Drying
Drying is the initial phase of curing, where trimmed buds are hung upside down in a dark, well-ventilated room with moderate humidity (around 50-60%). This process typically takes 5-15 days, depending on environmental conditions and the desired moisture content of the buds.

Curing
Once the outer layer of the buds feels dry to the touch, they are transferred to airtight containers such as glass jars. During curing, buds are stored in a cool, dark place and monitored closely for humidity levels. Burping—opening the jars periodically to release moisture—is essential to prevent mold growth and ensure even moisture distribution within the buds.
