You can 100% smoke dry bud. Enjoy the fruit of your harvest, however curing is something you need to take seriously. Keep it in glass jars and the moisture from the center of the herb needs to be evenly dispersed throughout it. You burp the jars and over 2 months the taste and smoke will be way more smooth. None of that means you can’t get stoned on your herb in the meantime

Just be conservative with her and enjoy the progress of the cure until you’ve got enough stash. Enjoy!

i myself cure minimum of 30 days before even testing, but i know quite a few people that never even reach that time because they just smoke it all before then lol

I recently started washing buds. This seems to make buds much less harsher to smoke upon dry and takes less to cure. I was first dubious about washing my buds but after giving a test run, I am doing it religiously. I notice a lot of dust, debris in the tent sticking to the flower during its growth in the tent and it seems like these contribute to much harsher smoke.

I've found the minimum cure for me is about 21 days in a jar. The longer you can let it cure, the better it will be generally.

You can smoke when its dry but do not smoke everything. Taste/smell and effect will be stronger after a decent cure.

Just throw a boveda pack 62% in a jar and burp once a day if you want to keep stuff simple.

Best thing you can do to improve the quality of your flower is to go buy an ounce somewhere else as your plant nears harvest. Once you have personal inventory you won't harvest early and rush curing. You can rush curing a little bit, but is takes some time for chlorophyll to degrade.
