How to Cure Cannabis (wet trimming)

This is the curing step by step after you have wet trimmed, if you don’t know the difference between wet trimming and dry trimming, wet trimming takes place right after your cannabis plant has been cut down while the buds and the leaves are still holding moisture, a lot of it, that’s why it’s called wet trimming. For more on the differences between wet trimming and dry trimming, check out our video the Differences Between Wet Trimming and Dry Trimming. Now let’s get into How to Cure Cannabis.

Step 1: After your cannabis is all trimmed its time to hang, most growers use drying nets or drying racks when they are drying after wet trimming. There is nothing wrong with hanging from the stems either, if you do decide to leave your stems on remember that there is water in the stem, so the more you leave on the slower it will dry. When you dry on drying racks or nets, it is important to make sure that you flip the buds over throughout this step or you will get flat spots on your buds from the drying racks or nets. Once you have placed your buds on drying racks or nets you will dry for about (7-10 days at 60-68 degrees 50-60% humidity) or until the stems make a snapping sound when you bend them over. Expect for your cannabis to lose a lot of its size and weight during this step, because your buds are about 75% water at the beginning of this step, they will get much smaller.

Step 2: After your cannabis has come off the drying nets or racks your ready to go into jars, or containers (store in a cool dark place for about 10-14 days) some growers use things like 27-gallon totes to put their cannabis in. It’s important in this step to rotate your buds around in your curing containers a few times per day while you leave the lid off to assist the off-gassing process that your buds will be going through, this is also known as burping your buds.

At this point your free to smoke your cannabis, enjoy.
