Is curing always better than just drying?

Question about vaccum sealing with say a Food-Saver...would the best course of action be to dry your buds, cure them in jars untill they are where you want them...then what happens if you were to seal them up in the vaccum bags ? Would humidity change in the bags ? or would they stay prime ?

Well when I cure, I leave them in the jars, that's where they stay prime.
But it's an interesting question.

I would say, when you put them in the bag let most of the air out, then store in a cool, dark, place.

I am about to put a humidity meter inside the foodsafe vacuum sealed bag, along with the properly dried and cured flower, and I shall let you know my findings

So after reading this thread, I can't tell if it's about curing/drying or whether weed smokes better dry or wet.
1) Most of the starches are burned off burning the drying period anyway
2) the more starches burned off, the better, so a longer cure should theoretically be better with diminishing returns.
2) smoking wet stuff sucks. I use damprid on my headstash to get it bone dry before smoking. I hate smoking wet weed
Even with 55% humidity in the air, the buds will still pull in moisture from the air in many cases.

I have been using cure caps to monitor the humidity in my mason jars.

I'm from Alabama and i've been growing for the past 7 years.
Ppl from legal states gets so caught up on curing,, " Hey,,, I cure for 3 months, Hey I cure for 6 months,, etc etc.., which is really pointless after about a month tops..
My first 2 grows my weed smelled like hay, only because I dried too fast and pulled too early.
If your plant does not smell "Loud" before and after drying, its not going to be "Loud" regardless of how long you play peek a boo with your mason jars. You can fool yourself into thinking the faint smell that you smell after your so called cure is the smell coming back but its not.. If I had to sit around with pounds and open and close jars all fucking day for months,just to get the noticeable smell and a good taste,,,, I would not be growing weed.
So just say if you wanted 15% water content in your buds at the end of your cure, it doesnt matter how you dry it,,, as long as its slow, because when it comes to weed, curing in jars, ins a sense, is slowing down the drying process, but in actuality your only re-moistening the weed and drying it all over again with your jars.
Just dry it slow,, ppl compare curing weed with fine wine,, but wine is sealed and the cure starts, but most ppl think playing with their jars for weeks is curing when all they had to do is leave the plant hanging with a slow dry... Say or think what you want, only because you've never tried it..
Just like in the past Fox Farm and Advanced Nutrients had a lot of y'all hypnotized, like you were really gonna feed your plants and the plants could distinguish between Fox Farm and Miracle Gro...
I grow mainly outdoors. but also work with others indoors, and when I harvest my plants I hang as much of the plants as wholes as possible, in an empty cleaned and sanitized single wide trailer. with a fan for circulation, no temp control, but temps stay between 70 & 80F wheneva I dry.
After about 6 or 7 days its ready for sale. But whateva is not sold it goes into double paper bags which are folded and kept in a cool closet, as long as you dry your pine correctly and long enough the paper bags will cure your weed just as good as jars, no burping needed, When the buds are how I want them in bags, then I put them in jars, only to conceal the smell.
So all the ppl who thinks curing is the only thing that makes weed STANK, you are wrong.
Down here in the south, if you can't smell the weed in somebodys pocket before they even pull it out, nobody down here wants it. This doesn't apply to medical patients here in bama, because we dont have any ,,legally,, ,yet! But 90%,, notice I did say 90%,, of time if the weed has a very strong aroma it will have some good medicinal qualities..
But curing is for most ppl that are legal anyways, & ppl that have too much time on their hands, & ppl that can just have weed just laying around, like "Fuck The Police",,,because when it comes down to it, if the legal growers were in an illegal state, i'd put my life on it that their answers to making your weed smell "Loud" or dank as y'all say, would be a long shot from curing for weeks & months..
Maybe the way y'all cure might make my sannies sugar punch that taste like a pack of starbusrt, taste like some thing else or maybe even make my killing fields that taste like grapes and a gas tank taste like something else.
This summer I said fuck Panama City Beach, we went to Denver,, all the growers on the net from Colorado always saying that their weed is this and that, """""""""""'BULLSHIT""""""""""""'',,, most of y'all weed smells like a fucking barn, and I grabbed sacks from quite a few places up there and 90% of that shit smelled bad, but looked real good tho.... CALIFORNIA has the best weed hands down that i've tried..
We used to get 3lbs a month shipped, from cali Gdaddy Purp & Purple Kush, OMFG!!! Cali growers are the FUCKING BOMB!! If somebody has Purp Kush & Gdaddy Purp that taste better than theirs,, I don't want none... and that was from 3 different growers.. If it wasn't for my relations ship with them, I would probably still be a part of the mason jar gang.
Just thank about it,,, Schwag will have a pungent odor if concealed,, so if your growing quality strains and a ounce or two in jars, your bound to have a faint smell after your playtime with the mason jars,, but IT WILL NOT BE LOUD!!!!! As far as taste,,,,,I can't speak on, because mine always taste good, and if it aint broke don't break it....
