Drying & Curing FAQ's
The dry is the first one to two weeks after harvest: hang whole branches, or spread trimmed buds on a mesh rack, until the small stems snap instead of bending. That is how the bulk of the water leaves. The cure is the sealed stage that follows — a jar or TerpLoc pouch held near 62% relative humidity — where leftover moisture evens out, harshness drops and aroma stays. Skip or rush the dry and the cure cannot put it back.
Most growers sit between 58% and 65% relative humidity; 62% is the figure the industry has settled on. Boveda 62% two-way packs add or take moisture so the container holds that point on its own. Grove Bags TerpLoc pouches are made to land in the same band without a pack. Dip below about 55% and buds go dry and harsh; climb past 65% and mould becomes a real risk.
Plan on 10–14 days in a cool, dark room — about 18–20°C with humidity at 55–60%. If it finishes in under a week the space is usually too warm or too dry, and the flower smells like hay. A hanging mesh rack lets air travel around the buds; do not aim a fan straight at them.
Either works. The choice is control against convenience. Glass such as Miron's violet jars is airtight, reusable and simple to burp, and the dark glass keeps light off cured flower. TerpLoc pouches weigh less, take no shelf space and handle humidity themselves, so they suit bigger harvests. A lot of growers do both: pouches for the bulk, a jar for the one they open most.
Once the dry is finished, not while it is still running. Wait until buds are jar-dry — small stems snap, the outside feels crisp — then seal them with a two-way pack so the container sits at 62%. Put a pack in while the flower is still wet and you trap moisture and wear the pack out far faster than it is built for. In a sealed container a pack lasts months; stiff and crinkly means it is done.
