<span class="link_user">@Papa_T</span>, 100% man, I&#039;m experimenting as well and going from previous knowledge i&#039;ve picked up from other growers. So many methods to go about it and the great thing is now we get to learn something new every day as the more studies come out and more people become growers. Great community, always has been even pre legalization. Appreciate you checking this girl out and popping in to chat. Good luck on your grows papa T, I&#039;m sure i&#039;ll have another diary up in a couple months or so !

<span class="link_user">@ApothecAries</span>, yeah I hear ya man. No I was more asking about how long you normally cure for. I know that some crazy craft growers will cure for 4-6 months. I usually try to go for about three months then just leave it in long term storage. Yeah you’re definitely right that it changes over time. I still have a few jars from a 2021 grow. It’s pretty old now but still very smokable and still hits. The appearance isn’t so hot anymore but meh whatever it all looks the same when it’s been through a grinder bahaha. Once it’s dry I usually start picking at it every so often. A few grams here or there isn’t going to make a huge difference when there’s over 120 grams of it. Plus I’m not the guy who’s relying on that plant to be ready because I’m out of smoke. I know some people in that position and they don’t even give it enough time for the cure and they burn right through it because it’s their only source of weed.

<span class="link_user">@ApothecAries</span>, ahhhh shit I must not have seen that reply a month ago. How long do you usually cure for? I’m finding that a three month cure makes it really prime. My Purple Punch wasn’t smelling so great but man after three months it really came around and now it smells absolutely wonderful.

<span class="link_user">@Papa_T</span>, it could take up to 6 months to get a perfect cure. i notice when i store for long time in jars the profiles do change over time and around 6 months might start degrading. I like to cure for atleast 4 weeks before enjoying the smoke. i find the burn is good and the taste is potent and clean. It really all depends what you did during the hanging phase i assume.
