Proper cure is 3 months. So the terpenes polymerize and the trichome heads completely dry.

After 1 month is good to smoke

Only burp once a week. If you burp constantly then curing / decarboxilation doesn't take place. Thats the release of c02 gases and depletion of chlorophyll. And at the same time thca converting to thc. Basically becoming more potent.

You can't tell by pics. You can tell by flavor and high.
 
Like fine wine, the longer the cure the smoother it is. I am smoking some of last winters right now.... damn it is fine!

lol you never fail to entertain.







year old cure? damn man, i wouldnt go that far. it might be a lil smoother but all the goodies are breaking down as well





cure 55-60. 62 is boveda pack and fine, but too moist fpr many smokers preference and can support mold growth

3 week
 
If you can let it cure at a proper humidity level like 62 % it will keep getting better, make sure that you keep in a well sealed container.
 
And the buds became les green mean what
Less green means that chlorophyll is breaking down. Like fresh cut grass has that smell, it goes away when it turns yellow. Bud is the same way only slower is best. The more months go by the less need to burp if at all. Again hygrometers work really well at this point because they let you know how to keep the buds at that humidity, boveda packs are your friend unless you continue to smoke this on a regular basis. Dunno about your headache you said awhile back but might still need some curing. Should be great to smoke now but they have found reason that bud not cured completely can cause mild side effects like headaches. Keep at it

Thanks I buy some boveda 62 and 6 of my jar read 57 to 62 rh did I need still burping ?
 
it depends..
how long your bud took to dry. i would just say 2 weeks, and if it starts to smell bad more often or longer time to let those gasses out


i burp, so long as rh is good-roughly twice maybe 3 times a week for 2 weeks then weekly for 2months... then its good to go head stash
i also dry for 7-10 days



that's worked well for me..
 
Now he will be 6 week of curing, I started see some black leave on my buds and I dont know why, dont think this is mold and dont smell moldy
