Faster way to cure!!! Easy cheap and almost free

The method uses a the same theory as re moisting your Dry buds with a orange peel or bread to tranfser water weight. Well my method uses the reverse instead when you are curing youre buds you taker a sheet of plastic and poke lots of tiny holes on it than place it on top of your opened curing jar and then on top of the plastic With holes you place bathroom tissue paper on it than you cap it the jar with the lid! What that does is transfer water from your buds into the paper and every other day you can dispose the paper and put a new one. You can shorten your curing time with little or no cost of lowering potency. Thier you go!! And happy growing.

sound plausable, will definately give it ago

nice. i like your thinking. i think to make it even better, use a piece of window screen or something comparable made out of metal. i know a lot of people don't like to expose their buds to any plastic whenever possible.

While applying this method dont forget to burp your jars still, this method is only intended to speed up the proccess

True that would improve it however it wouldent be almost free diy

I always find it odd that people search for ways to speed up the drying, and in this case, the curing process when the whole idea is to draw it out for as long as possible for maximum potency. Much of a plant's THC is non-psychoactive when the plant finishes and to convert it to a psychoactive form takes a slow drying and a slow curing process. Speed is the enemy in drying and curing so why would someone want to speed up either or both processes?

Since curing is the final stage of the drying process where during a long slow drying stage THC becomes fully psychoactive why in the wide, wide world of sports would anyone ever try to find ways to speed it up? That would be counterproductive. Someone can easily speed up the final drying stage, called curing, but the transformation of non-psychoactive THC into fully psychoactive THC takes time and is not sped up by speeding up any stage of drying or curing process.

i totally agree with you but to alot of peeps 2 months is like a whole nother grow lol but its a trade off and i believe this is the best method of speed and it probably only lowers potency a tad bit but if it can knock off a week or 2 out of the 2 months its a good trade.

I know the additional time to properly dry and then properly cure can be difficult for some people to put up with but doing things to speed up either or both never makes any sense too me. For one, the person just waited a rather long period of time to harvest. They spent that rather long period of time attempting to squeeze every last bit of potency out of the genetics they grew. They spent money and put in a lot of time and effort so their crop would be the very best it possibly could be. Why after all that would anyone become so impatient that they would intentionally do something that is counterproductive to everything else they had done up until that point in time?

I fully understand the feeling. I have felt it myself more than just once, but it only makes sense to bite the bullet and wait so the final results of their efforts will be the very best it can possibly be.

If someone is a commercial grower and needs to get their product on the street I can half see where they could decide what will be lost is not as valuable too them as possible lost business, but for anyone else it just does not make any sense to intentionally take a route that will cost them some degree of quality.

Doing so would be like their efforts to squeeze every last bit of potency out of the genetics they grew was largely so they could then later throw some amount of potency and flavor and smoothness away because they want to use a faster drying and or curing method and have something to smoke that is still pretty good even though it is not the best it could possibly be.

If someone is growing for themselves and they have run out of herb there is nothing at all wrong with taking a small percentage of their crop and drying it quicker and curing it quicker, or skipping the curing process all together. But they should dry and cure the bulk of their crop properly. The small percentage of their crop that would not taste as good and not be as potent should get them through until the rest of the crop has a chance to be properly dried and properly cured, unless of course they only grow a very small amount and a small percentage of that would only last them a short period of time. If the latter is the case then they need to do what they need to do, but they should know that they will not experience the best that their crop would otherwise give them.

Yea, brick top pretty much nailed my whole argument. The process of curing is completely null and defeated when you try to speed it up.

2 months

Good god man! Where you live, Antarctica?

I have never waited 2 months to cure cure bud!

Strange how folks feel about things. Everyone does things different, sometimes for a reason.
I'm the other way. 2 mos. is speed curing in this place.
I will admit, it seems to effect some strains more than others. But slow and long never hurt a proper cure.

Speed curing has it's place though. As mentioned, if you're out of bud, I'd rather speed cure a small amount to pull me through as opposed to buying someone elses trash.

Just my opinion, and I'm not absolutely sure, but I think what is presented here as speed curing is more drying. Cure allows the chloraphile to break down and such. I don't see how this does that. Essentially I'm saying I don't think I'd technicly call it a "cure" in the true sense of the meaning.

I think the OP posted on a different thread yesterday that this idea didn't work out . Was complaining about taste . Something about mold .

dont put curing buds in or around plastic, theres chemicals in plastic that attacks THC. use glass jars or metal tins to cure, also you can put your buds in a brown paper bag then in to your curing container, keeps the buds looking nice, crisp and shiny
