My first H20 cure

CannaBoss · #1 10-26-2007, 10:56 PM

Hey guys,
so I was curious on water curing so I decided to try one plant.
My electric haze. I fed in nutes all the way up to the day of harvest.
I read a post by i think videoman saying it needs 7 days, although I trust videomans methods, I had to see for myself how it tastes after 3,4,and 5 days. It is definitely getting smoother after 5 days but is not quite done, I can see that 7 days will probably do. It makes it darker and dank, but really hasn't lessened the potency at all. I don't know if any pros do this but it's kind of fun trying something different. I let you know what I think in 2 more days. word

ive smoked it b4 its all good,u can tell water cured buds for air dry\jar cured buds.

i prefer water cured for an overly strong tasting bud to reduce some of the taste and increase potency per amount of bud weight. although i look more into potency than anything, so it isnt for some connoisseurs who prefer taste over potency.
ive found that god bud is spectacular when water cured. in my opinion the plant taste like the crystall's taste overpowers the bud taste anyways so why not water cure to reduce the amont that i have to smoke and decrease time from harvest to bowl?

true true,
So doing the water cure somewhat increases potency? Why, because the vegatative mass shrinks while the glands stay the same?

exactly plant matter decreases and the chemical content of thc stays the same. most people dont understand that easily

Ok 7 days, and the herb has been out of the h2o long enough to trim the outer part of the bud for sampling, yep 7 days! It's now really smooth and ultra head-potent. My eyes feel as if they are bugging out of their sockets.
Electric Haze. Dark haze resinous calyxes, fuckin' way medicated right now.
Was a fun experiment and works quite well. Pleasantly suprised.

I'd do this again, especially if you don't have time to do a proper flush.

The water needs to be exposed to air the whole time so that the stuff that leeches out in the water can evaporate away. You can't just seal a bag.
