Your post came off as though you already knew the answers to the question that you just posed.I wrote that post to get some good growers and people with knowledge of growing I needed all you guys I'm looking for a most potent most tastiest strain there is can anyone help me please
I find the optimal cure time is between 2-4 months IN JARS..Dont cure it if you dont want to.
Unless you actually try other ways, how would you even know?
After I cut down, I remove all leaf that isn't covered I crystal. Then I hang it for 8 to 10 days. After the outside is crispy and seemingly dry. I put it in a jar and sweat it.
Opening the jar and moving the buds around twice a day let's the moisture out and keeps the buds from drying out too fast. A jar isn't needed. So.e people use buckets. Some use bags. Some savages just hang it and smoke it.
I've done all of them. And I can tell you (and anyone else who's actually done it will too) that the bud does get better as it cures. It tastes better every day, up till about 2 weeks. Then it doesn't change much.
Chlorophyll can't be reduced by fans placed on a living specimen and no fans going to break it down in the drying stages. It's far more complicated than most know. Either you dry too fast leaving little to no cellular life, or you actually keep the plant alive while it dies slowly hanging in a cool dark place no different than air cured tobacco. Imagine if we tobacco growers followed the protocol of using jars. There would be a severe shortage of jars let me say. I actually prefer to just let it hang in the ideal temps and RH then trying to make it happen in a jar. But I don't have any tolerance for smoke that needs months of aging to become pleasurable. That is low grade in my opinion and I just toss those grassy types into the trim, well I did when I was growing grass instead of really refined modern cannabis.
More like years of aging. Most curing with air is over with after a month, flu curing is really fast and the sugar is trapped inside the leaf rendering a fine smoke in a very short time.Tobacco is cured for months in some cases. Just FYI
Jars arent needed, a ziplock bag will do.
Months arent needed 2 weeks will do.
Ultimately taste is subjective. But I've never in my 30 years of smoking cannabis smoked anythig that was just hang dried and tasted good. Sometimes its smokable, but never what I would call good.

30+ years as well here too and just about as much time growing and processing many types of tobacco.
I like the dying on the vine quote, as my plants will sometimes hang for up to three weeks before the cells have fully died and it is in my opinion the best, many loose flavors and more when jarred long term in comparison. For me its far from placebo, as the dozens that smoke my herb always enjoy the freshest in comparison with anything that has aged and sat around braking down with age.
Most of the tobacco that I smoke has been aged 4+ years, but I don't let cannabis sit in a jar beyond six months. That goes into the trim bin as well, as obviously it was nothing special to sit for six months..
Ive never had bud last 6 months lol.
I'm sure it loses flavor and stuff after that long. I personally smoke a quarter every 2 or 3 days just to myself. If I have any left from a previous crop, I've usually given it away by the time my next crop is ready.
Years? Jesus, I dont smoke tobacco anymore but I'd like to try some of that.
I am the same as far as time goes. 8 to 10 days hanging 10 to 14 in the jar, and it's good to go. I smoke it throughout the curing process though lol. I try to wait till the 2 weeks I the jar is done before I smoke much, but I still "sample" it
I concur!A lot of things in life get better with age
