I will always cure. Over the years I have seen and tried many ways. When I was just starting i would rush things and skip the cure now Im older wiser and have had time to see the difference. Put it this way when you make whisky you can drink it right as its processed and it will get you drunk. Store and cure it in oak barrels and the aged taste as the sugars break down adds so much to the taste and aroma. Same thing with buds the chlorophyl finishes off the trichs rippen and the sugar in the plant break down adding aroma from oils and taste to the smoke.

Im my experience ive had good bud that i didt cure because i smoked it too fast. but i had 2 grams cure because i wasnt able to smoke it (due to legal reasons) And when i did (1 month later) it was like i was smoking a whole new plant. The cure matters more than ppl think...

I know a guy who doesn't cure, he dries and then smokes it. He claims that curing is a waste of time and will not make the weed any better. I know for a fact this guy is very misinformed, I have the chance to cure bud from him on a regular basis. When I get bud from him, it's harsh, tastes nasty , doesn't burn evenly and smells very green, almost like its premature. I take these buds and cure them for 2 weeks at the minimum, it's like a completely different weed at the end of a cure. Nobody is saying you have to cure but to say it is overrated is a very ignorant statement. People that don't cure are missing out on the full potential of their harvest. I've proven this to myself as well as a few other lazy growers who say curing is a waste of time. If you don't cure, you're not smoking a finished product and if you claim it's a waste of time then I'm willing to bet you've never properly cured a harvest. Lazy/inexperienced growers are the only people I've come across who claim curing is pointless.

Curing means drying properly. It doesn't necessarily mean sealing up in a glass jar. The jar just prevents the bud from drying out too quickly and gives the carotenoids time to degrade. If you had perfect drying room conditions, you could cure the bud in there. The jar makes for a more controllable environment.

So while I do think curing is necessary for quality smoke, it doesn't have to be done in a jar. You could have perfectly cured bud that was hung in a barn for a sufficient amount of time. Also, if bud was dried too fast, you can't fix it by tossing it in a jar for a week. Same goes for stuff that was harvested too early.

IMO "curing" only gives the illusion of adding to the smell and taste of bud.

You are storing the bud in an airtight glass jar. The smells accumulate as they have nowhere to escape. When you open the jar after a period of time, you get a blast of concentrated odor and think "wow, this curing thing totally works"

If you left the bud out of the jar, exposed to the air, the smell dissipates. It also dries out more leaving it with little odor and if overly dry, a harsh smoke.

Storing your bud in glass jars is a good idea as it prevents it from drying out. I dont think it truly adds to the smell or flavor.

The key to preserving the terpine profile and smoothness of the smoke is in the drying.

So basically your saying schwag,mid and top shelf all smells and tastes the same? No it doesn't... Why not though its all weed? Because it isn't cured or even grown correctly. Yah ok people eat raw eggs... But cooked eggs are better.. Smells and tastes better... There is a difference..

Pot heads aren't goofy... We just know the difference between shit weed, and good cured weed...

What point? Your bringing all this shit up about black coffee raw eggs... I'm saying valid comebacks that are proven to be correct.

I think your missing the point that curing isn't over rated.

cuts off fan leaves first them trims the rest. after all leaves are off he removes bud from stem and puts it in cardboard box with no top no more than maybe 6 inches high. once a day he moves buds around and its dry in 4 or 5 days. place in jars and check the smell once a day for several days. thats it...easiest way i've seen. he cant let it cure cause they smoke it up too fast.lol....try it.

Your friend is curing his bud but you claim its overrated? He trims the buds, puts them in a cardboard box and dries them for almost a week and then moves them to jars where he regularly burps the jars for several days to "check on the smell." You're describing a dry and cure process, he may not cure as long as most but he's still curing his bud.

I don't wana be a dick.. but honestly.. I been growing now for a little over 8 years.. and every single person I know.. that's old.. grows outdoors.. and don't give a fuck about trimming let alone curing it right.. im sorry if I offend anyone.. but ya I have done the tests.. dry trim. wet trim.. no cure.. cure.. flush.. no flush.. and REAL STONERS.. can tell the difference between everything. im telling u now. ya if it works for him cool.... but id never waste 2-3 months to smoke shit that wasn't cured properly.. don't get me rong.. I have tried every which way.. and after seeing how big of a difference it brings out in the smell taste.. and how much smoother it can be.. the main thing is the SLOW DRY.. 14 days is perfect. usually.. ull start to see the smaller branches turn yellowish brown.. losing chlorophyll .. that's wen u know that ur getting rid of alont of chlorophyll before the cure.. meaning u could smoke it before even jarring it up and it would be fine.. but a few months later.. or even a week or 2 later cured.. ull find a huge difference in product..

not a moron or anything of that sort... but I bet most ppl cud cure his bud and make it better..and let's face it no bud fresh of the plant is better than dried and cured bud.. so there shud be no argument about how to dry or cure ur bud.. its about proficiency. not taste or preference.. I get it every one is entitled to do whatever but why shud that affect the proper way to dry weed..

You Should ALWAYS Cure that shit yo, 100xtimes better in smell and you feel it in your chest more .
i understand smoking all of it before it has time to cure i remember doin it awhile ago but its def worth it.
buds that are only a couple days dry dont taste the best. after about 2 weeks in the jar its so much better, and thats @ minimum.
Just sayin there's definitely A difference between cured &Not cured bud.

I'm enjoying this Up State I grew. It has been curing for about 2 weeks and I think it's pretty good, but my partner here thinks it could use another week or two of curing to be perfect.

This thread taught me that one of us HAS to be a complete fucking idiot. There's no other way. That's it, this friendship is over! Where's my brass knuckles, this SOB is gonna get it!
