It just goes to show that there's no excuse for shitty bud! When I see someone bust open a sack of rancid nugs, I just wanna kick the bastards in the face that let that happen.. sometimes it's the grower who doesn't cure it or flush it properly, or losers that transport it really crappy.

There's nothing better than nice homegrown nugs. My new friend should have a harvest ready in a few weeks. Maybe he'll be comfortable enough to let me trim with him! Best nugs I've ever smoked. Yours looks nice too. I love buds that have had a nice manicure. Once again, nice nugs, eligal. I hope they smoke good. :heart:

To cure budz properly I find that putting the buds in front of a strong fan for a minimum of 4 days is best. You really want your budz bone dry before you put them into canning jars. If you have them too wet and not bone dry have fun with bud mold! Literally you should have no moisture. 5% moisture is what your buds are supposed to have which is really nothing. You have can your buds 0% moisture and jar them if you environment has 50% humidity, since the air is going to water in it.

well, one can't really say how many days to have buds fan drying for, because it all depends on how dense the bud you're drying is. some big ass colas can take a week and a half to dry. and NO you do NOT want to bone dry your bud to cure, that defeats the purpose of curing. All you'll have then is some harsh smoke.

what a person needs to do is dry their buds until the stem they are attached to snaps clean(no bending, a clean snap). the stems should be dry, yes, but the buds should still be a bit moist in the center.

The idea of curing is to sweat this inner moisture outward to spread it evenly throughout the bud so it gets evenly dried, when you see the moisture building up in the jars, you take the buds out and feel them again, and youll see that the inner moisture is not drawn to the outside. You just give them some fresh air, letting the moisture evaporate, then seal buds back in jar and keep doing this until there is no more moisture sweating out of the bud. that is the process of curing as i see it.

Drying them that fast seems shady to me. That's what bullshit growers do when they're only concerned with money.

Cure your buds properly. Drying them that fast is going to wreck the buds. Water cure them if you want a start to finish process that's going to be under 2 weeks... and end up with a very smokable product.

water curing is when you submerge your freshly harvested buds in water for ~7 days straight, changing the water to fresh water once every day. then you dry it in dehydrater and its ready to smoke.

correct me if i am wrong, thats what i remember about it. its good for those who use chemical fertz and didnt flush them out. it will flush out that disgusting taste. or if u get nasty bud off the street that needs flushed, u can water cure them when dry as well, i believe. im thinking it will work if you get molds too, but not sure.

Its not reccommended for commercial growers because you lose a lot of weight. but for the personal grower who wants the smoothest smoke and more thc by weight, water curing is the way to go.

like i said, if im wrong, somebody needs to correct me, i rememeber this from the OG article they had on it.

No need for corrections as far as my experiences were concerned. :smile:

I tried this with fresh bud as I had no other option at the time. I took the plunge as it was relatively moist, and I'd say not even cured for more than 2 weeks. Still a great stone, but weird, moist bud.

The results were excellent. I used a zig zag white, rolled backwards (gum facing inwards to minimize the amount of paper) and the ashes were so incredibly whispy! I should have dried it a little better, but smoked it mainly out of anticipation.

Once the water cured, semi-fresh buds were fully dried, I had similar results. This time the bud really shrank down but smoked awesome in a joint. I was a bit disappointed that even the bone dry buds would shrink with snipping. I could have used an electric grinder, but what a lot of work for a simple joint!

I tried the same thing with REAL fresh buds, just harvested off the plants and trimmed. I manicured them and did the same thing. Wow, the results were a LOT better. Granted, I am very familiar with this exact strain and F1 as my friends been growing it for years and I typically have a good supply. MMM... the flavors were very crisp, the ashes where very whispy and white as a ghost, and the bud shrank down just a little bit compared to the other, odd buds I used. I would disregard the first test as the beds were very soft and questionable to begin with. Very good buds, but too rubbery.

I think it's really worth tinkering with, but I don't always have access to fresh bud. And although this is a FOAF, he charges $100 for a half oz of his stuff because he does not deal. Just needs help with the rent due to a knee injury and old age. I am still gracious for his expensive-ass buds!!! Going to smoke some right now seeing as how I smoke ultra light these days (average of 5-8 puffs a week at most). :smile:
