I guess growing conditions would be 2nd to genetics but I was assuming "normal" growing conditions anyways, if your trying to grow in concrete obviously its not going to work.

Uncured bud is much more harsh and doesn't have a very nice flavor.

If the weed is not going to be sold on the market then you should try the water cure. Seven days in the water and then just dry it out and it is the smoothest, hardest-hitting weed it can be.

Why would you only do that if it's not going to be sold? Don't you want to sell as good a product as you can? I just don't understand, unless it's inefficient and a waste of your time for other people

Should I still burp them a bit? I don't want em going bad. The jars are all vaccuum sealed.
Leave the other 3 jars alone? They're stored in room temp away from light.
Thanks for any help on this. I don't want anything moldy or dry.
I'd say it was cured but not incredibly professional. New farmer this season.
Or should I clip all that trim off and roll a few bones out of it?
Appreciate any advice. First time I've had a large amount packaged in this fashion that'll last an entire winter.

I go 2-3 weeks in airtight mason jars in the fridge, then pull them out, put on lids with 1/4" holes drilled with a vent/filter (ez felt and silicone is great with a 1/4" hole.. same style some people use for mycology). I let that sit for a week or two, no burping necessary.
The quality is great after that, sometimes the bud will stay in the filter jars for a month or so and it keeps looking better.
.
I should have mentioned that during the 2-3 week initial fridge cure, the jars get burped every 3-5 days.

Sometimes when I buy bud off one of my guys, it seems moist, like it wasn't dried properly. Has a smell to it to.
I always thought it was something with the drying process but I know almost nothing about the process so I could never tell. I might throw some in a jar and do the techniques listed above to see if it makes a difference.

to specify better, 2-3 weeks in the fridge, burp every few days.
Then pull them out and put on a filtered lid like this:

They can be stored at room temp with a gas exchange style lid for many months and the buds will keep looking/smoking/tasting better over time.
If you don't have any mushroom style GE lids for mason jars, then just do something to allow a small amount of gas exchange so burping won't be necessary.
At that point, burping isn't really necessary. You could just keep them chillin in the airtight mason jars after they have been cured for a few weeks. but I have noticed an improvement in the quality by using a GE lid on jars that are stored for multiple months.

I'm pretty sure mpd was trolling with that water curing comment. I mean, would you really put your buds underwater for a week?
If I'm missing something, please explain

Im thinking he's talking about flushing they plants with water for 7 days before cutting them down. Take out the plant food so the weed burns/tastes better.
then long dry/cure the buds

I have done the water cure thing before on weed that didn't taste that great. Water soluble stuff (sugars and stuff I guess) comes out of it and it tastes cleaner. I think I only soaked it for a couple days. I think mpd was saying you wouldn't do it for weed you were selling because it reduces the weight to some degree. I don't think it does quite the same thing as a true cure, but you can do it on weed that was not cured properly.

There is drying and then curing. Slow dry then curing the buds in a glass jar is best, flavor wise.

Wow. I would never have thought to soak my weed in water until I read this. Well, except for making hash, of course.

So will my weed get smoother if I store them long term?
They've been cured a bit but it looks like a fast dry.
Do I need to worry about mold? It's not wet but it's not harsh.
Would opening the jars for an hour once a month to keep my winter stash in primo quality? I usually take the bud out and put it back in a diff way to rotate it out. Idk if this helps or hurts.
Been a very, very long time since I've had over an ounce and I only started smoking again recently. Dropped my pain meds from 3x 80mg extended release / 12x 30mg roxi down to 2x 40 oxycontin and 6x 20mg roxi.
It's beyond me as to why people think there's no medical benefit.
