All metabolic processes continue during curing. The conversion of cannabigerol to tetrahydrocannabinol will continue and the potency will increase. The exact change in THC content is dependent on the CBG content in the fresh material at harvest. I don't know what the mechanism to move CBG to CBD or other cannabinoids is but I'm sure it's happening. Ask google if you want to know more.

For those interested in fermented weed (Malawi Cobs), here are the test that show the increase in THC.
Note that this is weed from the same plant.

Sure they will continue until your product is dried, I’ll agree with that. But to heighten THC content? C’mon man.

Same weed but the testing done on the exact same day? That would mean both samples had the exact time to cure no?

That explains why weed doesn't hit you as much.I am , what do u mean?
Even worse when go clubbing and take a pill and just feel speedy instead of offit.

Weed is dried for about 4 days and cobbed. The flower was cured for 3 months. Both were submitted for testing on the same day. I would be interesting to see a flower tested at harvest, and then it's sibling tested after a cure.
I have flower almost ready now. It's seeded but it'll have to do. I'll take a bud, cut it down the middle and submit one third for testing on the day I cut. I'll submit another 3rd after a 4 week jar cure, then the last 3rd at the 3 month cure marc. I'll post the results as they come in.

The report you listed clearly has two different phenos/plants listed, definitely not the same plant as you stated. Both were submitted, and tested on the same day.
If you wanted to prove your point with testing results it'd help if you showed the same pheno/plant tested at two different times during the curing process.

The OP said he couldn't get high off of his premature buds, other person said curing it will unlock the thc, everyone else chuckled.They absolutely are from the same plant. One was cure in jars, the other cobbed.
I'm not talking about unlocking THC. I was assuming the OP said "unlocked" but meant "continues to metabolize thca to thc".
While slightly off topic, you could argue cobbing decarboxylates or "unlocks thc from thca" here (if you didn't know the word decarb) since it goes from thca to thc.

Another proof would be to take a half gram of a cob and chew it. If thc was still thca, you wouldn't feel a thing. So I dare ya. lol
I'm going to move out of this thread because this is starting to feel like people are pissing in the wind to keep the crowns they think they wear.

So sensitive. The report names one tested as Juanita La Lagrimosa 2 and the other as Juanita La Lagrimosa 3. Figured they were two different phenos. These test results are yours that you submitted samples for? If it was the same plant why is there two different strain names?They absolutely are from the same plant. One was cure in jars, the other cobbed.

If you're sending out 2 samples of the same plant to the same lab, you need a way to know which is flower and which is cob.

Just to pick one: https://homegrowncannabisco.com/grow-your-own-with-kyle-kushman/advanced-techniques/increase-thc-potency-cannabis/
"Curing: The post-harvest procedure involves draining the moisture out of the colas. It leads to better smell and enhanced effects. Although this procedure is already verified to increase the perceived potency of buds, there is still no proof that it raises the THC levels directly."
Keywords here are PERCEIVED POTENCY.
Properly cured weed burns better, tastes better and inhales smoother. So obviously your smoking experience is gonna be better and you're gonna perceive the bud as more potent.
Well....perception still is not scientific fact - unless for those who prefer to "choose their own narrative", of course.
