outdoor bud

[jmathews]

Hello this my first post. And also my first grow. I harvested a little and after I dried it I decided to burn a little before i cured it. Its actually pretty smooth and gives you a great body buzz for about 2 hrs. The problem is it has a pine needle after taste.(not that i have eaten pine needles before, but You know what im saying). Its not that bad just different. Is it just the strain or that it wasnt cured? Just new and full of questions. Ill post a few pics later.

Quick drying will kill your flavor.After you cure it the taste will be completely different.Welcome to MP!

Thanx. How long is a good cure? The buds were not big ones actually they where farily small. It was just some i pulled to get me by

Just depends on how big your buds are.If they aren't that big then just hang them up for a few days till they seem fairly dry then put them in a jar.Open it a few times a day.They will eventually completely dry out.When the stems snap it's done.

I would wait more than a few days before jarring.

I dried my last batch a little too long so I skipped the brown-bagging and just sealed it up. I open it up now and then to check on it. Anyway, it smokes very good.

Others have various ideas and preferences, so read all about it and do what you think sounds good. I tend to simplify more than some people, and I have been successful in my short growing career.
