What Cured Weed Looks Like

MICHI-CAN said:

Only legal here for two years. Limited seeds and strains forever. As well as space and short unpredictable summers. Try to pull two full indoors every year and 1 out. 4x4 only. Time is always short. And I work too hard to keep my indoors almost sterile. Any funny stuff and I'll chop.

I see. Well good job with what you have to work with then. Now here's the thing about curing, it takes forever at low humidity and room temperature. The conditions for quick removal of chlorophyll and starch are 95-105 F and 75-95% RH. Obviously nobody recommends that in any Cannabis curing tutorial, so that's why all dispensary weed is green and harsh, and most personally grown weed because they all do the exact same thing, which is really a process called "aging", not curing.

I don't recommend that anyone in North America or Europe ever cure weed or smoke cured weed, it may be harmful or fatal to noobs, hahaha. Noobs can only handle fluorescent green weed. This is not completely fried yet but the curing part is done, took about 48 hours from harvest. Should be done in about another day. You guys have fun waiting around for weeks though.

Close-up please.

Imagine going through all the trouble of growing, trimming, washing and curing just to set the weed on fire. Yum, tastes faintly of terpenes and toxins.

Yeah, better vape it.

Seems to be pretty much dried now. Didn't change a whole lot, shrank considerably and got less white. Smells dank, not like freshly chopped, that would suck. This is full premium right here. To bad Psyphish can't get anything this primo, stuck with uncured noobweed. Would anybody smoke uncured tobacco? Yeah, if they were insane or just didn't give a crap about quality I suppose, otherwise probably not. I wonder if anyone here ever heard of Panama Red or Colombian Gold. Pretty sure they weren't green, so Horsefat would never smoke it. Well, this is Canadian Gold right here.

I dunno what you are on about. I just asked for a close up.

Oh sorry, that was the quote you used in your post. If you're not a cured weed mocker like that guy Psyphish then my apologies. Glad I didn't say anything worse about you there, would have been a friendly fire incident. But CAN you get anything that primo? I think not, therefore I wasn't really off the mark that much, right?

Honestly I just came for the comments, lol.

I should have hit Psyphish with a Cletus pic but I guess it's not worth it. That was pretty insolent though so I have one in the chamber if he really wants it.

I edited it so it says Psyphish instead of you. But no that's probably as close as I can get with that camera. Not much to see closer anyway. Just looks like buds that were in a pile, so they're kind of rounded off and compacted. You only see crystals sticking out when you baby your buds, which I don't find worthwhile. It's the same buds just the way I do it they're a lot less bulky. To cure weed properly it's best to pile them, like they do in Colombia, just not in the sun like they do but on a heating pad with parchment over it.

Are you doing this under these conditions? How? Hard to keep rh at those levels with thst heat I'd imagine

I've always thought bud that got overdried was junk. But I've left some out by accident and it still retained its stank and the bowl hits were huge= massive stone.

fuckin molded , and oven dried trash! what the fuck are you trying to preach over here ? look at your rubbish brown weed! tobacco is the subject you should stick to. weed aint your thang. So yours is "primo" in 48 hours ?! what the fuck are you on ? have you read any of the links you posted? If you can dry weed in 2 days then you keep that shit to yourself. let alone CURE IT ??
it only takes you 30 weeks to finish because your using cheap ass blurple fuckin lights. There is a tiny bit of truth to your 16 week weed but you would never be able to grasp it so stay out of it.
you said michagans shit was mostly leaf ?!
ANY weed done in 2 days is trash, period.

I get what I grow. I usually dry trimmed buds in cardboard boxes. Then transfer to jars for cure and storage. I just opened a new jar. The dry wasn't great, but it's been in the jar for two months. I'm kinda color blind though.



(Edit: yeah, i have cats...)

Was kind of watching for this pic.

Pretty sure I had some weed cured like that in Central America - very "funky" but tasty - different.
Almost no aroma until broken by hand - no grinders. Kind of chunky, but not powdered in the bowl.
We only bought it because our host said it was good - it didn't look "good". Glad we did.

What would you consider a minimum amount that could be cured this way?
My curiosity might last another 90ish days to try some.

So this is the only way to get rid of chlorophyll?

As @MICHI-CAN showed, properly cured cannabis does in fact stay green...

6 month cured Skywalker OG


Looking good as always @MICHI-CAN

You okay there buddy?

Curiosity is still piqued. Maybe it's because I just opened a new jar from a different pheno of my last harvest - very heady lol.

Anyway, is this cure related at all to brick weed?
Growing up in SoCal, I'm one of those who has fond memories of the better brick weed I got - very stony couchlock, the best didn't look that great - hard brown nuggets that break into chunks, the taste was a melange of spices & weed funk - not NorCal Skunk funk, but still a funk.
Really an appearance, taste and stone of it's own, if it's what I'm thinking of.

edit - the flipside was bad brick weed - stinky, lumber (not stems), huge black seeds & ammonia - probably toxic.
