A great grow can still be let down at the finish line by a rushed, over-dry harvest. In this guide, Homegrown Cannabis Co. shows you how to trim, dry and cure cannabis the right way. You'll see when to start trimming, why keeping plants whole can slow the dry for a smoother smoke, the tools that make trimming easier (fine-tipped manicuring scissors and gloves are a must), and how to avoid letting your bud get overly dry. From there it moves into the cure: sealing buds in jars and burping them daily through the first week to pull out excess moisture while preserving terpenes. Follow along for fresher, tastier, better-preserved flower every time.
