Does curing improve potency or flavor?

[beard o]

Talking to an old grower I know, an old mentor of mine. He told me curing does little to improve potency. Potency is a byproduct of good genetics, mature trichomes, and good drying.
Curing is only for improving flavor and smokeability.
Thoughts?

Your mentor is correct! Potency won’t change much, other than normal degradation, it definitely helps the flavor and smokeability.

Hey beard-o, I've wondered the same thing for a while.... After multiple harvest, what I see is it just helps with flavor and smoke-ability.....if anything I would think the THC content drops a bit due to the length of cure time and the degrading of the trichomes turning into cbn over time.

I'm interested to see what the more knowledgeable have to say.

You're friend is correct. You can't create something that's not already there from the first place.

Cheers!
