I
think you can do it with anything you like. From what I understand most people do it with sats because it does some magic to the THCa (which on its own isnt psychoactive) and sativas have a higher THCa content. the only reason I could think of that may cause issues would be the density of flowers - sativas tend to be a bit airier so would be less susceptible to mould during the curing process.
Ive heard some theories that one of the reasons thai sticks were so good was due to this type of cure - not in corn husks mind you but they were wrapped tight for storage and transport so they didnt go through a normal curing process – a more anaerobic cure does some crazy things.
wasnt going to reply to this as the other guys pretty much covered it but I'd already typed it out so fuckit
