Curing Cannabis
How to properly cure cannabis
Curing cannabis is an important step in the process of preserving the quality of your buds. During curing, the moisture continues to draw from the center of the bud toward the outside, and the terpenes, which give cannabis its unique smell and flavor, have time to fully mature. This results in buds that are smoother to smoke, have a more complex flavor profile, and are more potent.
The curing process typically takes two weeks to a month, but some strains may benefit from curing for longer. To cure your buds, you will need to store them in an airtight container in a cool, dark place. You should also burp the container every few days to release any excess moisture.
Here are some tips for curing cannabis:
- Use an airtight container. This will help to prevent the buds from losing moisture and from being exposed to light and air, which can degrade the terpenes.
- Store the container in a cool, dark place. The ideal temperature for curing cannabis is between 60 and 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Burp the container every few days. This will help to release any excess moisture and replenish the oxygen in the container.
- Be patient. Curing takes time, so don’t rush it. The longer you cure your buds, the better they will taste and smoke.
