Does curing affect aroma of the SMOKE?

My first grow (Afghan kush, WW, C99) doesnt have a strong smelling smoke and isnt as strong as id of liked..

The smoke smells a bit hashy but not skunky at all like most weed ive bought.

The weed smells like homegrown weed but i guess thats cause its not been cured.

My question is does curing affect the smell of the smoke?? as well as the smell of the untouched bud??

Thanks in advance guys

Is that a hell yeah!!!????

Well yeah you gotta let your bud sweat a little to release the good smells and tastes.

What a cure does
Reduction in Chlorophyll content, doesn't taste like smoking veggies
Reduction in plant starch content,and sugars, creating a smooth smoke
Reduction in nitrate levels,less carcinogenic
the polycyclic aromatization of terpenoids altering the flavor profile
Reduction of and consistent moisture content, even slow burn

Yes sir the longer u cure the better it taste. As long as u dry and burp properly!

Most definitely taste and aroma will change as time passes...but some strains will change color as well
For example I grew out some mendopurp and it was slightly greener when I first picked it, but seemed like it got darker and stronger after i followed Subcool & Mz Jill
method of curing using mason jars...I Swear by it.
Hope this help
