- If you're ready to elevate your cannabis skills, knowledge, palate, service mastery and assessment ability, the 2022 Ganjier Certification Course is now open for enrollment at ganjier.com
Curing is the process that involves controlling the temperature and humidity for a specific period of time to allow for chemical stabilization of harvested cannabis flower.
In this brief tutorial, noted breeder and Ganjier instructor Kevin Jodrey breaks down the ideal parameters - including temperature and humidity as well as considerations of scale - for craft growers to produce optimal product.
Kevin needs a biography Netflix special all raw unscripted footage about his life and how he started in the cannabis industry and what he does /has done/dude is inspirational would love to meet him smoke and talk the different cultivars I’ve experienced
Yes!
He will soon, people of his esteem do so too share, he is a giver!!!
lmao maybe once cannabis is federally legal in the united states
I couldn't agree more...join the ganjier course and imagine the chance would arise...at least that's what I'm hopin!¿!😉😜😋
I'd love to crack a bud or two of my very own humble uk grown sunkissed organic herb with the whole team too...share the love...One love 💜
Aggred.
Kevin is one of those special individuals that can perfectly convey pertinent information in the most easily digestible way so that even the laymen can understand what's being discussed. A true genius of the Cannabis world.
This man is one of my favorite cannabis professionals in the industry today
Kevin has always best informations.👌👍
Huge fan of Kevin here, I think I’ve watched every single RUclips video with him in it even the ones that don’t have his name in the title. It’s so fascinating to listen to his analysis and his opinions about the cannabis industry and just the plant itself. He inspires me to keep learning and keep getting better at growing these magnificent plants.
Be great if someone made a kev playlist
Kevin always explains things perfectly.
I been growing for 30 years indoor and outdoor and consider myself a pro and I still like listening to this cat.
Nocano got so lucky having a dad who understands sport performance and biological performance of plants. Talk about a well rounded education
It's always good to hear seasoned experts extolling knowledge about Marijuana. Thank you for the services you provide.
Every time I listen to this man there's so much you learn thank you
This is why i miss the medical era in california where most shops grew their own in house. Smaller facilities and smaller grows mean each plant gets more attention and they’re paying attention to all the details to be competitive with other shops. Growers put in that extra time, watch for variances, and would do proper flushes to get that clean white ash. I remember when GG4 dropped and i could pick up a nug simply by touching it and i remember sticking my face in jars and smelling so many flavors and nuances. Stuff was loud!
All these small ops were indoors and everything was controlled.
Fast-forward to now - growers don’t make money so they have to cut corners, grow in huge outdoor/greenhouse facilities, not worry about flushing or proper curing [lab testing is utter bs], and a lot seem to throw their nugs on trays to capture kief so they can sell another product dimishing the flowers’ smoke potential… and they still have to sell packs to the east coast on the downlow just to stay in the game.
Bring back the medical small grow-ops!
I also voted No in 2018 for rec because everyone i knew who grew in small ops told me the legislation is favoring tourists rather than patients. Yea, they also all got raided right at the same time it went recreational. The recreational market you have to be the big bucks just to play and you won’t survive against the big corporate pharma😔
Thanks to Kevin for his guidance over these years. I have been able make friends and family happy
He is the Cana man! 100 percent the most educated ganja farmer I have ever had the pleasure of listening to..keep the knowledge coming!
You the man Kev
Happy Holidaze Ganjier crew
Kevin is a Genuine Asset to the Marijuana Community. Humboldt should name a City after him
He was selling mite infested clones. Not sure if he's as good of a cultivator as he is explaining the process. Have you ever seen his nursery?
His reputation in Humboldt isn't as good as elsewhere........
Some people just have a confidence about them that makes them enjoyable to listen to. That along with a good voice and obviously they are knowledgable
Measure active water (water activity) along with moisture content at commercial scale if your budget allows it. Get the number around 0.6 and your are hitting the sweet spot where no microbial growth will occur. You will find that all different flowers hold different end moisture content in relation to it's active water content if you are trying to get as "food safe" as possible. Probably more useful for the Canadian large scale producers out there.
Bud will ALWAYS be better either home grown or craft produced, regardless of dry/cure methodology.
Love the video and advice. As a home grower I've noticed after 3 weeks you really get an uptick in flavor an smell profiles. 2 months is ideal for me though.
I'm in awe of your intellect and communication skills Kevin. It's always a pleasure to listen to you on your videos.. Thank you!
Patience is a virtue
God bless you sir. I tried teaching this art, but big biz wasn’t having it. Lake County, California. Nor Cal baby. Love your shit!
Thanks man! Been following you for a few years now, started with 'meet the breeders!' And any and everything I could their after... It's so refreshing for me to absorb your incredible knowledge that you share so beautifully openly...the technical know how so challangingly affirms and grows what I'm already doing...can't wait to become a certified ganjier and expand my gnarly tree life some more...
"free your mind and your arse will follow!" (Funkadelic)...One love...
Kevin, you’re an absolute Legend my friend
I appreciate you dude, thanks for all the top notch information over the years.
complete expert! I love the info he has to share
Hey Kevin you are truly a stand-up guy in the Cannabis world that has definitely paid his dues gaining knowledge all through prohibition Johnny and master-blaster grew up the same way with more than 40 years of Prohibition under our belt we now have the green machine as a legal product for small Growers to make their own concentrates in a safer manner we get requests to come to California all the time for many local Growers unfortunately the epidemic has stopped us if we're ever out that way you would be the first person we would try to contact and hopefully you would accept our invitation to see you you are definitely a hero of ours and a very intelligent man we would love to chat about the old and the new have a great day Kevin
Always enjoy listening to Kevin 🌞
Man Kevin is a wizard at his craft ❤
Soild info.
1 thing I've noticed over the years. If I can keep my temps at optimal conditions the vast majority of time I never feel the need to use a humidity pack..
I remember when ole Jodrey came to Arcata in the early 90s. Every one at HSU thought he was a narc 😂
What's the deal with the mite infested clones???
Thanks Kevin for all your contributions and making time to educate the community! Much respect..
You understand once you grow and cure one time. Its much better than the stuff that was a year old when I used to buy. Which was dry and crumbly with not a lot of taste. My weed is pliable and the taste sticks to the tongue and does a good job in the high department.
Kevin at the Treehouse Lounge! Sharing the wisdom.
Always educating 💪😎Thanks for all you do Kevin
Awesome information
I have a question for you if you would. As a long term cannibis user i note a huge difference in the high from the past. With today’s high thc why do I feel I’m chasing the dragon to get a high from the past. I would like to think with today’s hi test I shouldn’t have to do the chase. I get the eating vs. smoking but still quiet confused. I would admit my lungs r loaded up
I'm slowly starting to understand that growing is like making a movie.
Best way I have found AND it’s a flawless method. Simple too. Cut all fans off, minimal air circulation beneath plants and keep H at 60 and Temps at 60-65. All while being completely dark. 7-10 days then go to a jar. Crack once a day. Cured in for me in about 60 days. ALL while dark. Happy Harvesting Fam!
Have you heard of Brennenstuhl Moisture Detector. Stick the prongs in the stem and when it hits 12% it's ready for a grove bag, a good size bag that lets it work its magic and let the nugs breath releasing oxygen so no burping required. Not tried either but thinking about it and no need for 62% boveda either.
@@arahant69 nope. I haven’t. I cut the main stalk and fans. From there it’s above mentioned conditions for 7-10. I don’t use ANYTHING else. No need to spend money where you don’t need to. I’d rather buy quality genetics from my breeder.
How long do you leave jar cracked open?
Tnx,,,for this simple explanation,,it truly is.......I'm learning this,after 3 years,,,and this recipe,,,is real world process,,,...in a small grow situation.......cardboard boxes,,paper bags,,,,to glass jars,,,,123.........peace,,,land o' lakes,wi.
I love this kind of show..cant stand the business end..
Kevin jodrey the GOAT 🐐
Love this guy
thanks my man!
Duuuude! So, my mentor has been growing in the desert for over a decade, her stuff is always bomb, but soo dry! I found out that when she cures, she removes her preoduct from the jar and airs it out like shes at sea level in NY! Mkay? So, then, my first grow, i took notes. I DO NOT REMOVE THE BUDS TO BURP HERE IN THE HIGH DESERT!! A 5 second burp, lids back on and tumble to stir settled herb. I have been praised for my end result for flavor and freshness by my mentor and many others! 3 days on the line and its ready for a jar, so humidity control may be rec'm'd, but i suspect nature does its thing and if youre paying attention amd taking enough care from start to finish it shows. -talk to your plants! (Thx Kevin, learned lots this season!)
Woah! I didn't know about the temperature.
So much knowledge dropping from Kevin, thanks bro
Thank you thank you! All the retail stuff is WAY too dry.
Nailed it brotha. Much love Masshole
Excellent breakdown of curing.
I was hoping Kevin would give an ideal humidity for bud in long term storage. Boveda are 65% so I guess that's likely about right. I put my bud in big glass jars (about 2 gallon) and burp frequently until they're under 70% (hygrometer in each) and then transfer to masons and burp less often. I haven't lost any so I guess that's about right. I have some two year old bud that's still really decent to smoke.
Boveda has 62% packs, I've used them for a few years. Keeps material ~60-63% RH. I too have 1-2 year cures that average around 58-60%, but that's a personal preference mate
Boveda and humidity packs longterm actually does not preserve terpenes. I have seen them used in huge operations in sealed containers.
Everyone is using curetubes, n2pack cans in cold storage, and groveBags has a lot of good reviews. I think n2pack many month old properly cured flower is impressive and like it is fresh. I have grown and harvested in Denver indoor ops and Oregon outdoor acreage. Boveda just doesnt work longterm, it just doesnt help you longterm.
@@GordonLittell Yes, integra boost packs have been out longer and started these with cigars long ago (and it has a freshness indicator that turns another color when it goes stale). Boveda is typically sold most in the 62, correct. I do not think I have even seen many of the others, never seen a 65.
Most ops now are doing the 60F and 60RH standard, started a few years back.
Also, I have tried some very old metrc dated flower that was good from nitrogen n2pack cans (high altitude denver flower) from Scott Reach's indoor operation. He uses a special 8th canning machine and I am impressed at every dated flower I tried from his farm. It seems to really help longterm keep things fresh, and maintain proper moisture (even stored properly at high altitudes which usually dry out faster)
@@dertythegrower I don't use boveda packs long term. I usually use them for a few days to a week to stabilize to 62 then I pull the packs. I did a long term test with the same product, the one without the boveda stunk up the room while the other was more earthy and muted. I agree that humidity packs are best for short periods 😁
Great Work!
I learn everything from this guy he only speaks facts
Thanks Kevin
Great knowledge! Thank you!!
Very informative 👍
I Love the older smoke like skunk
Another great video, thanks for sharing your knowledge
When i see kevin i click. Would be great if they did a netflix bio on him.
thank you very much,,my god i could never recll all that info in my head i got to write shit down,,,great stuff man...
Curing is a about keeping the bud sme wat moise, as long as it's sticky and soft not dry and crumble, you can lock it off and open once a week
Not soft ...but being soft means it's fluffy
Kevin is The Ganjiest!
Well said ,Thanks
Peace For All Weed Grower 💨🌱
Idk, I started growing in a hot environment. Temperature would be 80 in the house with the AC on so I had to get a dual exhaust AC for the room (if you know you know)
So anyways, there was no cool spots in that house so I would cure in my dresser drawer for a couple months and it would come out AMAZING. To the point I understand most growers still haven't figured it out. With that said, once I moved to a better environment (stable) better lighting/etc and while I'm doing mostly different strains the quality of the cure has dropped off a little. I can't get that AMAZING level that I hit routinely before. I'm getting bigger yields but not necessarily better. Only difference in my cure process is it's in the 60s now instead of 80+ degrees.
So you see how this videos information has me asking questions?
🔥🔥 great knowledge
6 weeks in blacked out glass on glass cure after a 14 day 60 percent humidity w/65 f temp is Perfecto .....my weed always tastes and smells like candy ....
Excellent information definitely sharing with the Crew
60/60 baby!
Mine was near dry and I got hit with 80% humidity. It lost a heap of weight and smell from it. Burping it hasn't done much good either. Now it real fluffy and light.
All you had to do was get a dehumidifier at Home Depot simple stuff man....nothing wrong with light and fluffy that's more of the strain type or how much light the girls had during harvest full sun from am to pm matters in density and size not always because some strains are just not as dense aka heavy....
Bud looses around 70% of it's weight after drying approximately...
What matters is the smell the taste and the quality of the product...I always rather have quality over quantity but it's nice if you can find a good strain that can produce both if grown harvested and dried properly.
It takes atleast a good month just hanging with the big leaves taken off let it dry slow and then dry trim it..bag it or seal it then open it for a minute let it keep sitting...
@@clintcoop5717 iv don't it for years iv never had buds come up so light weight. And the buds where 3 inches across hard as. A day or so before the stem would snap they got filled with humidity and two days after they shrunk half the size and lost all the weight.
@@clintcoop5717 dehumidifier couldn't keep the moister down. I spent 800 on one and it's shit. Ok if it's not raining out side. I had to add a bar heater as well to get the moister out just on low. It helped but couldn't turn it up as it would be to hot then. Everyone here has been having problems with humidity. .
@@billyballsup2685 what did you do dunk them in water lol...idk man I wasn't there so I can't say why or how etc.....If you've done it for years that makes no sense when you say got exposed to high humidity...
🌴😎💯
What are your thoughts on cryo-curing compared to traditional methods of curing?
Open Query:
I am in pursuit of 'greasy weed'. I don't know if that specific result is a genetic trait, an effect of a particular growing environment, or if it comes down to drying and curing a specific way. I've been blessed with that in the past, but inconsistently at best.
At the time, I was hopping between MG soilless mix and RDWC with Peter's 20-20-20 & 10-50-15 nutes. Don't hurt yourself busting that gut, but I did get excellent results. Of course, Marc Emery provided some great genetics, back then. Notwithstanding the beefs he may have earned from his suppliers.
Drying was never specifically regulated and curing only occurred whenever I opened the Rubbermaid. Ugh!
Note to self: KEEP RECORDS (moron) 😁
I'm hoping to learn a 'proven' method [or combination] that will produce 'greasy weed' for me, consistently.
Greasy Weed = Saturates the roach, black like molasses and often ends up staining your tongue with little boogers of resin.
In the bag, it is ready to smoke and yet, still feels resilient [if not down right MOIST].
Thanks to all for any hints, clues, and/or shared experiences. Peace
#HealingOfTheNations
Too much high of nutes and wrong ratios.
@@dalanwanbdiska6542 Is that your recipe for Greasy Weed? If yes, I'll have to give that unorthodox method a try.
Thank you for your valuable contribution.
Awesome
Man those walls are trippy 🤪
Arjan at Green House Seeds harps on curing in paper bags for best taste.
Ganja genius straight up
Well said 👏🏼❤️🌎🔥
when you cure your flower amazing things happen once you have done it you won't look bak.mr jodrey i jope you can bring bak that old 80's skunk man👍
liked and subscribed 🌱🔥😀
GENIUS
"Satisfy the End-Users understanding "...😂😂😂😂😂GOOD LUCK with That!
60 degree drying isn't doable in some locations and not essential. My dry room is low70's/low 50's humidity and it produces 🔥🔥
I agree , mold grows at 62%so that’s sketchy . I use Greenshock farms method of 24 hours high heat and super low humidity for 24 hours then go to normal until the stems snap , then in and out of sealed containers until perfect instead of burping . At the end 62% is perfect . It works , Greenshock farms wins Emerald Cup with their flowers
@@jacobreynolds4547 do you do anything special to store excess before you have a chance to trim. I usually grow 4-6 plants a run and I'm the only trimmer. I see peeps use totes, paper grocery bags etc..?
@@stangcobra592 , come harvest time I give them a couple days of darkness and then go in and either chop all of them or one at a time depending on how much there is . If it’s a lot I will chop one at a time , then I wet trim with a pair of scissors that I melted the rubber O ring out of , it might be weird but with some slop I can still do my trimming and don’t have to worry about cleaning off the scissors neatly as often . I go through and take off all the fan leaves and what doesn’t look worth saving until the plant is ready for final trim . If you wet trim the buds shrink and the trim job looks a little better afterwards unlike dry trimming . I never have to store anything but sometimes I hang them over me to motivate me to get moving 😂😂 Hope that helps , it seems to work out pretty well
@@jacobreynolds4547 I always dry trim and some strains like AK pack a lot of small sugar leaves in the buds & it tends to be a hassle since I'm a perfectionist when it comes to visual quality haha
@@stangcobra592 , I hear ya . I’m so busy blowing glass all the time I just get it done in the quickest way possible for me . Usually good to smoke in 10 days or so . 🍻 😁
Please do a side by side study on nitrogen curing.
I know you guys have enough samples ha.
Remember to measure the harshness, I know it preserves stored bud longer but I never got past the hot harsh smoke
He said in another video he doesn't like nitro, it degrades faster after being re-exposed to oxygen.
@@joekunedo not surprised....twenty years ago fools were finishing with heavy N guano intentionally to attain a greener for longer look but the smoke was hot and harsh with zero potential for remediation jajajajajaja well they remediated but it was still super hot and harsh.
@@Aj_470 I didn't know that, interesting.
Dry flower is a huge issue in CO. Top shelf at most shops is just a joke as nothings cured or stored properly. Profile's just gone. My personal grow attempts, with proper curation; have yielded equal/better results (I'd consider myself an educated novice). Just move to CO? Look into Boveda products, they help.
I prefer it here. Nothing worse than taking a great dry cure to the coast and watching it sponge up and become unsmokable
thanks for the wisdom. bro we gotta meet. take care
Burping? It's called sweating , it's a short cut.its used to draw the moisture out faster so you can dry in under 7 days.best drying method is hang dry in a room with the room humidity being the same humidity as buddy in the video says...oh ya also vent the drying room every couple days with exhaust fan ,might not be necessary but lots of wet weed raises humidity obviously and dehumidifier can handle but I like to just replace stale air.also airflow helps but can dry the outside faster so don't put fans directly onto the weed to try and speed up
🙏🏻
I overdrived my last batch. It wasn't terrible and it's still cured nicely. However, The strain I just harvested today, that white widow I don't think I'm going to have this problem LOL
Any one heard heard of Brennenstuhl Moisture Detector. Stick the prongs in the stem and when it hits 12% it's ready for a grove bag, a good size bag that lets it work its magic and let the nugs breath releasing oxygen so no burping required. Not tried either but thinking about it and no need for 62% boveda either.
Stay blazed growmies.
I would love to ask him question's for about an hour or so.
Enrollment is currently open for our 2022 Ganjier Certification course, where, as part of our live assessment training, you would get in-person instruction from Kevin and be able to ask him anything. www.ganjier.com
Word!
Brains blown info boom!
He's the Paul Stamets of ganja.
I'm glad I still live in the good old days...don't buy it don't sell it , I just grow it naturally outside harvest it and hang it up to dry till it burns nicely...seems to me people always want to complicate the easy things in life.
wow :)
Though Kevin
I have a question
What is the difference between a wet trim and a dry trim ,
Do these techniques effect curing ?
✌️👊
Does it hurt to rehydrate and is it better to store real dry or not so dry
2 weeks is great, curing is 80% the quality of elite grown bud.
How low in temperature can you go before it degrades the produce?
A lower temperature won't degrade the plant material. Many people curing the 50's degree range. If the room is too cool it can take longer to cure. The key is to use a dehumidifier and set it around 60%. This will keep the drying space dry even though the air temperature is low. Many people think heat is the way to cure, but it's actually more about humidity. If the air is too dry the plant matter will dry too quickly which degrades the quality of the finish product. Some of the best herb in Humboldt is slow dried for 2-4 weeks at a low temperature and with humidity in the 60% range. You could go with a higher humidity level to slow the process down even more, but once the humidity level get below 50% its curing too fast.
Yeah here on the big island is a little different lol. Especially commercial growing. Hawaii fire
