curing

[ojitos1985]

does curing really affect potency, reading on the internet... i concluded that with curing... THC becomes CBD or something, so in this case curing will transorm the herb into more stone effect, i am wrong or something?

From what i understand...as far as potency is concerned, curing definitely preserves it, i'm not sure about increasing or improving.

I'm sure you've read this thread: http://boards.cannabis.com/grow-faqs/60954-drying-curing-your-buds.html

Zandor's info in that thread is priceless and the second post has some more insight as to what you were asking about THC converting to CBD.

hope that helps.

Sorry, curing is more for taste. Genetics determine potency. Once your herb is dried, a slow cure allows the process to continue that breaks down chlorophyl improving taste.
