 curing cannabis properly

Harvesting is a joyous time, but if
you’re like me, you’ll also feel a tad guilty
for cutting down these magnificent plants.
In ancient times, celebrations accompanied
the harvest and prayers were said to thank
the gods for creating the most versatile
plant on the planet. While you’ll just use it
for medicine, your ancestors would also
have converted the fibrous stalk into innumerable
necessities like fuel, durable clothing,
and long-lasting writing paper.
Cut down your plants at the base of
the stalk. Remove all extraneous leaves
from the branches so that only the flowers
remain. All those big leaves and pointy leaf
tips protruding from the long main cola?
Trim those off.
When you’re finished trimming, hang
the plants upside down in a room with
lowlight or darkness. Humidity should be
40-60%, but fungi and bacteria thrive in
this environment, so make sure to disinfect
the area first (spraying rubbing alcohol
works well) and maintain adequate
ventilation.
The longer the cure, the smoother the
taste. Depending on how well you control
humidity, it will take 3-to-15 days before
the flowers are dried out and ready to be
smoked. In the meantime, put a few flowers
in your oven overnight with just the
pilot light on or in a crockpot set on high.
By morning, they should be ready to
sample. Because you used a fast-curing
process, the smoke may be harsh.
These are not my own words but rather a repost of information.
