buds.
A lot of growers use custom made
drying cabinets or boxes. This is basically an enclosed, controlled environment to dry your weed in. Some simple DIY could build you a box with hangers and a throughput of fresh air. You can also buy commercial weed drying cabinets such as this
Supherb Drying Cabinet that is suitable for 24 plants.
Drying can take anything from a few days to a couple of weeks. The average time is somewhere around a week. You will know that your plants are dry when branches and stems crack rather than bend between your fingers.
