Curing is overrated

People can have whatever opinions they want really... but people have infact studied and tested this subject. If it wasnt true then studies would show the evidence.
It is what is is tho...if someone wants to quick dry their weed and bag it up as fast as they can to make a dollar... then all I can say is I feel bad for the people smoking it

Yeah there Science and there also the fact that people have been curing cannabis for 1000's of years.... I trust either source

Exactly
Also I would like to point out that drying and curing is two different things. I like to think of it likr making wine.... sure you can drink it right after you make it... but it's the sitting in the barrels that makes it so smooth and delicious.

Naturally, as the metabolic processes continue during curing, the conversion of cannabergerol to tetrahydrocannabinol will continue and the potency of the pot will increase. This is because cannabergerol (CBG) is the non-psychoactive precursor for tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Of course, the exact change in THC content will necessarily be dependant upon the concentration of CBG in the fresh material at harvest. Of course any remaining precursors necessary to form additional cannabidiol (CBD) and other cannabinoids will also be consumed and converted.

Be aware though if curing is excessively prolonged (most connoisseurs would agree after 6 months no more benefit could be had from curing), the conversion of THC to non-psychoactive cannabinol (CBN) will occur. The exact rate of decomposition can vary widely depending on handling and storage conditions, but can be less than 10% to greater than 40% decomposition per year.

But yeah dude... you're right, science is just wrong and stupid.

Once my Purpl Pro comes in it's going to be a solid tool I can use and come back to threads like this with some observable evidence. It's like Covid 19, some people wont believe it until they see it for themselves.

Ive been helping my father with his wine making lately. My favorite part is the semi-ferment. Its basically cloudy grape juice with about 3% alcohol that's pretty fresh. Waaaaaay better than wine in my opinion but im not a wine drinker

I think we all probably didnt know any better in the begginging. I used to dry my weed faster and as soon as I could smoke it I sold it. Then I read and studies and educated myself.
Now it's all about a slow dry... I like to aim for 2 weeks with a dry trim. I also wont get rid of any til it's been sitting for at least month ... WHAT A DIFFERENCE!
everything from smell flavor and high is way better! Growing is all about patience right? Why waist all the time in producing it just to fuck it all up at the most important time
Lol oh well to each their own and I would love to see what you come up with.

You're kinda confused. Wine gets better with age. Some of the most expensive and coveted wine is over a hundred years old. But personally I'm a Budweiser man.

That all looks real sciency but how long does that increase in thc you are talking about take? Science is about numbers not how potheads...sorry I mean "connoisseurs" feel about weed. My guess which is not backed by science is the thc increase you are talking about happens in less than a month before it starts degrading. I would love it if you posted something actually scientific like I said I'm just guessing based on personal experience but I guarantee I'm more experienced than most of the "connoisseurs" you know

Then look it up for yourself... you can do it just as easily as I can.
 
Wine. The last time we made blueberry wine we processed it in a 30 gallon plastic garbage can and stirred it with a wooden boat oar. Once bottled it did look kinda cool though.
Connoisseur stuff, I tell ya :p
