Want Bag Appeal? Curing Matters

Large cardboard boxes is what they cure in. They still hang dry usually in a barn full of fans. Air moving over the buds is what prevents the hay smell is what ive been told by some large growers.

Curing should be at least 2 weeks. Some strains can take up to 2 months to completely cure.

great guide but...

This isn't true, it is well known that haze sativas high changes dramatically from 3, to 6, to 9 to even 12 month cure, after that the thc begins to degrade (less potency) but my friend smoked some well kept weed (sativa dom) that was cured for 16 months, he had smoked over a lb of this stuff from fresh buds fast dried, 1 week after drying, after a 2 week cure, 3 month cure 6 month cure 9 and 12, so he knew this stuff.

The most notable change was from 6 months to 12 months, he said the high COMPLETELY changed. At 16 weeks the high changed again, it even tasted better giving a superior smoke, but was not as potent due to THC degradation.

Although the THC degrades, the plant matter, all the terpenes/plant tissue/essential oils ages like a fine cuban cigar, and taste changes with cure time too for the better or worse, depending on strain.

Keep in mind this was only ONE strain, EVERY strain differs in what happens with different cure time.

Thank you for this thread OP. This thread is as helpful and informative, if not moreso than the threads stickied to the top of the sub forum. I have subbed so that I can always view it.

Very informative!
Thanks.

No mention if the fact that curing only happens when the humidity in the jars is over 55%?

Apparently if your bud is too dry, curing is pointless.

Does anybody know if it would have any positive impact on the curing process to vacuum seal the jars or just close them as normal?
