ima try the water cure method..beats the hell out of air dryin..thanks man..+ rep...but i have 2 quick questions..when you say less taste..wat do you mean??..so if im growin something fruity...i wont be able to taste it when i smoke it??..and if you are plannin to sell...can you still water cure..or will it take some of it's weigh away??

I mean the chlorophyll and chemicals left in the plant when using synthetic nutrients. Usually you flush all that sort of shit out by feeding the plant nothing but pure water for 1 - 2 weeks before harvesting, but when water curing you don't need to flush so you can feed right up to the chop and the water cure will remove all that shit that flushing usually removes.
Smoking pot that has been grown with synthetic fert and not flushed, then air dried/cured is often very harsh and can irritate the throat and lungs as well as tasting like chemicals. Hope that answers your question somewhat.

To answer question two first, you can still water cure when selling but yes it will weigh less than an air dry/cure and will look dark green and/or brown which can be less appealing to some people, once they try it though they'll know it's good.
I think I made an example of the weight thing somewhere else, I'll find it and post it here:
It was posted here somewhere:
Comparing - Air and Water - Cure (w/pics)
I think it explains the weight thing (as well as potency issues) in there somewhere haha.
To answer your first question about the taste; you will still be able to taste it, but the flavour won't be as strong or may even be completely different to what it is when air dried/cured. If you've ever air cured bud for over a year you will notice the taste, smell and high is often altered, water curing does the same thing but a bit differently and far more rapidly.
It effects the taste of different buds in different ways and I've never done it with fruity bud so can't tell you exactly what you should expect, but it will be different, maybe you'll consider it better, maybe worse, it really depends on your own personal preferences.

I recommend reading through the thread I posted the link to above, it may answer some other questions you have.

Cheers.

Sick method, and SICK buds. Couldn't help but noticing your roach is HUGE, is it my eyes playing tricks on me or is it that big for a reason?

Just easier with a big roach, i hate small roaches with a passion hahaha. It didn't need to be as big as it is, but that's just how it turned out

So...does it mean you go straight to water jar from plant without hang drying first?

Sure does. You hang dry it after the water cure, takes about 24-48 hours to dry once hung. You may want to put something, like a towel, under them coz they will be dripping water when you first hang them, but trust me, they dry fast.

I'm not trying to sell anything here haha, just give the info to the people seeking it.
I do highly recommend trying it with a small portion of your harvest, even just one bud if your paranoid or simply not that keen, I wouldn't recommend doing it with your entire harvest, specially if you're guna be selling it. But for personal use, definitely recommend trying it with at least a small amount.

Cheers!
