    hey all. i want to dry my buds the least I can but still have them smoke in a blunt or whatever. i like my bud to have a little more moisture to it as well, plus i want to maximize the yield i get by not totally drying them out. after drying, if i put them in a glass jar to cure, if the sides of the jar dont get condensation on them after the buds being in there for a few good hours, does that mean they are dry enough? last year i thought my buds were dry, put them to cure, only to find the sides of the glass jar had wetness on it - which meant to me that the buds werent dry enough. so my question is: if my curing jar doesnt have condensation on the sides after a few hours, should that tell me that the bud is dry enough to smoke? thanks alo

    What you're doing when curing is allowing stuff like chlorophyll that is in the herb to break down. When this happens, the smoke gets alot smoother and tastes alot better.

    Dry your buds until the stem bends a little bit, then snaps when you bend it. Then put the herb in jars, and burb the jars once a day for a few days. Keep letting the herb stay in the jars longer and longer without burbing, after maybe 5 days just leave it in there for a week. Herb that's cured properly blow uncured herb outta the water, so trust me man its worth the wait.

    You can smoke the herb after it's dried, before curing, but if you're gonna spend all this time growing it, you should atleast wait another week or too to make the smoke 10x better.
