In order for the trichomes(thc) to be phsyco-active, they have to be completely dry correct? My buds did seem to be quite abit dry, and I have smoked some and it seems to be more of eye candy then it really is. It is harsh and curing will hopefully smooth it out some. I have learned alot and will use what I learned on next crop.

I origanally had 5 plants under 400w hps, fan blowing heat off bulb, fan blowing in room as well, 4 males and 1 female. She yielded me an ounce dry weight.

I didnt have the fan blowing directly on the buds when they were drying, I had it on the floor by my sink blowing hot air in. I wont use the heater next time. Hopefully that was my fuk up. I also heard that curing mainly takes away the harshness and lets it finish drying evenly. Also I will have to drop the nutes earlier than 7 days even after flushing. I might even buy a dehydrator and cure 1/3 of my buds that way next time. A grower out in CA I knew used that for curing. It worked fine after drying out.
