Plants harvested at 42 days of flowering?!?!

Plants were harvested after only flowering for 42 days under 12/12 400 watt HPS. The buds actually look great. tons of trics, although i cant tell if they are amber yet either but there are definately alot of them. I dried for about 1 week and now i am curing my buds in tupperware. when i smoke it i definately get stoned but it doesn't exactly taste like weed. Will curing make the buds more potent?(smell and taste?)

I've learned from experience that CURING in an airtight jar makes a ton of difference in potency and in taste. I can taste and feel the difference in a bud cured one wek and a bud cured 30 days.
And I normally FLOWER 8 and half weeks, about 60 days.
