Hi folks,
I've probably searched and red though 50 plus old threads on here and each one gives me slightly different answers so I've joined up and hoping someone can give me some advice. It's my first time growing this year and I've only done a couple of plants to experiment with. I've grown Yellow Twist bud which appears to be an easy to cure heirloom burley variety. The leaves I've hung in my bathroom as its the only room with high humidity. The rest of the house flash dried leaves green. The leaves I've processed so far have gone yellow to brown. There was a some slug damage on the ends of the leaves and these bits flash dried green so I was planning on cutting these areas off. Once the leaves turned fully brown I've hung them in my bedroom and the drop in humidity has really dried them out and made them more brittle.
I'm not sure if the fermentation process is essential or I can just age them dry? If ageing them dry, do they need to be somewhere more humid? I'm in a super small flat without any equipment so really just relying on spaces I have which are a very humid bathroom or a very dry other rooms. I've seen some people place in plastic bags, others chop into jars, one person suggested just storing them in a cloth bag for a year. I'm really at a loss as to where to go next. Any advice would be hugely appreciated. Thank you!
