i had never heard of curing before i came to this web site so i tried it this year with my plants and i must say it works well and it is best by far makes your pot a lot smoother as one of my plants was a mango cross now talk about a smelly not too nice taste when first dry but after a month of curing they came out so much better taste %100 better and smoother and i have found it much stronger as a hit too. So i stand by it for sure know it worked great for me. And the dry bud cuts up sticky as well so i stand by it just get better with time if you do it right to start with.
