Hi, I'm a few weeks away from my first harvest. I saw a video that said the curing process is primarily to preserve flavor and thc, but you can actually smoke the buds after they're dried well. I plan on curing most of my harvest. But is it okay to smoke some of the dried stuff without curing until the full harvest is ready, since the flavor and thc don't need to be 'preserved' in the stuff if I smoke it immediately? Or was the video wrong? Anybody? Thanks!
You can smoke it as soon as its dry. No prob at all. Curing just can enhance the flavor and smoothness of the smoke. You won't gain thc from it the thc in the plan will be there no matter what the only thing that will effect that is harvesting to early.
