Cured And uncured whats the potency differance ? Thanks

Starramus, terpenes do transform throughout curing, which is why 3-months cured bud smells different from 3 weeks.

frank420 There are some disagreements about what curing does to cannabis, but everyone agrees that it makes for a smoother smoke or vape. Give your curing cannabis another month and then try again. If you are really curing it properly--in the correct RH range, with proper burping, in a cool, dark place--, you will see its colors change and smell its aromas transform.

It is akin to ageing wine or curing tobacco: the buds aren't "dead" by any means, they are still ripening.

Of course they smell fruitier, but that is not what we are talking about. We is talkin about how high youze gets!

Yes in essence weight will be lost as water and CO2 during curing

isomerization is merely the rearrangement of atoms in the terpene molecules. that is what is causing the change in fragrance. Some of the most kick ass weed i have smoked had little or no fragrance. This year's White Russian is like that. Our stoner maid will vouch for that.

Well just smoke it like you like it. That's why we grow our own so to each their own. If you like it the moment its dry go for it. I prefer cured for a long time. We are now back to the word "percieved." No way to measure how one feels and that's all that matters.

Part of "percieved" to me is the enjoyment of the aroma of each strain, the taste of the smoke or vapor, the smell after the exhale. These things make me happy and put a huge smile on my face. So part of the "percieved" stone would have to include these things for me. They make me happy so therefore increases the overall enjoyment which would make me perceive a better high.

Thank you

So if my Buds are not potent now they never will be?Dam I can not figure this out .Thank you for your opinion

If your buds were dried incorrectly. Excessive heat or light... yes you could have potentially degraded the THC content. That forever alters potency if that was the case.
