Hello all,
Ive done a lot of searching on this and other sites for references on cure time for certain strains. Not a lot out there. I've got some MH, SSH, and some Durban Poison (DP) jarred up with boveda 62's. It's really very interesting to witness the aromas changing over time.
MH has moved from unripe mango at chop, to citrus lemony/strong fuelly at 1mo, and now more earthy/rotten fruit at ~ 2 months post-chop.
SSH had strong skunk influence in aroma but has slowly developed flowery notes in addition to the skunk funk after 2mo.
DP has hit pure floral spectrum after about 2mo.
I have heard ~2mo is optimal for SSH (only a couple references I could find). MH has more references online and folks suggest 3mo min, 6mo sublime.
I realize it is all very subjective, but what are you folks basing "optimal cure times" on? What am I looking for? What for me tastes best, smells best, hits best, etc? Seems sativas/hazes get better with longer cures, while indica-leaning needs less time. These hybrids have a range of phenos leaning this way or that, so one can see best cure time will also vary depending on the pheno.
Thanks!
