New Grower...when is it time to cure?

[Sirus]

am going with the glass jar method, got them all cleaned up, got my Caliber III 's ready to go. Question though. They have been hanging for 3 days, the stems don't snap, just bend..last night I took a straggler popcorn bud home and trimmed it up and tossed it in the pipe...it was dry enough to smoke although you could defitinly tell it was still wet. Sooo the question is this; Is it time to manicure and start the curing process? I have seen people say 2 weeks and I have seen peeps say 3-5 days before throwing them in jars... Any input much appericated!

Hello Sirus, If you read & follow the instructions in this thread you will finish your buds to perfection. It is one of the best threads on IC. Good luck

Depends on local conditions. I'm a water curing kinda guy but, I say when the buds feel dry outside but, upon smoking are still too wet inside.

When people say the stem should snap, they're not speaking of a toothpick snapping cleanly in two. That could take months with weed. They're speaking strictly of the sound it makes.

Hi, Sirus. As you have a Caliber, I assume you'll be using it to measure the product's RH. How flexible are the stems? Are they compliant enough to tie into a knot, or do they have offer some resistance? If the buds feel dry and the stems bend with some resistance, you can jar the product with the Caliber, then follow the guide.
