Yeah i agree ro a point w white.. Iv had good tasting weed a week after drying.. But a lot of ppl wouldn't of liked it.. Here where im from it would be gold... Legal smokers and connoisseurs might throw rocks at it.. But i like a lil dirty taste now and again.. But cured weed.... Well let me rephrase... Properly cured weed is just the tits.. U can really bring out some hidden flavors when done correctly
Yeah I didn't mean it would be perfect but a week off the plant my bud is better than 90 percent of top shelf dispensary weed at least in northern California maybe weeds better everywhere else?

I've only been growing 4 years but that has never been true in my grows. I've had plenty of good pot. I've given out bud less than 2 weeks off the plant everyone commented on how amazing the taste was.
How many times have you done a proper cure? Have you actually tasted pot cured for a month or two?

Cannabis can put on 25% of its weight in the last two weeks. Why starve it?


Then the fact you don't smoke leaves. The leaves turn yellow but when they do they are moving the nutrients to new growth and the bud. You can't flush nutrients from a plant.

I never said better. I think you misread my post I was saying the cure is not needed for good tasting pot. Yes a good cure can bring out different and better flavors but if your bud tastes bad at any point that's grower error. I used to grow lots of bud that needed a cure to taste ok when I got better at growing it tasted good right away.

I would love to try some! I have sfv og now it's a little smoother after a couple months but I kinda miss that fresh flavor. Have you tried freeze dried bud yet? I haven't just curious.

I agree 2000% weed can taste good after the dry.. Really well imo.. But man its not gonna be as good as it would be if u cured it... I picked buds off.. Dry em in foil and a toaster oven.. And i liked it... But any weed u grow will taste way better if u cure it... Think of how well ur chronic will taste w month or 2 cure.. Itll be off the chain.. Sorry for misreading

Some bugs are ok but ur correct.. Dont bring em in.. You could leave it in the cold weather or maybe get some neem and make a organic pesticide Of sorts...my buddy who is a bug removal expert.. An all around expert tbh, hasnt been on for awhile @greasemonkeymann ...if u ever get a chance hit him up... But another guy that can prob help and is a really good guy is @Rasta Roy ....he knows more about that than i would.. I have got really lucky when it comes to that deal.. I get bugs on the plants more... But u may also be able to recompost that compost.. Id make a pile and use that compost as ur dirt... Its gotta be a thermal pile though for this theory to work... If rasta pops up he will set me straight if im full of shit lol
Captain Jack's Dead Bug Brew , which is a Spinosad bug spray, is always good to have on-hand. Works really well, and is one of the most recommended. A Pyrethrum-based and neem-oil bug sprays are also good to have around You can get both anywhere (Home Depot, Walmart, etc...). Just look at the ingredients.

Learning to do a good ass cure.. W proper moisture.. Proper dryness.. Proper temps.. And proper care will do wonders for ur already great tasting weed
Ive been over drying mine. I watched some video's on youtube how to cure and they all say hang plant until the stems snap. well its always too dry at that point! pisses me off. i backed off and cured some that were still a little moist and a week later it smelled like ammonia.

1521022868447-49999528.jpg this is my first grow and was wanting some input on where I am and if I'm doing ok, I mean I know it's sinsamella (spelled wrong possibly, but no seeds) it is a bagseed, 5 cfls 2700k, and I know I know I shouldn't have but it was here when I got the idea, I used scotts MG. Never any liquid nutes just what the MG provided and my status is beginner with a lot of read knowledge, but still need help. Thanks! L2D2

Not bad for your first grow and cfl's. You might be a pretty good grower if you had more to work with. Your plant looks like some good medicine.
