== Drying ==
The optimum air drying humidity is between 40 and 50% (RH). I keep around 20-22C. In the process of drying biological processes continue inside of the buds and the chlorophyll is converted into glucose. Move a humidity sensor around your house to find a spot with good conditions.
You can tell the buds are dry when the stems snap instead of bending when pressure is applied. The smell can also offer a clue as to how well-dried buds are, chlorophyll has a fresh-cut grass or banana-like smell. Drying slowly is preferable as it ensures the inside of the buds are as dry as the outside.
Note: under-dried/under-cured weed can induce a headache when smoked as a result of too much chlorophyll.
