THC is not waster soluable. It's actually a well known practice to cure this way.

Thanks for the post video.. i am most definitly going to test this on some of my next harvest.

To those out there shooting this down without even attempting to use logic to think about it... i feel sorry for you...

this sounds and looks very plauseable, infact im sure it will work great, i'm just worried about taste.. and of course only personals get cured this way seeing as how the weight drops greatly.

Excellent post on water curing as i think cleaner smoke is the way to go. However i disagree with your potentcy arguement as your logic is flawed, water curing does make the bud more potent when compared to air curing, as the THC doesnt break down in water as it would when air drying, but the potency does not actually increase when water dryed. Using your example of 100 grams of bud with 15% THC content before cured, when the buds are water cured youll have 70 grams of bud with a 15% THC content as water curing does not increase THC, but rather decreases plant mater, chemicals, chlorophyl, etc. So while you have a cleaner smoke it is actually not increasing its potency.

seeing as I've got a rarely used dehydrator already, I should give this a try sometime.

Intriguing for sure. Never heard of this before but I think I will try this with some of my harvest in the next few weeks. Very good find!

Ill wait to see some testimonials before i throw my meager harvest in the drip but it sounds plausable. Though isnt the flush period satisfactory enough for great tasting buds?

I've never done it this way before however, i DO see the logic behind it..

So check it out guys... someone said before that they didn't believe it would work because you're using water to dry it.. wrong, that's not what video is saying...

You are putting your bud into the water for a week to flush out all that nasty shit that makes you cough up a lung...

After the flushing has commenced, THEN you DRY the bud with an dehydrater from wal-mart.. whatever..

also.. I think someone did not understand the math behind the potency..

With 100 grams of weed initially @ 15%THC.. so with 100 grams, you have 15 grams of pure THC.. then you do your water flushing, dehydrater process.. and your left with 70 grams of weed... The THC is NOT water soluable, so the same 15% @ 100g is no longer correct since you only have 70 grams of bud left.. so take that original 15 and divide with 70.. and wal-la, you now have 21.43% of THC in your 70 grams of bud.. it makes since when you work it out..

great post video!

chronic luka, dude.....you are the shiznic! You get an A +, please come to the head of the class!
Nah, all kidding aside, you obviously understood this perfectly. All of it too.

This is not titled "water drying" this is curing your buds, like a fine whiskey gets cured. Doing it this way, is:
(A) healthier
(B) faster
(C) more potent end product
After you "cure" it, you'll still need to dry it, but that is only a few hours more work, and this is alot faster than a one month cure, as thats how long air drying takes!

Again, please let me re-state, this is NOT for product to be sold, you'd loose your shirt, this is only for your personal stash.

And everyone will have there own personal opinion when it comes to taste, my wife hates this idea, she wants to taste the pot smoke.
for me, as I have stated I have weak lungs and could use a break on the coughing fits. lol

Now, in all honesty, I will cure mine the more traditional way, however, I will also cure some this way too. So while I am waiting I have something to smoke. After I do it, I'll know more, and post back here for you.
