Curing not required for tincture

OK , here ...and not in the processing forum

So there is time vs humidity

Humidity helps enzymes to get rid of undesired materials... which would cause a harsh smoke..

But I am not smoking a certain portion


So how about hanging the plants to dry in the grow house ..stick in a dehumidifier crank it up/down to 60% decarb and make tincture

The reason for dehumidifying the fact that decarbing wet would take to long?



Please correct me?

Enzymes destroy quality when drying flower. We are inhibiting as best we can to retain as much terpenes and cannabinoids ad possible.

Its over fertilizing and not flushing that makes harsh smoke. And enzymes dont remove excess fertilizer. It can be converted from say an alcohol or acid form to a keytone or carboxyl form but not removed. The excess nutrients might still be able to get in your tincture.

You are correct in your reasoning to use dried material instead of fresh to increase its effectiveness.

That being said their may be a way to make tincture fresh and effective.
I experimented putting fresh cut and trimmed buds into coconut oil. Let the oil pull cannabinoids and Terps for a week and it was good to go. It worked good eating or cooking with it. Or in coffee. It had a strong 'green' cannabis flavor. And sometimes a teaspoon on an empty stomach would burn fierce in the stomach. I imagine dried would have been better tasting and easier on the stomach and pallet.
