Long time lurker on TF, first time poster.
On my way back through Spain I had to take the opportunity for a detour to visit Spannabis given the timing (which I think was only a week or two after MY Seattle)! Man, what a trip- the mix of stall-holders & the general vibe was cool but bordered on bizarre. Let's just say the EU market is alive & kicking.
I managed to get a hold of a Cure sample & flyer at Spannabis through one of the actual Floraltec guys (Australians) who was at the convention. Based on the reasonably lengthy conversation we had, then given it's using 100% plant derived cellobiose, is completely PGR free & non-toxic (hahaha, & yes they too both taste tested it in front of me!), then it stands to reason that it will have some pretty positive preserving qualities to the bud structure while protecting the oils & trichomes from oxidation/degradation, particularly with OGs & varieties with a fluffy flower structure. The Floraltec guys were both certainly promoting the product's natural preserving qualities over & above that of the obvious weight-gains etc. Sadly I don't know that that's the principle sentiment which will be the motivation for commercial growers to use it- not where weight=$$$ is the motivator. No doubt there will be some unscrupulous scummy commercial growers who will use it as a way of purely bulking out their product, particularly in the dank market if it's even half as good as it sounds, rather than in moderation as a natural plant preservative. At face value the science & application sounds legit so I'll be interested to see how how it goes. Time to test & have a play.
From what was described then Cure is very much designed to be used as a post-harvest/pre-curing drench treatment.
