[qwizoking]

Oh wow......
Lol

So where you from dub?
Just curious

 

[dubcoastOGs]

yes..yes... like all my posts... BWahahaha... successssss

I live where no man lives. I breathe air no man breathes. I cure my weed.

I see your perspective a little clearer and to a point I do agree. growing good genetics properly is going to produce good bud. I just like mine "aged" a bit... Personal preference does play into our perspectives quite a bit. I was just pointing out what seemed as being initially argumentative.

I also think it goes pretty far with the meters and all that... but remember that the first grow getting a decent dry and cure can be the toughest thing. I think they are onto something with the boveda humidity packs for long-term storage. Seems that it keeps the bud from going brown. ...... Now if I could just get my bud to stick around for long-term storage...LOL

QWISO is a good guy.

Michigan's pretty fuckin sweet. Dont really know why an irrelevant matter such as state comes into play, except to serve as a distraction.... a cunty thing to do.

Mobile phones sometimes make mistakes, so I will clarify it was directed at your dumbass.

thanks for taking the time to hear me out. And yes there is no correct perspective. We all have different tastes, in everything, goes far beyond weed.
and about that guy qwizo... I couldn't agree more, I tried to rep him but looks like ive done it too many times.

and us folks in michigan, we also have a hard time keeping buds in our jars. You can only tip cows and fuck our sisters for so long. Lol (sarcastic humor)

 

[dubcoastOGs]

No... your wrong. I'm right.

I love this thread

A women working at dispensary here in Colorado told me she couldn't smell, I was embarrassed that I was being recommended different strains per her request! It all smelled like hay, had no terpene profile whatsoever, and all looked hazy brow, and she stood by it all! I came to the conclusion some people don't have the same palate or nasal senses as me and some others, and they don't know shit about flavor or connoisseur quality! But it's all good! She couldn't smell, as for the other people! What is your excuse?

There is no hay smell around here, only some of the dankest, most powerful smelling cuts. I'd like to think I have a great connisures pallet and nose. These additude seeds don't compare. Imo

yea, I can smell just fine thank you


maybe it's the fruity, sweet, or grassy strains that need a cure to taste good. All my cuts are top notch in the taste and flavor dept.

 

[dubcoastOGs]

WHoah! That's soooo cool dooooddd

 

[chewberto]

So smoking it after dry without hitting a jar, tastes the same as a properly jarred and cured batch to you?

 

[k0ijn]

People cure weed for the same reasons people who make cigars cure the tobacco.

Allow me to quote myself so I don't have to type it out again:

The thing is that the idea and science behind curing marijuana is directly adapted from the science behind curing cigars.
What you said is correct and translates into why the curing stops ~55% RH.
For cigars it's obviously mainly focused on the improvement of flavour and aroma but the basic principles translate.

By curing cannabis you allow carboxyl groups in various compounds to degrade and release CO2, thereby leaving behind the decarboxylated active cannabinoids, which increases the potency (assuming the cannabis was grown and harvested correctly).
Chlorophyll also dissipates during the dry & cure which in turn improves flavour and aroma.

What you want is a steady slow cure from 65% RH to 55% RH inside the curing 'container' (the cannabis can be stored safely for long periods @ 55% RH).
The basic principles is that the more care and perfection you can carry out in the cure the better product you end up with.

Perhaps you lack the ability to taste the difference between uncured and cured marijuana but that doesn't mean the science behind it doesn't "work".

Saying curing doesn't do anything would be like saying cigar manufacturers waste a lot of their money and time on curing tobacco for no reason.

Pulling it out of jar, I notice it burns better. Maybe a slight difference in flavor, but I would not say it's soooo much better. My buds reak. Not smell a little stinky, I'm talking about a pill bottle in the trunk of my BMW will make make care smell like a skunk soaked in diesel fuel and gasoline, topped with pinesol. And that's right after I trim them. I've smoke weed for over 20 years, and have to say, it's all about strain selection, and how dialed in your grow is. I don't notice cure having much effect at all.

 

[kgp]

Again, this is my own opinion....

the glass jar does nothing but keep the buds from drying out, to me...

 

[dubcoastOGs]

again. Your opinion is fucking just flat out wrong.

Hahahahah
I just read your post.

I wonder if it only smells from the trunk of a ""BMW"" ?

you just proved your from Michigan, and again. You don't matter.

I love you though... either way

perhaps I do lack the ability to distinguish cured and uncured buds. Then again, all my friends and patients must also. I know I'm from michigan, but I have a strong following and the uncured buds don't last long at all.

 

[dubcoastOGs]

man. this guy is really self centered.

It's cool man, Your great. We think your great!

 

[chewberto]

It's a shame you dont appreciate the metamorphosis that takes place with these beautiful flowers when it is properly cared for in the dry/cure process! Still, I will respect your opinion!

And I respect yours. Thank you for adding positive info and contributing good info to the discussion.

I am new here and don't want to upset anyone but I see points from both sides

Bud dried in dryer hotter weather, in my opinion HAS to cure before even trying to smoke it. usually still wet deep in the bud, smells funky etc.

I have seen it dry in cooler, more humid weather to where it takes several weeks to slow dry, in my opinion can be very smooth and no cure necessary.
