I was messing around on youtube and came across a video of a holland grower just cutting the stem at the bottom of the plant and putting the hole thing in a carboard box with no holes and leaving it in there for 4 months then pulling it out to a perfect dry and cure... I want to know how does this not mold in the 4 months in the box and if it cures just as good as a 7-10 day hang dry and jar cure??? Has anyone tryied this method of drying/cureing and if so how was the smoke and how hard was it to trimm all the dry bud after months of being in boxes???

| I can't answer all of that but I can answer some. I generally hang entire plants and only take off a few fan leaves prior to drying. Then, once dry, I trim. The trimming is very easy when done try compared to wet. I have cured some without trimming too. I will tell you that an untrimmed cure is a much better cure, in my experience. I even store it, after curing, without being trimmed sometimes. I have found that this keeps the bud nice and sticky and also protects the trichs when you are opening and resealing jars. As far as doing the entire process in a box, I doubt that would work as well but, then again, I have never tried it.

| sounds like a pain in the ass way to dry imo. personally, i like to break it down as much as possible, wet even, to dry. it dries faster, more evenly, and less chance for mold.

| booty, eeeeexactly. Trim now, trim later, and then some more, and turn, and box, and bag. wtf  I take the big cola and hang it in a box and all the nugs on the screen and yes, the smaller I can cut them the better.  In 5-7 days they're ready for jars. | ||
