Greetings TW666,
Glad all going so well. As Tangwena noted tryvdrop the humidity now and dry them somewhat by less feeding and less watering. Squeeze that resin out. I find 40% Humidity upto a 50% max is workable for final couple of weeks flowering.
Curing wise there is Tangwena the Cob expert here with a whole thread on the traditional Malawi cob cure.
Generally as you no doubt know, after a drying period or 5 days they then go onto the curing and that is with about 62% hunidity and should take from two to three months tosignificantly alter the plants acids and sugars into active resin loaded with THC and Cannabanoids. The Terpenexprofile also needs about two to 3 months to begin expressing itself fully.
After 3 months curing the herb can continue to be stored fior a number of years if kept in correct containers and suitably stable storage environment.
Simons method of curing can easily be found online searches.
I use a brown grocery bag for a sweat to get my buds curing evenly after a few days drying I put the branches in the bag and fold it closed. I store it in my tent to keep smells down using the carbon filter to help this. Each day for a week I open the bag for a twenty minutes or so and ritate the branches. By the end of the week about 10 to 12 days from harvest I find I can transfer them to either glass mason jars and cure them in there with a Boveda 62% Hunidity pack. I also have some nice Tight Vac containers which work really well and give a smooth cure and they are dark instead of transparant like mason jars, so less light degrading of THC on the buds this way.
Hope these ideas are of some help. Happy growing! Happy harvest!
