ive just heard of water curing for the first time ever, could somebody please explain what it is? and how it works? thank you
thanks for letting me know. im still not sure whether ill ever try it, im not sure if its a waste?I water cured half a grow last year and it worked pretty good. Although I got some complaints about no taste or weird taste and mild headaches from heavy use. I can't see it has any purpose except if you have bud rot, like in my case. I read that it would kill any residual spores, so after cutting out all the attacked buds I threw the good ones in the water. Nobody got sick from it, but then again I can't say if the water cure played a part in that or not.
What does turbo drying mean to do? Sounds like a hasty way to dry a pretty delicate bud.You need to turbo dry as soon as it comes out of the water other wise it will mold.
Since the water has taken care of the curing part and leached all the chlorophyll out of it already there is no reason to slow dry.
Whenever I see someone talking about smoking discreetly, I half the time wish they would just smoke out of their car and do it nonchalantly outside. You can pass it off well with a joint, just be careful. Most public smoking I think should never be a bad thing, unless there are 50,000 cigarette smokers out my window. But change that to pot smokers, bring some food we'l have a party!I water cure 1/4 of my harvests.
Gives a completely different experience while smoking since has close to a wood flavour but the end result after having smoked is exactly the same as the air cured stuff.
The other 3/4 I normal slow air cure since its nice to have the smell and flavours.
But there is always times when you wish that smell wasnt there and this is when the water cured stuff is good. I basically go out to the movies once a week with my partner and cant watch a 3D movie with out being high.
The water cured stuff I can smoke outside the theatre with ever one else smoking tobacco and not have any one question what im smoking since the smell is that of herbal tobacco. Then go back inside with out having my cloths sinking while im surrounded by a large crowd of people.
Before I water cured stuff I would have to have a smoke in my car and keep spare shirt and jacket in my boot to change into after having a smoke. Then dose myself with body spray.
Theres no reason to use h2o2 unless you have a problem with your buds. But then im the type of person that would just throw any bad buds away.
I just use tap water for the first 5 days of the water curing changing daily.
Last 2 days I use RO water; Then turbo dry it in oven on 50C which takes about 1-2 hours.
And Jar it over night with some of the air curing buds from the harvest, This last step returns the water cured stuff from being brittle and flaky from the turbo dry to being some what pliable again.
