Depends where you are. Calgary would be dry as hell, so... ya. In my area, humidity hangs between 70 and 90% until February before it starts dropping. Either way, I'd try it.Living in canada..during winter the outdoor temps in a shed would be colder than freezer (0 degrees). Would it not be the same result as frost free fridge curing ?
Thanks.Very well written post Tycho, it will definitely be one I point people to when referencing this thread! I’m getting ready to do my second batch of freeze cure at the end of the month, I’ll report back with the results.
As you noted, the cold jars have little smell. This is disappointing because you don’t get that big whiff of pleasure that you’re expecting, until you realize that you don’t smell anything because your terps aren’t volatilizing off like crazy.
On my first run I noticed the buds had a noticeably “springy” texture, did you experience this as well?

What do you folks think?.JPG
The best bud I smoked was dried outdoor. I don't remember it cured. It took a good month, so maybe the cure was during the drying.
I dried some in my shed last year. It was ready to debuck and I'd miss it because I was lazy, then it would rain and rehydrate. Wait some more. Lol
Wife said it was the best I grew. "Now that's an award winner"
Now that is an excellent analogyI tend to cut branches to save space. Single branches hang straight down more or less, whole plants are like wrestling an octopus covered in honey.
... just like tobacco curing in the old "tobacco barns".The best bud I smoked was dried outdoor. I don't remember it cured. It took a good month, so maybe the cure was during the drying.
