I just finished a bowl of a 2 year aged dosi/mendo breath cross that we affectionately renamed "good night irene". She's a one hit pillow across your face, and as tasty as it was a year ago. In my humble opinion, the cure is everything, once you're on to solid genetics and aren't creating problems in your own garden anymore, you've got to get the cure down. A good cure can make mediocre weed better, and if done incorrectly, too quickly, high temperature drying, can turn your great weed into shit. I'm an outdoor farmer and for me, timing is everything regarding temperature. Optimally, they'll hang until the branch will snap, not almost snap, but breaks. I'll pull any leaves left and put those buds still on the branches into totes. I've opened totes a year after putting them away in a dark climate controlled closet, and they're as good as the day I put them in. It was mainly out of necessity I had to learn to do this. I hand trim EVERYTHING, I've had 5 thousand dollar trim machines, been there done that, nothing looks better in the jar than hand trimmed flowers...and I'm usually only into it for a pound before I begin to hate trimming weed again. So when I'm looking at more than a few lbs to trim, I had to find a way to preserve it. Leaving the flowers on the branches, in the totes has been my method for a few years now. I've got a shed full of jars I haven't used in about 7 years if anyone wants them lol. Probably 30 cases, sell 'em all for 100 bucks lol,
