RE: first taste of the Pink Kush...
Thanks! Curing seems to be a little bit if an art, and a science. From what I've experienced and what I've read, it seems to involve a balance between drying as slowly as possible in order to allow bacteria and moisture to break down certain sugars and chlorophyll, but not so slowly that you get mold. Hanging and then jarring seem to be a great way to cure and store buds.
I've also done "fast cure" methods in the past when on a larger scale (and using ferts). Such as trimming wet, then spreading buds on a screen with fans. Once they got half dried they went into plastic bags in a warm dark place, to sweat, and then back onto the screens. Did the whole damn crop that way in 3-4 days. I was just following directions back then.. long time ago. Maybe I'll talk about that someday at length.
