How to Cure Harvested Buds and Trade for Emeralds

Freshly harvested crops are not at their peak right out of the soil. Drying your harvest on racks improves crop quality before you use it yourself or sell surplus stock to traders.

Drying Crops on Curing Racks

Curing is an essential processing step that raises both the strength and aroma of your harvested buds.

1. Harvest mature buds from your indoor grow room once your plants finish growing.

2. Build curing racks inside your base to create a dedicated drying area near your farm.

3. Place the freshly harvested buds onto the drying racks.

4. Leave the buds hanging on the racks until they cure properly, then collect the finished top-shelf crops.

Selling Crops for Emeralds

If you grow more buds than you plan to consume, farming high-quality strains provides a steady way to earn emeralds.

1. Visit nearby villages to locate village herbalists, or keep an eye out around your base for wandering buyers.

2. Bring cured, top-shelf harvested crops to these merchants and open their trading menu.

3. Trade your extra buds in exchange for emeralds.

4. Focus on curing your harvest fully on drying racks beforehand so your crops meet the top-shelf expectations of herbalists and buyers.
