The curing is going very well. I think 2 more weeks. The nuggets are rock hard and dense. The odor is not like anything I have smelled before. Like a cross between skunk and grapefruit. I like it. The butter is outstanding. Very good for all my symptoms, not the couch lock I expected, but a very relaxing yet uplifting medicated effect. I gave some to a friend that also has Muscular Dystrophy, he likes the brownies also and has a vaporizer. He said the quality is exceptional. I do not plan to smoke any, so a smoke report is hard to do. This may seem odd, but of all the people I know, only one smokes cannabis, and she knows nothing about my grow. I may think of something to tell her so I can give her a little and get a report. I do not think that I have lost much in weight, buds seem perfect and my friend said it vaped well, with a skunky, fruity and hash taste.
My dry and cure process ;
Cut down into branches from main stem
Complete trim, discard fan leaves, saved all trim with "snow"
Hung in my tent at 75 deg with 45 to 50 % humidity for 4 days
Placed in brown paper bags filled with strips of shredded brown paper bags for 3 days
Buds a little crispy and stems bend but do not snap
Clean buds, little or no stems
Place in mason jars
First 3 days removed buds and placed on news print every 12 hours for 2 hours
Next 8 days removed buds and placed on news print every 24 hours for 1 hour
Now the buds are very dry, I should not have a mold issue.
Remember every grow is different, this worked for my plants moisture level, you may need to make changes as you go along
They are now sealed and I just check on them, I plan to give them 2 more weeks and then I may try a vaporizer , my doctor said it would be a good way to go.
