So far I have had really good luck once I started waiting until I saw at least 5% amber so it will be interesting to see if going 20%, 50% or 80% will make a significant difference. Do you know if going longer will affect the flavinoids in a negative way.

I saw a post by someone discussing storage who said they just stored their weed in jars in a cool dark area. They claimed their weed just kept getting better. For me I find the strength is still the same but a lot of the taste seems to be lost. Any OWTs on storage people should know about. Being vegetable matter I think freezing is the best. I say leave it a little moister than usual so it will not be brittle when thawed.
ah yes do that and let us know how it comes out and for flavor i cnat help you there.

ah the stuff about putting your buds in sealed airtight jars is called curing what this does is is eliimnate the moisture from the buds and gets rid of the the bad tasteing stuff and the amonia smell it also activates some stuff in the thc i think but im not a pro so im not really sure they also say that it improves the flavor and makes it less harsh.
