If you are smoking it after 4 days of drying and not curing it will not taste very good. Drying it slowly for 1-2 weeks, then curing for another 3-4 weeks is the best way to get the optimal taste out of the buds.

All of this said, be sure to pay attention to the nutes and flush as mentioned earlier in the thread or all the curing in the world will not make you satisfied...
