Hey D, did your cure go ok while you were on vacation (holiday)?
Mine went pretty well, although I didn't do it exactly the way that I planned to. Just to refresh your memory, I needed to go on a 2-week vacation trip right after I chopped down my plant. I hung all of the buds in my grow cabinet with no air flow at first, but then my house started to stink up, so I
turned the exhaust fan on low. When I came back 2 weeks later and sampled a bud, it was hard and dry on the outside, but still wet on the inside. But the wetness was from sticky resin, not from water. And the buds aren't crumbly at all. I think that the resin on the outside of the bud holds it all together like glue.
Anyway, this stuff is really potent, which is the most important thing to me. It's a little harsh when I get a thick hit of vapor or when I smoke it, though. Has a
lemony-amonia aftertaste. I put everything in jars last week, so it can cure some more. But drying it slowly like I did seemed to work out ok, although I would have jarred it much earlier had I not been away on vacation. Here's a link to some pics & info from my journal:
