I have read a lot of the threads in the Curing category, air cure,sun cure, flue cure, etc,..ok well I have started getting some leaves and suckers, and have tried to "cure" them, but they do not turn brown, some I kept in a container, for several weeks so that they would not dry to fast, but they still do not change color. How long do I need to keep them from drying ?
Most of the stuff I have read, talks about keeping the humidity exactly 80 %, or 90 %, and etc. I do not have the means of checking or measuring the humidity and temperature exactly, nor even approximately. Is there any simple , non technical, scientific way to do this ?
The conditions here are extremely dry, left out in the open air the leaves would dry in about 24 hours, or less to a crisp. I can keep them in a closed container, and by venting it, control how fast or slow they dry, so the main thing is to know more or less how much time it should take for them to change color ? Thanks, from Garry
