Hey, excuse me for jumping in, but I thought I would share my method of curing.
After drying for a few days, a huge amount of the buds moisture is gone. That kicks off the cure. Now you need to slow it down as much as possible. Basically, the slower the cure, the better the flavor.
I use gallon baggies about half full of loose bud. That way the air can get around the bud without handling the bud. I put these CLOSED into a cardboard box with a lid. This just keeps the bud in the dark all the time. That's one big part of the cure. You don't want light hitting your weed at all.
When the bags are open, the natural dehydrating properties of the cardboard box will absorb the moisture of the weed when you have the baggies open in the dark box each time. That is another advantage of this method. It slows the cure down even more by keeping it in the closed box during the opening of the baggies.
For the first two weeks, I open all the baggies for an hour twice a day and kind of flap the sides of the baggie to move the air in and out. Be gentle.
Then for the next two weeks, I open the baggies once a day for an hour.
Then it's once a month for ever. After 4 months of this cure, the buds are nice and tight, the flavor is as mello as it's going to get and the plant matter has virtually no moisture left in it. This is all done in an air conditioned room.
After the 4 months has passed, the bud will light and burn very evenly and well. It stays lit well, but won't burn up fast. It rolls very good and grinds up perfectly for joints and one hitters. The slow dry will also help keep the seeds viable if you intend to grow with them in a later crop.
It's worth the wait. Of course, I always hit the bud for some samples during the cure. I gotta see where it's at!
Good luck to you man.
