A good reason to cure your Bud

[Larry Badgeley]

Last year I cropped a Sweet Seeds Green Poison CBD. Due to the crazy heat I experienced in the loft, the plant just survived. When it was dried, manicured and jarred, the smell had almost gone and I didn't hold any hope for the end use after a cure. A couple of months of curing we had a joint and there was hardly any flavour. It was harsh and not very nice.

Roll on another 8 months and it is now an excellent smoke. Admittedly it hardly stinks but it is a very mellow hit with a good flavour profile and burns great. A good example me thinks to cure your bud regardless whether you may think all is lost.

Yep. I find bud that's been in the jars for a year or more is bloody amazing. Possibly because it has started to decarb?

I revisited some jars i had stored from 2021 recently, the bud was decent just never really took to it flavour wise..pleasantly suprised by 1 of them, its certainly changed a lot over the last 18 months and was really quite enjoyable

Same, I'm gutted that I gave half of my best smelling and tasting Psychos away, was amazing after just a couple of week and smoked within another couple

I dont have specifics but a few times its happened to me

yes the cure can really improve weed that ive thought was completely shot

ive put the worst bud, of a crop, in jars n it turned into something that I was semi-proud of

I'm learning this to be true 3 month and 6 months mark now 6 month what a difference!

I’ve especially noticed this in Landrace sativas. Dried, they’re “meh.”  One month of cure, they’re a bit better. 6 months of cure is like it might as well be totally different weed, with regards to potency. 
 

The cure really does change things. 

[mmmm...nice!]

I have about 3/4 oz of Nirvana's Gelato that I've managed to keep for two years now, was an 1 1/2 oz but I keep dipping   Tastes amazing...  sits me on my arse every time.

 

It's like having a 21 year old single malt that comes out on special occasions  

 

My first efforts at cobbing are now at 11 months old, gonna wait till their 1st birthday to resample after dipping at about 3 months...   Tasted amazing...

I do find after a few years it does lose it's flavour, even when it's stored airtight (i vac pack it).
