Well, yeah, you can avoid it but you would have just wasted all your time growing it.

A lot of weed is dried and then sold with no cure. If you have time always cure your weed! Its what brings out the best in terms of flavors and aromas. Weed changes a lot as it cures!

^^^ What he said. Why the heck would you want to avoid curing? It's like saying you want to avoid smoking good weed.

Blaze, if I head out your way with Dave next week I'm going to remember to bring some samples of the Kush Cleaner. I didn't bring any to the event in November because, frankly, it smelled like chemical shit. Now, after a couple months cure? Smells beautiful, lemony, but like lemon essence, not lemon juice, incredibly smooth smoke and a "hell yeah!" high.

It is amazing what a good cure can do with weed.

Hey man- you can grow orange trees and when the oranges are the size of a golf ball, hard and green you can still eat them. Plenty of vitamin C. But why not do it correctly and enjoy yourself- right?

It's hard to see what information you are looking for when you ask that question. Are you asking if curing is really worth it? If so, definitely.

Take care.

you can do a speed cure at 75 degrees Fahrenheit all dark with air movement to avoid bud rot. About 3 days or until stem snaps clean

If the plants were properly depleted of nutrients, then puffing can begin as soon as the herbs are dry enough. For many folks that don't adequately deplete there is a time frame necessary for break down of chlorophyll etc. Fresher herbs properly depleted contain more terps than cured weed. It is the terps in weed that makes it fun. Good luck and have fun. Peace GS

I recently finished a purple walker and split the harvest with my friend (also med user) . i didnt cure mine more than 3 days and it tasted so good . It was og flavor first then ended on a grandaddy purple note. Needless to say it tasted so good it didnt last very long . But my friend cured hers for 3 weeks and the stuff taste totally different , like a musky urkle flavor from begining to end. She was sad because it didnt taste like og anymore :( so i can understand why someone might not want to cure thier bud but the only solution is to smoke when dry but before stored for longer than a few days. or get a time travel machine.

Its been said before on this post, PLEASE cure :)

p.s

Atleast a week, 2 weeks is the happy medium.

This has always been one of my irks... cure vs dry storing...

curing has always meant the part of the dry process where chlorophyll & starches break down... lessening any harshness or 'greenness' that might get locked in during a quick dry. this only really happens for the first several days after one chops, but after a certain amount of dehydration, this metabolizing no longer occurs on the cellular level. basically, the 'cure' is the first 4-5 days where one tries to draw out the drying process & give the plant a little more time to work off it's green.

and if done in a well controlled environment... that's just about 14 days before it can go into a jar, crisp to the snap. beyond this, it is just dry storage.

and it starts with a good flush prior to the chop.


honestly, some weed tastes much better freshly dried for 14 days, whereas it loses something 2 months later under proper dry storage... talking 8-9% moisture content... so this isn't wet weed.

I personally really prefer both the flavor and the feel of buds that have been stored with RH at or around 65%. Seems to be a golden number for that, not too wet and not too dry (because I've had overdry weed that smokes really, really harshly).
