Everything I've read says that curing will increase potency, not decrease it. I had no idea why curing was done. The resin hardens inside the trichromes...interesting. Thanks for the info. I'm still trying to figure out what grade my Joint Dr Betty Boo is. I've read about various grades and descriptions of each. The best criteria I can submit is, my Betty Boo has no seed, no stem, smells sweet, maybe citrusy, the color is green, maybe a mix of light green and dark green with orange hairs throughout and the crystals can be seen. I haven't smoked any as I am interviewing. I haven't smoked since the 1st week of Dec. I know this stuff has to be better than anything I've ever tried before.
32yrslater Reviewed by 32yrslater on . Drying and Curing ? Greetings All, First, I am not a kid but I am hiding my grow(s) from my wife and kids. That being said, I have limited or no availability for proper methods of cultivation. I have harvested my 1st Betty Boo 2wks ago (thanks Attitude,Herbies and Single Seeds). I cut off all buds, put them in a paper lunch bag and had them at room temp for one day until I realized there was no way I was going to hide the aroma. I moved the bag to the storage above the garage for 1 wk where temps fell below Rating: 5
