Curing

Do buds tighten up and get harder during curing?

How long does process take?

Thanks

Maybe a little but not much. They dry out of course which in a way makes them "harder" but I dont think that is what you mean. They do not get more dense. If they are airy and fluffy wet, they will be airy and fluffy dry.

Cure takes around 30 days. Some strains cure quicker than others.

As they lose water they shrink, therefore get denser. They will do most of this during the drying phase, and will continue to shrink slightly during curing. Takes as long as you take to dry and cure.

Curing is probably one of the most important phases of your cultivation cycle. Keep your curing room or tent dark, cool and a constant humidity of 50%.

the longer the cure the better the smoke. when i open a new jar it has been curing for at least six months. GL

If you want hard dense buds then lower your temps in your flower room to around 68...works for me..

I disagree with this statement. I find that to be very strain dependant. I have had strains that seemed to have peaked around 2 weeks in the jar and some that take months.

how can u disagree with a preference? 2 weeks? why cure at all, just dry and smoke. GL

IMO, Six months is too long(degradation) three for me is Purrfect!
