Hi everyone

Since there is a lot of attention on this lp, I thought IDE start my own thread

Here we go

60g of master kush

Shipped in white containers

As soon as I opened up the first container, I was happy

Saw 1.5g buds up on top. It has a dark colour, but frosted white all over.

60g of all bud, no shake. All bud manicured at about 98% perfection. You can't complain about this at all.

The smell isn't overwhelming, but certainly has a nice kush smell to it. When breaking a bud open, it releases more, and a little more of an exotic kush smell.

I just had about half a one paper. It has a kick!!! Indica effects, within 5 mins I was feeling nice, and put it out. Has a good taste as well, nothing funny there. It's master kush, so tats and smell are what was pretty much expected.

I did burn a on the black side opposed to a white ash. I will keep my eyes on this.

Keep in mind, I've been using high grade kushs for the last several months, so I have a more then decent tolerance, and my opinion is.....it's good....on par with all I smoke (only smoke bc grown)

I really look forward

Damn, started posting pics, and forgot my conclusion....

I'm looking forward to seeing their other strains that they will produce.

I've seen a lot of words like swag being associated with lp's.....this is not one of them.

Oh yeah. A good review?

Sure doesn't look the same as posted from that green bottle.

Thanks. I'm glad to see those pics ......looking pretty frosty to say the least....what did you think about the dryness of the buds?

They are cured very well. Dry but not crumpy dry
Excellent....looking forward to being Able to purchase some in the following weeks. Did they give u any idea of when the next batch will be ready to buy? ..they've been very vague...just saying end of June to me

sorry....confused you with the other person who posted up some of what you just did..in the other post.

so...ya...I guess it makes sense that it looks different? It is the same strain from the same company is it not? . :)

Your looks OK :)

You say it's cured very well DubL . How long do you figure they cured it for?

I'm not to sure what pic you are referring to

But yeah, it is good. I just on another one right now, and she tastes sweet, and burns great.

I wouldn't be able to give you an accurate day count on the curing process.

But, it's got the dry and sticky feel...buds will mould together when pressed against, and buds stick to your finger if you press hard enough.

I don't think you could ask for a better cured product only if you have the odd preference

That's just it though, Curing takes weeks.
I'm sure it's dried properly...That's one of the most important parts of growing. It all should be dried correctly.
It's just not possible for it to be cured in such a short amount of time.

Yeah curing takes a while. I've heard of some growers curing for months to a year or more depending on the strain. We definitely won't be seeing any long cures from these LPs.

I've cured/stored medicine for as long as 16 months. Much like a fine wine, cannabis will improve with age (to a point) pretty much across the board: smoother smoke, improved flavour, increased potency, aroma, etc. I do not even sample until 6 weeks of cure time as I have found that the vast majority of strains do not achieve their full potential until this stage. A proper cure is both an art and a science, and it takes practice and experience to optimize. Every jar of my medicine contains a small digital hygrometer to ensure that the proper humidity levels are being constantly maintained throughout the cure. They tell you when the jars need to be burped, and when the buds have hit the sweet spot and can be sealed up for long-term storage.

I keep all of my jars in my cellar where it is cool and dark, and I notice improvements in taste and overall quality all the way up to about a year while still maintaining most of its potency, although the smoke will gradually become stonier as THC naturally degrades over time. You will see a resulting decrease in overall potency, but with proper storage the loss of potency is minimal up until about a year, and the terpene profile constantly evolves over time, providing a slightly different smell, taste, and effect every time you open the jar.

Any LP that is pushing medicine out the door prior to a proper cure is not putting their product in the best possible light, as there is no comparison between buds after only 1 or 2 weeks of curing and buds after a proper 6 week cure. Patients that are buying in bulk can store their medicine in air-tight mason jars in a cool dark place to complete the curing process if it hasn't been properly to begin with, although this won't be an issue with the good LP's. If humidity gets a little out of whack during shipping, the little Boveda 62% humidipacks work wonders and will regulate the humidity in your jars and keep your medicine in optimum storage conditions.

Well that's a pretty rigorous schedule of a year or more. I mostly agree with all your points. In my own personal experience, I find the jar stored weeds starts to be less desirable after about 6 months. Although I have a only a dark room temp area to store it so maybe cooler would be better. I only store in glass. Anyway for me it's gone by that point. I'm pretty happy with it after 6 weeks mostly. Yes the more time will make it smoother. That's where some times I feel the flavor suffers after too long a cure. For instance Lemon skunk will loose some of the lemony tang after more than 4 months curing. So without actually doing a study my opinion is that some strains may need more....some less.

Great points. I've also found the opposite in that I prefer the taste of some strains after a longer cure. I find that with a lot of Kush crosses, the Kush tends to overpower whatever it is crossed with. After a longer cure, the earthy bite of the Kush is often smoothed out to let the milder, sweeter, and fruitier flavours of the cross come through. I totally agree about some strains losing their zing over time, but at that stage it is both strain-specific and a matter of personal taste. Lower temperatures make a huge difference in maintaining taste/potency/quality during long term storage, as does maintaining the correct humidity levels.

To clarify, a year or more certainly isn't my standard, but I like variety and often end up having strains in jars for that long before they are all used up. Personally, I think that 6 weeks is optimal and anything beyond that is just out of storage necessity or personal preference. The major limitation that LP's face in terms of curing are the strict QA standards which the final product has to meet before sale. The longer the product is stored before sale, the more time for bacteria to grow and multiply. Cure too long, and it is counter-productive as they may need irradiation to get bacteria counts down to acceptable levels.

This is just one area where LP's are hand-cuffed by the regulations which are unnecessarily strict. As a result, their primary focus and concern has to be passing all QA specs, and things like a longer cure for optimum taste and potency have to come second. Over time, Health Canada will become educated and loosen some of their QA requirements to more reasonable levels, allowing LP's to focus on things like optimizing a slow cure for taste and potency. Unfortunately, with HC scrutinizing everything QA-related at the moment, LP's don't have much room for experimentation or error.....the longer they have medicine in storage, the greater chance that the batch will eventually exceed allowable parameters.

I think that this is also a factor in why we are seeing larger producers like Tweed sell out in a matter of hours rather than keeping their patient numbers to a manageable level where they could trickle out product at a more gradual rate and ensure a constant supply. By getting it all out the door as quickly as possible after it is tested and good to go, it greatly reduces the liability of the bigger producers with huge batch sizes. We have already seen a recall due to a batch failing secondary testing.

How much cure time do you think we are getting from the BM and CCs?
My guess...zero. Dry it, package it and sell it.
It would be a good selling feature from the LPs though, is it mentioned on any of their sites?
