Were you able to compare the flue cured logs with standard (dried then bottled) cured buds from the same plant and age? It would be interesting to see comparisons of the highs/effects at 1, 2 and 3 months of storage.
I think most people now days are too hung up on taste and smells. I don't smoke ganja because it smells great, I smoke it because the way it zings my brain in a positive way. Looks and smells are a long second when it comes to what is important which is how it makes me feel.
But having said that I do love smelling the various smells from ganja plants in flower and wish some company would bring out an aftershave or perfume that captures the scent from a living flowering cannabis plant as there's nothing more smile inducing than that to me.

Ya know, you can reduce the cannabis volume using dry-ice and a closed bucket. (like dry-ice hash, only you're keeping it all in the bucket) This will significantly reduce the volume you need to fill with alcohol.I am making RSO today. Off topic. But I am putting a half pound of beautiful Skywalker OG into 99.9% Iso and then cooking it off in a rice cooker @ 230F. Poor terpenes I will miss them so.
I will be destroying the quality. But it's for a cancer patient. How could I say no.
My point is you are not the only one "ruining" buds lol!

Then you could use ethanol. No offense, but I won't touch iso due to taste (Yeah, I'm that sensitive) and the fact it's iso. Iso causes damage over time. Sam_TheSkunkman states he's yet to test a batch of iso and have it come out negative for iso. Even after multiple washings and vacuum purges. Just a heads up.
Do everything I can to avoid moisture, heat, and light which are the enemies of THC and the other compounds contained in cannabis.
I know you're losing some potency just not sure how much. Evaporating quite a few terpenes off and changing the remaining ones structures into something different. Along with modifying the THC into different forms. You need to run some tests and find out what is going on at a chemical level.
I am with you my friend if I'm tripping balls I dont need some piece of paper telling me why ha haI'm currently smoking a box full of bud that was once the nastiest, moldiest, ugliest shit you've ever seen. This was my 'hash box' that moldy stuff got piled in to later convert to hash, which never happened. Now 5+ years later all the mold has disappeared and they're regular buds again. Some of it still smokes pretty good and is fairly potent.
Ask any of the 'experts' on here and they would assure you this bud is 100% ruined and unusable. But what do they know?
No, I really don't brother. I know this method works, from personal experience. It'd be cool if some other people would sack up and give it a try instead of assuming they already know what's going to happen.

Water curing makes poorly grown cannabis 'stronger' and a little more palatable. It completely ruins quality cannabis leaving a flat (and much less potent feeling) effect.Water curing WILL make your weed quite a bit stronger, but you lose basically ALL the terpenes. The reason it is stronger is you lose a bunch of water-soluble weight but leave the majority of the "goods" in the plant material.
Yep. Well, kinda. Definitely improves shit weed. I would never do it to weed I worked a long time on. However, I have smoked water cured high grade and it certainly did NOT have a flat effect. Just tasted like nothing.Water curing makes poorly grown cannabis 'stronger' and a little more palatable. It completely ruins quality cannabis leaving a flat (and much less potent feeling) effect.
I'd be interested in trying what is considered "properly done" logs. I have a bit of interest in the Malwai cobbing as well, we'll see.
Any of y'all got the balls to try this yet?
Good luck on goading people into the cult of BBQed weed.
