To answer some of the questions posted.
I noticed that the smell of the buds increased during the first month of curing and then the smell slowly decreased but still very potent, yes I was smoking the bud during the curing process as well. I would say that the high was the same as the beginning but the taste increased. I managed to keep some of the bud for 8 months and it was an amazing reminder.
I had originally 8 plants growing in there but 6 turned out to be females.
Please PM me if you have any other questions as I dont check this thread very often any more. Thank you all for your support!
