Bud *does* increase in potency with drying and curing. This is for two reasons:
a. Some THC precursors present in the plant can be converted to THC during dry/cure, and
b. Some inactive cannabinoids are activated by decarboxylation, though this is a minor effect that would probably happen during smoking anyway.
Obviously, there is a limit to how many inactive cannabinoids are in there when you start, so there is a ceiling to how much curing can increase the potency.
Also, really prolonged curing can DECREASE the potency since active cannabinoids will start to degrade with time.
nirvana is the bottom of the barrel forgenetics imo...try gage green,sannies,or sensi seeds...i grew skunk #1 from sensi,it was 40$ for 10seeds and dank as hell
Dont waste your time or money i have done alot of Nirvana stuff and would say that one of the worst i have done is the Super Skunk, its weak and isnt a good yielder, There Northern Lights is alright and Bubblelious is o,k. as is the citral, K2 and aurora indica, Wonder Woman, Snow White
