curing question

The little buds i harvested early have been curing. Almost a week now.

My wife told me about her friend that used to put his buds in bags and wear them in his shoes to produce a more dense bud and help with the whole aroma by packing the buds up. Not sure. Does this make sense? Should i take my tiny nugs and little trim and press it togther for a few days and cure? Been trying this.......i think it makes the nugs look nice! and then are super dense. you gotta pick it off to get the actual bud and its nice and sticky.

no

but sure it releases aroma by rupturing trichs, the waxy shell holding terps and volatile esters.. it will smell stronger
but is that really what you want?
i prefer flavor. release all that "aroma" when i put a lighter to it and inhale

dense buds like that remind me of commercial harvests when in cure and packing pack the buds down.. not what i desire
but what do i know, i grow landrace sativa that are naturally airy

I accidentally stepped on some of my Sour Diesel buds the other day, not the first time for me while trimming Bruises the fruit and collapses the calyxs.

New meaning to the word "stanky"

another good point i forgot to mention.
kudos


what actually happens to the bud itself. that bruising like with other plants releases chemicals not conducive to your cure.. as well as the terps and other oils breaking down the pplant
think brick weed that turns brown and quickly has no flavor

only thing thats pissing me off is it smells like sweet tea? northern lights......why the hell would it smell like that? I hope im not fucking up the drying process. Idk ill get picks up later

in the mason jar it does. I take it out and break into it and then it smells like dank berries. Idk maybe cuz these are premmies. My buds are going to be at their full harvest day in 9 days! been flushing for almost a week.

thats good

Might tomorrow! little nervous lol

ya dude sounds like a rad idea, haven't u heard that's called feet weed

Bud during the curing process can have different smells as it cures. As long as it doesn't smell like hay and you didn't dry it too much you are continuing to cure.
