I will post a few shots, but all bud cures differently, and all people cure with different combination of evironmental factors (humidity, temp levels(high-low)vacuum or non vacuum pack...). Indica cures fairly quickly and a lot of times will not change as much as a Sativa X, Indica X or straight Sativa. Examples to follow.:hippy:
i like my bud cures right. i want to be able to snap the steam, im not a fan of wet or damp weed it just don't smoke right. i for one is a believer of the longer its cures right the better it will get, just like wine. i use a wooden cigar box , or a wooded kef box. let it sit for a while in a dark closet in a fairly warm room. for about 2-3 months and its gonna be better then ever.
Nobody bothered to trim those buds. :S2: I'd love to see some of the real Acapulco Gold and the old Panama Red reappear or anything like them. :smokin:
Man, this topic got sidetracked. This is just my two cents, OK.
I've been producing for quite a few years now and have cured it ever since. A good, SLOW dry (like about 7 days at 70 degrees F and about 40% RH) and then into jars or tins.
After several weeks the herb starts to off-gas leftover nutes in the herb. This usually happens about week three or four. During this time the weed smells funky, until a week or so later when it's all out.
There is also a time in curing where the potency jumps way up. This happens every time I make capsules. I make them with some fairly fresh weed and the steady process of carboxilation (sp?) keeps converting those resins to THC.
Now, currently I've got weed that's been curing over a year, and really it's better than it was 6 months ago. But to say it takes a definitive 8 weeks is silly. It's maybe strain dependent, but totally depends on the left-over nutes in the plant matter.
REMEMBER, marijuana stops ripening when it's cut -- IT'S NOT LIKE BANANAS! It won't ripen in a bag! Also, CURING IS NOT DRYING and DRYING IS NOT CURING. Just because it's dry doesn't mean it's cured.
It seems that the bong-rip crowd loves their weed sticky and fresh, but the real weed connoisseurs appreciate and understand the importance of the cure to the finished effects of the product.
