Well I guess you already know how to cure, SWIM pre-heats his oven to 140 C and cooks it for 5 min inside aluminium foil, he says it makes it nice and crispy (which makes it burn better and helps change more THCA into THC), smooth to smoke and gives it a woodier taste.

glass jar for, no outside influences to alter the flavour, at least a month with regular openings(1-3days), i kno too many people who smoke their most of their crop before theyre propperly cured and its a real shame.
im also a flavour nerd and patience is whats needed, i prefer fully dry weed for teste reasons, some like it a tiny bit damp but the teste isnt true if ye get me.i dont smoke tobacco though

Heh, to cure you place it inside an airtight container and every 1-3 days leave it open for an hour, only ready when the stems snap instead of bending, then dry it with a fan but a cool breeze would be better until you feel necessary and if you like really fine tasting smoke some tobacco is cured and dried for a decade, try that with weed . The oven is only for after curing just before smoking, because curing doesn't get all the THC you make it go over 130 degrees C (106 degrees C THCA changes to THC), THC boils at 200 degrees C, so you are very far inside the safe zone

Hang in a dark place for about 4 or 5 days, then glass jar for 2 weeks in a dark place with regular burping. Then into a cool dark place till I'm ready to smoke it. No fans because that dries it out too fast.

jar method is best. Water curing is really smooth, almost too smooth for my liking, it also makes your weed look bad.
