Curing is overrated

Zephyrs said:

Well some cure and some like the OP don't, why cause he prob just in it for a quick $$ turn around I would suspect. The reason why I still have 7 month cured bud from last year is simple, it's way smoother therefore more of my meds per toke. Which in turn increases the medical benifts that my conditions require. It's All personal preference people. Some peeps grow for $ some like me grow way better product because my body, not greed tells me too..

Couldnt have said it better myself.

Op is a dip shit!

What color ash do cigarettes produce? Ash color is more about moisture content than being flushed or cured or not

what's the supposed difference here, some kind of leftover residue but what actually is it?

Haha 45% dryed too the crisp

A darker ash can be observed in flower that is high in residual salts, sugars, chlorophyll and other unwanted impurities in a truly top shelf smoke. More prevelent in a growing style that consists highly of bottle nutes and improper flush and/or a natural senescence is not achieved.

BS. Cigarettes burn white and they are chock full of chemicals, additives, and impurities.

Early on, white ash in tobacco cigars and cigarettes was accomplished by adding magnesium or calcium acids, nitrates or carbonates. Burning any of these acids in your cigarette will cause alkaline earth metal oxide to form, which imparts a white color to the ash that is left behind.10

The main takeaway is that white ash forms at high combustion temperatures and is mostly made up of minerals. This should lead us to question the doctrine that white ash comes from flushed cannabis plants.

Moist weed = lower combustion temperature = darker ash. Burn anything long enough and it turns white

This article explains that degradation of chlorophyll, sugars ect... essentially beginning the job a cure process does during the last couple weeks of flwr makes better smoke and white ash.

sieht so aus als ob das mit der weissen Asche nur Quatsch ist...

Wait. That looks like you are curing untrimmed marjuana. Or you lost it and now you trying to get it back? Whats going on there?

I seriously doubt that's his product anyhow. He was over in Politics stating that he was scraping his bong out because he can't afford to buy a gram until next Friday.

Besides, how is cannabis located in a sealable container with a Boveda humidipak and a hygrometer not curing?

SFnone said:

it isn't that it adds potency moron, it changes the type of high by allowing time to break certain things down. go back to the political section and rant about how you aren't going to vote in an absurd attempt to stick it to the establishment. nobody likes you.

Dammit ... you stole my chance at sarcasm

All it is is slowing down the drying right? If too dry add an orange peel, too wet add a brown paper towel. 2-3 months curing yeah right.., doesn’t change potency. Maybe some of you have cashed lungs and you think it’s a smoother hit. Personally I don’t think so. Some have said big growers with excessive supply simply market this curing thing as an excuse to get top dollar months after harvest. This is due to excessive supply. But meanwhile you are destroying the bud.

Orange peel , piece of fucking tortilla , bread , or other lame brotastic myth. Just add a fucking fan leaf with the buds .
You cure to vape off the remaining chlorophyll to lessen the “ green “ taste as bacteria breaks it down. Curing allows the terp profile to stay intact . Maybe you prefer street swag taste .... but If you ran perpetuals in grows you would always have weed going .

Nice cigar can. At least you know to use Boveda packs...but why is humidity at 45?

Click to expand...

Probably a spent boveda .... if it was viable it would hold Rh for a lousy pic.
There is some browning on that upper left bud that don’t look too good.
If it really has dropped to 45 , cure is over.

To those who don't understand what a cure does.
Go try and win a cannibus cup without a cure on your smoke, lol... I dare ya!

Cure is over at 45%, ill never understand that. You dont even need a jar to cure just time for changes to happen meaning that once its dried futher changes happen.

Great hash makers simply hung plants for a long time and low humidity didnt impead the changes discussed here. For them extra dry bud released the trichs much better and would go past the point we dry to.

I dont find much substance in what a lot say, yes you did tests or found it better one way but actually this subjects been cracked by past growers long before we were born.

45% dosent bother me but naturally jar humidity will rise over time to a stable point, boveda just take advantage and help those who struggle with the other techniques like early jarring excess moisture, i dont mind the product just anyone good can do without and produce the same bud.

Curing is a myth if you grow with salts.

With natural bud, the flavor can change from dirt to moss to sweet to sour, to very specific candy flavors youll remember for decades. And those end product metabolites do contribute to the effect, significantly.

This site truly shows why the world is the way it is. Its obvious that most of the " growers" on here are great at reading shit on Google then twisting it in 100 ways. I mean god forbid if anyone has or does something different than what these kids have read on Amazon. This is a fun site to relax to and laugh at not be serious about growing.

A good cure is always appriciated and is smoother on the lungs i think.
