They are all right curing is the most essential, but most of all it has to do with the strain… I grow two different types of weed fruity, and skunky. If you don’t give your weed the right amount of time to dry and cure it’s not going to smell as good as it should. Smell doesn’t make the weed though. I get into it with people about this and it drives me crazy. I have had weed that smelt like God himself came down and made sure that it smelt so good, but it didn’t get me really all that baked, but on the other side I have had dried up old grass smelling shit that took me to Mars and back the long way. Point is, it’s all about the strain, drying, and curing.
