i dont even know wtf curing is :D :D :D :D

Well its been in the loft for 1 months. cut of all the leaves put that in a cieled container and forgot about them for 5 months. The buds were still on the stem... for like 2-3months then i cut them of but them in a cieled container for a long time......

If tht makes sense..

I think putting it in a sealed container is part of the curing process, but don't take my word for it.

Try and snap a nug. if the stem is a clean break your good to smoke, if it bends and streches its not cured.

I've heard about weed "going bad" and it's always kinda worried me. How long does it take? And what exactly happens??

Mould can do serious damage - need to make sure that the Airtight container is "burped" to let out some stale air etc. That can ruin your bud almost overnight.

I think if grass is stored even at optimum temperature the THC begins to degrade after 12-18 months (dependant on conditions) and IIRC the THC can then degrade by 15-20% each year.

So curing for 4-6 months = Jolly Good

Storing for 4 years and expecting a better smoke - not likely.

Anaerobic bacteria cause a lot of the breakdowns in curing, also the level of Chloropyll will drop (helps the weed taste better) over time which is also a benefit of the curing.

why the hell didn't you smoke it like 3 months ago?.... Did you forget about it or go around the world or something?

Whenever I pick up a really good strain I vacuum seal an 1/8 or so and save it for future use. I recently smoked some Sour Deisel that I had sealed up for at least two years and it was almost as good as the day I bought it. Actually it was just as potent but had lost some of the scent and taste. Maybe that's from the loss of chlorophyll that Delta9 mentioned. Still a really nice smooth smoke though.
