Is it possible that we just proved that letting your bud cure for up to 40 days could lead to better bud?
 
The only way to prove that would be through experimentation and wide 'tester' base. I would gladly be one of your testers ;).
 
:eek: thanks alot lots of info and i guess im in for a min of 4 weeks to have something good and tasty:holysheep:
 
I am smoking AWESOME tasting AND smelling AND potent dope and not many of mine have made it past the 30 day mark. It's all tasted great from the start save maybe one strain, yes, they do better with age though!
 
I still haven't cured the C99 to a storage dryness, its been cureing 30 days, so so sweet, its just awesome strain!! my hygrometers are reading the mid 60s. The tang in my Dutch treat is si aromatic, I'm really loveing that.

I don't find that my bud ever smells like hay when in the jar . . . IMO the 'cut grass' smell is usually caused by poor drying or poor trimming or a combination of both. My freshly dried bud smells of cinammon and spices . . . when it's been cured for a while the other aromas come through.
 
some information for you to use to make an educated decision.
