Freshly harvested cannabis buds contain a significant amount of moisture. By placing individual buds on a drying rack or hanging entire branches in a drying room – you’ll reduce the water content of your buds by 10–15%. This process removes water from the outer layers of each flower, but you’ll need to cure your stash to rid moisture from deeper within the buds.
Curing is super important because it helps preserve your weed so it can be stored over time – while still retaining its unique flavour and maximising potency. When you harvest your buds, they contain excess sugars and starches that eventually come under attack from airborne bacteria and enzymes. By curing your buds, you actually encourage the degradation of these nutrients, making for a smoother, better-tasting final smoke.
