should you let a branch hang to dry before its smokeable.....now ive heard that you need to let it hang for at least a week...but i had one thats been hang drying for two days now and i just sampled the buds....they smoke fine, burn rather nicely (some of the best smoke ive ever had by the way) would it make a difference in the potency if i let them hang for a full week or would they just dry up even more and lose potency??? im lost here
Hey, look for Jason King's guide to curing bud, it is the best ever at explaining the process. I think you can find it online, through the Cannabible site. Yes, the bud gets more potent for at least a week after harvest, the trichomes are still developing. The slower you dry to cure, the more developed the CBC's and CBD's get as well. I hang for about a week, trim the bud, and cure it in a glass jar for a month, at least. It's like fine wine, you can't rush it. If you think it's great after a few days, try some after a month of curing and it will take your head off!
