Default curing, same process as fruit curing?

i was reading up on curing in brown bags and seein why it made fruit ripen. found out that it emits ethylene during the ripening process. the result is kind of a cataytic activity where the ethyene stimuates chorophyll and starch break down. when in a brown bag, it gets trapped and speeds up this process.

was wondering how this effects weed? anyone know if it emits this same ethylene? or if you but a banana or something in a brown grocery bag with your nugs would it help cure/ripen your grow?

dry your plants in a cool dry 60 degrees, dark area for 2 weeks. then put in jars maybe burp for a couple of days for a hour o r so then seal for 2 months don't let any air in. air will degrade your weed . weed is like everything else air will speed degeradation. in 2 months you'll have sweet smelling ganja.

doesn't the paper bag work somewhat like silica gel? there is a name for it, but i can't think of it....something that removes moisture....but anyways, i wouldn't use a paper bag because that could turn your chronic nugz into mid grade really quick. I would say drying and curing are very essential to good weed and i wouldn't attempt to cut corners if you want the best smoke you can have. if you just want to smoke it asap then by all means, but i would at least cure some, you wont regret taking your time and exercising patience in these processes
