legit way to add weight/smell while curing?

Curing brings out the natural smell of your crop. And curing will cause you to lose even more water weight. That is just the may it goes.

No, you get what you get. As a matter of fact as you cure you will lose a little more weight even. Curing just slows down the last bit of drying to bring out flavor, smell and potency. There is no magic fix for low yields. However, controlling the environment better, using bigger/better lights and quality nutrients will increase your yield. I use Gravity in my grows and it does help add some final weight. Good luck! :-)

Cant really add weight but If I think I have a batch in a jar that is a little too crisp, I will open the jar a lightly spray the top of the buds with water. then I close it up and let it sit for 24 hours, and the moisture will distribute evenly throughout the jar. Gotta be careful though, your just asking for mold problems with this one.

The only sure way is to grow bigger better smelling buds, What you get is what you get. I still after 5 crops can not get my home grown bagseed to be even close to some regular old commercial weed, in smell or potency categories. Just keep trying till its good. Ive harvested late, early, way late, way early, and what I thought was right on time, and the weed is never very good. It tastes great smells Ok but the buzz is just so so. I get Higher off of some regular old commercial stuff that I do off my Home grown. What could be wrong??

OK I HAVE DONE THIS THOUSANDS OF TIMES.


It makes my pot TASTE BETTER because a lil moisture will revive dusty dry bud(i know you know what Im talking about, concerning DUSTY DRY POT)

anyways, I have a piece of terracotta.
it is about the size of a silver dollar and a quarter inch thick.

it ended up being used in 6 jars so I broke it into six pieces.



OK. So get some mason jars. put the terracotta into a cup with water over the top of the piece. Let sit for an hour. completely dry the outside. THIS IS KEY.


deposit in the center of the jar and fill with dry pot. let sit an hour or two and your pot will be nice and DANK!!!!!!!

makes the smoke last longer because moister bud tends to burn slower, as well as brings out some fucking killer smells on relatively "smell-less" dry crackley pot

I purposely allow my bud to dry out slightly more than necessary when curing, then drop a very thin slice of orange into the jar & check after a couple days. The buds will pull the moisture out of the fruit along with some taste. Typically it makes the bud too moist & you have to dry just a bit more, but the citrus flavor in addition to the natural widow character tastes damn good.
