Should I try water curing and make a video with my results?? Hit the like and comment!
Don't do it it's been on the forums to fuck people's grows over and same with curing at high RH.
I “water cure” my AVB since thc isn’t soluble in water it makes edibles taste way better lol
Been there and done it already back in 2010, ruined my harvest, the size of the Buds are smaller, the taste is way off, and if anybody thinks that Chlorine is safer to smoke than regular air cured Buds, have fun. Been growing since 20 Years and ive seen and tried almost all methods of drying and curing Buds, even in foreign countries. Nothing beats the taste and effect of 14 Days dried at 15 Celcius / 60 Fahrenheit, and a realtive humidity of 45-55%. Theres a reason why medicinal Cannabis is dried and cured exactly like i described.
If my bud don’t smell like a dead skunk I don’t want it but now u gotta becareful because now they just inject terps into straight up block work weed and charger 50-80 for a ball
None of us growers have the right to criticize another's techniques, it shows ignorance, there's more than one way to skin a cat
Why
Lol I came upon your channel by seeking information about water curing your 3D resin prints and when I heard you talk about buds….. Hmmm never heard anyone address their 3D resin prints as buds. However 3D resin prints can be water cured I just wanted to see what other channel was doing this not knowing this method was being used for a more organic process. Thanks for sharing your time and knowledge it is always great to learn other fields processing procedures. XD
❤
You could try it on one plant and compare it to another plant
I have done it in the pass. I started smoking with guys from VI n they smoke spliffs – tobacco laced joints. Turns weed black as hell but no smell. So good for smoking at work. U also lost mo weight. 1zip wet = 5 g"s cured n dried. Smooth n bland 😅
George Washington water cured his hemp… definitely nothing new
Might try one jar see if it works
That’s a horrible idea
Oh dang!!!! I'll have to try it. Cheers Mr.Grow it 💚✌🏼
people really do this? Ha. thats insane.
ive heard some crazy crap come down the pipe . this is the craziest. . didnt know it was a thing. no way..
I grow mine indoors, all organic, distilled water at base of plant. Nothing ever sprayed on plants. I want every micro-gram of my terps. Dumbass idea to rinse them away.
It sucks.
This is bullsh!t its been around since the 70’s nothing new and nothing good or everyone would!!
I knew guys who did it in 5 gallons ro mixed with one 12 oz bottle of Peroxide. They would only soak for no more than 5 minutes. Then rinse again in ro. They said it cleaned the buds of all Contaminance. And that's the way they wanted their medicine
Neat
Don’t know how true it is but here in upstate ny we use to get a lot of weed through the Mohawk reservation. It never had a smell at all and people would say it was water cured. This early 2000s. Guess it made it easier to snuggle with no smell
Wack and .makes your herb airy and mids . Ill stay with 60/60 in my dry room .
I think mold
5 to 7 days is wayyy to long! If you're on a hurry to smoke then water cure a bit for about 24 hours, maybe day and a half at the most. Dry it and it will smoke 100x better than just drying a bit out fast to smoke immediately.
The only time water curing should be used is if you want it fast, or if you want/need to minimize the smell from smoking weed.
Water curing was the the trend 15 yrs ago in midlands uk
Ive spilt water on weed before. Water ruins weed. Ive never gotten high off weed that had water spilt on it and allowed to dry back out. Water immediately destroys the quality of the weed. Cannabis also picks up heavy metals if you have alot of heavy metals in your soil, this could be bad as your essentially poisoning yourself with heavy metals. Plants doo need iron to live and so this is for ALL PLANTS. BUT WASHING OR CURING WITH WATER? IN ANYCASE , WEATHER YOU SWIRL YOUR BUDS IN WATER OR WEATHER YOU SOAK YOUR BUDS IN WATER, YOU ARE WASHING OUT ALL THE TERPENES WHICH ACTUALLY GET YOU HIGH. SO APPARENTLY BASE ON THIS. , AND sorry for the caps lock lol; cbd is stored where on the bud. Probably in the oils the trickomes produce but ALL OF THE TERPS ARE LOCKED AWAY INSIDE THE FLOWER ITSELF…. MAKING CONCENTRATES strips the flowers of all the different terps which is why conentrates get you high. Pure trickome Kieffer doesn't have many pieces of plant matter that is boimass. Ever wear plastic gloves while trimming dry weed? With really frost buds, those trickomes fall like dust. It has soight lower order as it cures and the high is different from the high you get from stick icky weed. Wheat forms on your gloves then is legit FINGER HASH; WHICH HAS BETTER CURED ODOR, point being, you ruin your product that way
This sounds like trolling…
This was a "trend" back in the day because it smelled to bad too hang dry plants. 😀 It worked enough to sell it back in the day because nobody cared they just wanted something to smoke 🙂
Just grow organic dude and throw those chemicals away all these methods of ridding your plants of toxins only add to the degradation of the product, grow organic with plant compost and clean water only.
I tried it with some of the popcorn from a grow a few years ago, It did work, sort of, but it turned some very fragrant Girl Scout Cookies into something that looked like a bag of old leaves and completely killed the fragrance. It was like smoking something that you found in a jar after three years, if you know what I mean. Not bad weed but not weed you'd chose to buy. But give it a go and make a vid, it's an interesting technique.
I've done this a few times over the years and got 3 beneficial take aways from it. The smoke is WAY smoother, the cure time is shorter, and the edibles I've made were really good. Downsides are less weight, bag appeal, and definitely a loss in terps/flavor. I've never noticed a loss in potency. Try it with a small amount and compare for scientific purposes 😊
I'm not sure I would try this as I'm a fan of sticky resin glads and water is used to remove glands, moreso the drying process is critical to obtaining smells and characteristics that define different types of cannabis. This sounds like bud mold to me or a risky dry after this wash.. it was entertaining ATM thank you
Can we talk about marijuana next
Thanks
Never heard of this before, thanks for bringing it to my attention😃
(Subbed)
Who's putting nasty chemicals on their buds in the first place
How does it affect terpenes/flavors?
RIP common sense ❤
I would love to see you try this for science and report back.:-) Really wonder how much this could reduce smell for live rosin
Interesting but just another reason to grow all natural all organic and keep up with soil
