I get rollover with my harvests, lol. So I pulled 2lbs outdoors and 2.4 indoor summer 2014. This summer I pulled ~2.6 outdoor and ~2 indoor so far(trimmed 5 oz yesterday). I'm all personals so it tends to last a while.

I like this because with my conversation with quizoking he disagrees on age yet you're smoking it as such with highs you still like. It's all about personal insight on it. In fact while science of this is probably going to show that it has degraded the thc, there is no substitute for consumption that is to say if it's changing on a level that you can see, it's not always changing for all senses

Actually I vacuum seal my mason jars after about 6 months and then the smoke barely changes taste or smell at all. Gets a little dryer every time I open them up, but my buddy who slangs club bs gets nugs every few days that are more dried out than mine 2 years later, and taste dispensary nugs always seem to be harsh crap. Bag appeal is pretty much all some of the dispensaries have going for them these days, and even then most still fall short.

See this is different, some folks open and close those jars all the time and the whole jar just gets drier
And drier. Fortunately on my end the air doesn't get much lower than 60 rh and that's about as much as it gets around here in the summer too. Winter is steady to 80 percent so curing takes almost twice as long. But the longer and slower the cure the longer it stays green. The best part is making sure it stays in that rh when the air is virtually the same.

I still have some og kush from 2012 and it gets better every year now i have about 1/2 oz just pinching it.

Got some 6 month old GSC still jarred up, but for consumption I think 1 month of curing is a pretty decent place to aim for

After a year in mason jars it starts to turn slowly to a brown colour and the THC starts turning to CBN.

The Active Ingredients Of Cannabis

Cannabis products include marijuana, hashish, and hashish oil.
THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol) gets a user high, a larger THC content will produce a stronger high. Without THC you don't get high.
CBD (Cannabidiol) increases some of the effects of THC and decreases other effects of THC. High levels of THC and low levels of CBD contribute to a strong, clear headed, more energetic high.
Cannabis that has a high level of both THC and CBD will produce a strong head-stone that feels almost dreamlike. Cannabis that has low levels of THC and high levels of CBD produces more of a stoned feeling. The mind feels dull and the body feels tired.
CBN (Cannabinol) is produced as THC ages and breaks down, this process is known as oxidization. High levels of CBN tend to make the user feel messed up rather than high.
CBN levels can be kept to a minimum by storing cannabis products in a dark, cool, airtight environment. Marijuana should be dry prior to storage, and may have to be dried again after being stored somewhere that is humid.
THCV (Tetrahydrocannabivarin) is found primarily in strains of African and Asian cannabis. THCV increases the speed and intensity of THC effects, but also causes the high to end sooner. Weed that smells strong (prior to smoking) might indicate a high level of THCV.
CBC (Cannabichromene) is probably not psychoactive in pure form but is thought to interact with THC to enhance the high.
CBL (Cannabicyclol) is a degradative product like CBN. Light converts CBC to CBL.
If you are a grower, you can experiment with different strains of cannabis to produce the various qualities you seek. A medical user looking for something with sleep inducing properties might want to produce a crop that has high levels of CBD.
Another user looking for a more energetic high will want to grow a strain that has high levels of THC and low levels of CBD. In general, Cannabis sativa has lower levels of CBD and higher levels of THC. Cannabis indica has higher amounts of CBD and lower amounts of THC than sativa. See marijuana strains.

This is something I have always wondered about so I've been keeping a few grams from every strain harvested since last April. I harvested in April, October and January of this year, some strains have run twice some three times. Going to be interesting to see how the same strain tastes, smokes with different cure times.
