i was just woundering what everyone thinks is the least amount of time to cure before u would smoke it?

I would go minimum 2 weeks, maybe 3.

Yea if you can wait at least 3 weeks then your gonna have some mighty tasty smoke. However id say 2 weeks should be the minimum, if you can wait that long.

I would let them cure for at least a month. The wait makes the buds much much better.

I'd say a month is best, although three weeks is better than two. Each of my grows so far I started smoking way too early on in the cure stage, and by the time the 1 month marker is rolling around and the bud is tasting fucking sweet sweet sweet, I've smoked the majority of it. The longer you wait the better. Hell, if I could I'd wait 2 months.

hey CT- if you have trouble waiting a few weeks, you really wont like this!! I try to wait at least 6-8 weeks AFTER drying to break into it. its tough the first go around, but then your harvesting your next crop about the same time you start smokin it<if you are doing perpetual harvest> I know its tough, but i tell ya, its worth it!!!!

i think it depends on how good of a flush...correct flush and harvest time, i find makes for a MUCH Quicker cure time....2 months is great for all bud. if you can wait. changing my technique on FLUSH and HARVEST TIME, has been my single BIGGEST improvement on my finished product, since comming to IC. THANKS AGAIN TO CC< for shedding light. THANKS CRAZY!!!

IF you FLUSH FLUSH FLUSH...harvest at right time, 2 weeks has been my minimum, for a really clean, smooth, taisty nuggs that BURN RIGHT, good flush and cut time, brought it down to 2 weeks for me. it does continue to get better....but ive always, prior to this method, had to wait at least a month for the harshness to go and the taist to come back...by then the majority of it was gone, and a shame to smoke b4 her time....
i use to live off unfinished, not fully cured weed.
seemed everytime the nuggs were really ready, they were almost gone.
so a prepetual uncured smoke is what i ended up w/ after all that time and effort.//..suX. Cut the cure in half and have cleaner buds w/ right FLUSH chop and cure. GROW MORE WEED! to fill in the gaps helps too.hehehe
