Why aren't you guys doing the freezer cure??? best taste and simplest system ever! OHH and it's FREE (freezer/paperbag), obviously NOT for large yields, but for personal it's unbeatable. look up sublimation ...........hint:0
Good question, why am I not freezing my bud? I researched curing for over six months trying to find the best way to preserve bud and enhance the flavors. Most growers won't have the bud for more than a month or two before it's all gone and the next harvest is ready. My stock lasts for years and needed to be the best dry / cure process available.
Here is a secret, bud matures and becomes better with age, talking about six-month bud that's properly dried, cured, and stored. I'm not talking about the plastic baggie of brown dried out swag. That started as crap and always will be.
I sampled both methods, freezing and jar cure, on the same harvested buds. Freezer: It's harsh and flavors are dulled by half. But, I guess if you get high fast enough who cares, right? I just can't throw this baby into the deep freeze. no way!
Freezing bud has been discussed a lot on the Internet and written back in 2010 by Ed Rosenthal. I'm just not sold on this technique. Ever eat meat or vegetables that have been frozen compared to fresh? How about stuff that's been in the freezer too long, you know, that old popsicle from way in the back, taste good? Freezing works. It's just not what I'm looking for in my end results.
And I guess, if you are going to spend money, I would invest in the most important part of the grow process, drying and curing. I spare my flowers and only use sublimation for the leaves and the fluff, aka: dry ice hash.
