Description
Sifty Sunday. October 25th, 2026. The outdoor season is DONE. The hang-dry room is FULL. Now the question every grower asks:
HOW do you know when cannabis is ready to cure? When do you move from hang drying to jars? What is the snap test? What are the signs?
This is Sifty Sunday — no more panic, no more worry about the weather. The plants are inside. Now we test the elements of DRYING and we push these into the curing + sifting phase. Whatever happens, happens. What is happening on the INSIDE is what matters now.
The Berfelo Snap Test — The Signature Framework:
🌱 1. CHECK the outside of the bud — a little sticky but not wet
🌱 2. BEND a small stem — don't force it
🌱 3. LISTEN for THE SNAP — clean break, audible
🌱 4. IF IT BENDS without snapping — not ready, keep drying
🌱 5. IF IT SNAPS CLEAN — ready to transition to jar cure
🌱 6. IF IT CRUMBLES — overdried, rehydrate carefully with boveda
🌱 7. CHECK every day — "I show up in my curing every day"
"That snap is going to be great. We're going to get that snap and we're going to go — whoa. Who knows about the snap?"
The Berfelo Curing Showing-Up Philosophy:
🌱 Show up every day in your grow
🌱 Show up every day in your curing
🌱 Years and years of understanding the stages
🌱 Learning through the seasons
🌱 7 times checking — identifying what to look for
🌱 Patience separates good growers from great
"I show up in my curing every day." 🌱
The Full Journey — Seed to Hash:
🌱 SEED — April
🌱 GROW — May through September
🌱 HARVEST — October
🌱 DRY — October through November
🌱 CURE — November through December
🌱 SIFT + HASH — November through Christmas
🌱 FIRST BOUNCE — Christmas Day 🎁
"6 months in. And still steps to keep going. That is why we are into the next stages."
The Marcus Richards Hash Church Legacy:
Sundays used to be hash church. Marcus Richards — the Bubbleman himself — brought the hash church tradition to the community. I used to do hash church every Sunday at Shanda with so many great people. The tradition continues on Sifty Sundays.
"That is why we are talking about hash on Sifty Sunday. That is where it came from. Hash church was Sundays." 🙏
Shoutout to Marcus Richards — thank you for the knowledge, brother. The pizza box, the pizza toppings, the trichomes. We carry it forward every Sifty Sunday.

"I can already see what I am going to be doing for Christmas. First Bounce on Christmas Day — celebrating that day."
