How important do you believe the cure is with cannabis buds?

Curing isn’t an opinion thing. You either grow weed and cure it or you grow weed for processing. If you’re not growing for processing and you’re not curing you wasted months of time and money because no one will be able to stomach smoking uncured bud. It’s going to be harsh and taste like you’re smoking actual grass clippings. It is a FACT that curing enhances taste and smell.

Q | How important do you believe the cure is with cannabis buds?

I hear the facilities do 60 degrees, 60% humidity for 16 days and then they get out into the jars and you don’t need to burp them but idk cause I let my plants dry for 16 days and they definitely weren’t looking like the cured good bud from a dispensary. Other people say that if you do that you shouldn’t need to burp the jars at all, but how do they cure at a large scale??

1. They’re not curing. The bud I get from the dispensary says it was harvested a month or less ago. They’re selling fresh buds. Curing is a myth.

Opinion

I think you’re confusing with the dry and cure being separate. When you dry them slow and in a cool room you essentially are drying and curing them at the same time but curing is definitely a real thing. There’s science on it and the legacy growers from California all do it and believe in it fully. If they harvested it on the beginning of Jan and you bought it at the dispensary a month later that just means that they dried and cured it all together.

Statement 1

I just finished my like 4th grow, and I’ve been trying it everyday to see how much it changes, yesterday the smoke was still a little bit harsh and a tad bit hay-ish but I could tell it was close, literally smoking a joint of the same home grown weed of mine as we speak, and it’s definitely ready and I’m so happy cause this is probably the most successful grow I’ve had so far, feels like I won the science fair, it’s so cool getting stoned off of weed you grew yourself

little context: my first plant I ever grew got stolen on the 3rd day of flowering, and I haven’t quite figured out the drying/curing process till now, so I’ve had a few of my grows end up molding or just turning out like shit, but this year I think I nailed it, only yielded about 7 G’s but I wasn’t shooting for a big plant, I just wanted to get the hang of topping and LST, learned a lot this grow and I’m soooo excited to grow atleast a few plants next year, definitely gonna go for some MONSTERS next year, This sub is awesome.

Directions

jmystro on September 9, 2020 at 2:01 pm Drying the bud should be done fairly slow and at a low temperature. Slowly removing moisture allows time for molecules like chlorophyll to be broken down and eliminate the hay smell and taste. Neutralizing the chlorophyll is how we get clean burning bud with most of the flavor coming from the trichomes darkness is a must.

No light. Week 1 – 60F with 60% RH, Week 2 – 55-60F with 55% RH, Week 3 – 50-55F with 50% RH. You can cut the buds off their stems at this point. Week 4 – 50F with 45-50% RH. Trichomes are cured and bud is ready to seal. Long term storage. 36-40F, place bud in container in a room with around 40% RH. Seal. Humidity packs can be added if your environment calls for them.

My house stays 50% RH so I don’t have a need for them. If I was in CO or the desert with 10% humidity. My containers would have humidity packs. I live in the humid south so I don’t bring bud outside. lol.
