Yes, the curing is the process of slow drying. Once the buds have been dryed for about a week [Depending on size of colas] you then put them in a sealed container. Once their in the container [Mason Jars are good, altohugh i dont use them] you have to open the container for 30 - 60 mins a day for about 4 - 6 weeks.

This slow drying process breaks down the Chlorophyl and other chemicals in the weed which gives it the grassy flavour that you dont want.

Also curing activates THC and cannabinoids, so cured bud is almost always stronger than un cured fresh bud. I know this from personal experience with me LR.
