I've been a consumer of fine foods longer than you have been learning to prepare it. I can spot grass fed from corn, organic from slat nutrients in vegetables grown here regardels of how long I feed or flush. I've been privy to the finest cuts of meats and the purest refinement of cannabis buds for the bulk of my life. If it took 3 months for your weed to taste right you messed up. curing ferments the unburned carbs in your weed, those come for different reasons, overfed/fed to the end, an ill plant not processing correctly, ill grow space, improper resources, etc. curing in a jar ferments the cabbage, rendering it with less sugars, less carbs etc as the thc converts to more sleepy effects on you, no doubt better than any flavor or effect you may have had when the buds snapped dry. perhpas, but not the answer to good weed, maybe the answer to fixing fucked up weed?
