How yellow is yellow enough to start curing?

[Figuring it out]

I've got a couple piles color-curing and am wondering when to pull them out to hang-dry cure? I'm assuming that any green will remain in the leaf once dried, but that there is a reason to not let them color-cure too long? Some are getting brown before the green disappears.

I haven't done a full harvest yet, I've been priming the plants and am practicing with those leaves before potentially ruining the whole batch. Attached are photos.

I have watched numerous videos and read several posts, but for some reason what to do at this stage remains somewhat ambiguous!

Preferably you would hang them in a space 70ish% relative humidity. If so, you could hang mature leaf that had only begun to ripen. Green is relative. Those leaves you say are going from green to brown aren't remotely as green as they would have been a month ago. I think you're fine. But you'll have to be the judge of that in a couple months. Don't stress.

I am by no means an expert but from what I have learned and experienced when they are completely brown and dry/crispy they are ready to let age. Those that are brown but slightly yellow are close.
