Why Slow Curing Cannabis Matters — The First Bounce Reward 🌱

John Berfelo Official Guide 3 days ago

Description

Why Wednesday. October 28th, 2026. Week 2 of hang dry.

WHY do you cure cannabis slowly? WHY does patience matter? What is the First Bounce reward?

Here is the WHY — and the reward waiting at the end.

The Berfelo Daily Cure Checklist:

🌱 CHECK stickiness — how is the outside?
🌱 CHECK stems — bendy, snappy, or in between?
🌱 CHECK humidity — 62 to 65 percent RH
🌱 CHECK temperature — under 60°F, ideally 55°F
🌱 CHECK for mold — spot inspect every day
🌱 CHECK the plan — on course for Christmas First Bounce?

"Like the pilot flying a plane — he has a checklist. I have mine. I check every day." ✈️

The First Bounce — The Fresh Fruit Reward 🍎

First Bounce is like catching the first apple as it falls from the tree. That first luscious fruit — fresh, pure, concentrated. That is what you get when you cure right. The first trichomes. The grower's reward for patience.

The WHY of Slow Curing: 🌱 Cannabis holds CHLOROPHYLL at harvest (grassy taste)
🌱 Slow cure = chlorophyll breaks down
🌱 Fast dry = chlorophyll locks in
🌱 Patience = smooth smoke, deep flavor
🌱 6 months of grow deserves 6 weeks of cure

The Berfelo 60/60 Rule — Classic Grower Wisdom:

🌱 60 percent relative humidity
🌱 60 degrees Fahrenheit
🌱 Simple, proven, works for beginners

My refined numbers: 62-65% RH, under 60°F (ideally 55°F), aW 50-55% in bag, no light, minimal airflow.

The 4.5-Year Archive:

Some buds have been hanging 4.5 YEARS. Still viable, still terpy, hang like trophies. Pull a branch when you want to smoke. Fresh trim on demand. Hang dry for the win.
