Curing vs Potency is probably a myth.
Growing a pre-selected mother allways helps aswell if you can get ahold of one. As you know the bud should be good, and if it isn't, you know you are doing something wrong, and can change things around and see what works. Alot of the time, i rekon people are just growing out phenos of strains that aren't that good, or not to their tastes. When you know you have something good, it's alot easier to concentrate on the growing aspect and perfecting that, rather than worrying about genetics and finding a keeper at the sametime.
I think just keeping at it solves the problem in the end though. Once you've got the experience, it all just falls into place.
Real simple if drying indoors. Let hang dry for about 4-5 days with a small fan in a dark place like a closet or something.
Once buds dry are to the touch. Remove them and place in brown paper bags for about 3-4 days. During this step you will notice the buds start to "sweat a little" also they will start to compact and develop more of an aroma.
After they have dried to your preference. You can either zip lock them or cure them in jars. Your choice. 2-3 Curing would bring out the taste a bunch. The longer the better though.
Yes and no. Curing will not make the bud any more potent as potency is developed will the plant is alive and growing. Once chopped the potency cannot increase because the plant is not producing anything.
But curing will enhance the flavor and effect of the herb. Curing is essentially controlled decay. Once chopped down the plant is now decaying, and by putting the buds into containers we slow down the decay process, but it is never ceased. As the buds go through this controlled decay things like chlorophyll are also decaying which allow the terpenes that give our buds their flavor and aroma, to come through. Even the resin glands are decaying, so the cannabinoid profile changes slightly throughout the curing process. THC breaks down into CBD, which is the chemical responsible for a more narcotic long lasting effect, making the bud seem more potent.
This is why properly cured marijuana is significantly better than uncured marijuana. When cured the herb is simply at its optimal state for use.
