I don't know if I can wait for at least a month lol. The cure is super critical!

Lol... if by soon enough you mean in 3 months then yeah! I can taste that beautiful bud already. .
I cure 1 to 3 months usually. The first week is spent burping once a day, then once a week for 3 weeks, and finally once a month for the last 2 months. (The smell is already amazing) I also recently starting using humidipaks to make curing idiot proof! Again, this is how I was taught and it seems to work.
What do you do?

You are correct, the cure is critical to enjoying the best of what you have cultivated. If you can wait, then wait. Smoke it now and you'll have a sense of what you dealing with but not at it's best. None of my samples made it past a few day cure before literally being inhaled. Now that I have some cured buds, what a difference. Smoother smoke, better flavor from first spark till the end and a stone that just won't quit. For the most part for me to believe it, I must live it and the cure has been proven to me to be most critical just like you said. Smoke some now then compare it to cured smoke at a later time. In either case, yum, that sample looks good.

I tried uncured... yuck

After a week of curing I will try one bowl, then one a week till it's all gone. For science of course ..

 

[tryan2grow1]

For science of course

Of course, wouldn't have it any other way. Besides most of us cultivators are secretly mad scientists anyway.....lol

 

[Suntana]

Not saying don't cure it, if you want to wait 3 months to sample it you have more will power than me lol.

I'm going to torture myself on the drying and curing, I'm sure. I set aside only a tiny sample of popcorn and 2 little 'hash balls'. I'm going to cure both until I can open the bottle and not smell the grass smell.

My approach from end to end is this - chop, bag into paper bags for 2 weeks of low and slow in the fridge, transfer into bottles for 1 month minimum of curing (although I'll just leave it bottled up with a Boveda until I consume so it'll continue to cure). But keep in mind I've never actually done this before!

I've never done low and slow either lol. I know the traditional cure has always served me well. The hardest part is the waiting!

Oh and in case anyone is wondering there will be no more updates of the outdoor girl on this journal.

Day 125

Day 66 of flower. Diesels 2 and 4 each got 4 liters of plain water today. Its getting exciting being so close to the end of this journey! The girls are still packing on the weight, I will have to tie more of them up as these last few weeks they will really fatten up. That's the theory anyway lol. If I harvested today I would be pretty happy! At nights it's really getting chilly, so I'm hoping it brings out the purple in the flowers.

The ladies

[Canada Guy]

I might yet hit 10 ounces dry... let's hope they start to fatten up soon lol.

 

[tryan2grow1]

A wonderful 10oz of beautiful indoor bud to go along with the lbs you are gonna have from that monster outstide. I'd say you are set for a bit.
