In the drying, the whole plants usually are placed the other way around hung, or they are deposited in trays for its drying. Many cultivators think that the floral clusters hung mouth down for the drying, cause that the resins move by gravity to the extremities, like with other superstitions, little or no resin or cannabinoides is transported by means of the vascular system after the plant has been harvested. To invest the plants for the drying, causes that the leaves hang very next to the floral clusters when they are dried, and the resins are left prote’ge’es of an external manipulation of any type. The floral clusters also seem more attractive and greater if they are hung.
The resins are very fragile and fall outside the chalices to the shaken being the plant. At least the clusters are manipulated, better aspect will have, as well as better flavor and aroma when smoking. The floral clusters, including great stems and leaves, commonly are dried until arriving at a 25% of their original fresh weight (it must lose a 75% of his weight in water). When they are sufficiently dry to be stored without the mould threat, the central stem of the floral cluster will easily break the doubled being, like the secondary stems and others.
The drying must be made slowly, without light and in a dry and fresh atmosphere, with temperatures of approximately 18º to 22ºC, until arriving at an optimal point. The wrappers in newspaper papers facilitate the drying and they do not contribute strange flavor, since they from within facilitate the humidity absorption and its elimination from outside, but is had a good dryer does not need any accessory
Like general norm, the marijuana has to contain approximately a 10% of water, to come to its storage or being smoked in optimal conditions.
