Also, what exactley is "curing"? Why is it essential in the harvesting process and what does it involve?


Thanks!
Well i compress the bud to keep longer and for ethical purpous...it doesn't reduce potency all that much i can certify!

Curing is when you harvest you remove the leaves and make it dry...this doesn't look like an important part but it's the most crutial one that will influence your potency...

You can get a lot more details in the growing section of the forum...
