So you have intrigued me and im intrested in doing part of my harvest in that method check here for details Skylight grow UK. Just wanted to get this straight, once i harvest my buds i submegre them in a container if they float place something on top to keep them under. I have heard somepeople same they keep a lid on this other say do not? what do you guys suggest. Keep this a dark place and replace each day being careful not to distress or move the buds too much. Repeat for 7 days and on the 8th day take my buds out and dry them. I want to know what drying methods you have used as i have hair dryers radiators superser (Gas Heater) what would you use?

I bought an oz the other day. I intend to flick it off as I didn't even want it but some guys I knew (who don't know I grow) wouldn't stop bugging about getting this ounce; "It's the best shit I've seen in a long time man" "It's so sticky its hard to get out of the bag man!" etc. etc. right.

So I get this ounce (at a price a bit higher than I'd normally pay :S) ... And find it is a Skunk hybrid, which I completely expected from these guys - I could pretty much pin down every detail of what this stuff was going to be like before I even saw it, smelled it or heard about it - Now I when I was told it was "so sticky" I had my suspicions that it hadn't been dried or cured properly - if at all!!! - And to my disappointment, I find I'm right.

I now have an oz of fukn poorly manicured, still far too moist, uncured bud right. I store my pot in glass jars, but bud this wet is simply going to go moldy in a few days in jars, so I've decided to water cure it.

Worst still, Indica dominant hybrids are hard to flick off around here, I've converted everybody to Sativa dominant connoisseur strains. Nobody wants the shit that just puts you to sleep anymore, so now I have a shit oz I never wanted that is going to be hard to get rid of!!! Argh!!!

Anyways - Hopefully water curing will get this shit dried and cured properly in no time at all so I can just get rid of the shit lol

Just so you guys get to see just how moist and unbelievably uncured this shit is ... Here's a picture of the water curing process after a few hours. Look at that water after only a few hours of water curing, all that shit would be in someones lungs if this stuff didn't get properly cured. Hate to think of the poor fukers who get all the other shit that hasn't passed through me first!!!
That water was crystal clear just a few hours ago!!!


Note: I despise people who think they're the greatest growers around and these are the results they produce! Shit growers annoy me full stop. Especially when I have to listen to these guys talk about their superior knowledge and skill set, while I struggle to keep my mouth shut and pretend like I don't have a clue about anything to do with growing. :(

Makes me sick. This is my anger being vented lol ... Have a good day all! :)

I hear you man, people that grow half ass and lack the incentive to read, research and learn from others drive me nuts. They just do what they do and turn out mediocre buds that their low rent friends and patients praise them for. I've helped a few of my friends get started after getting their cards and some of them give a shit, others just think its plug and play. I'm still learning new things about the plants, feedings and growing methods years after my first harvest. Meanwhile my patients give me a hard time for my prices, which are very fair, while my friends are supplying their patients with far inferior buds at the same cost.

A friend of mine built a beautiful greenhouse, filled it full of plants (legal amount for my state) and one of them happened to be an auto. It finished, he dried it and called me asking if I wanted to trade 1/4. Hesitantly I said yes. He showed it to me and I think in my head "holy fuck dude did you use scissors to trim this'? lol I mentioned he needed to improve his trim to him politely and told him the bud looked nice. Without investigating it much I weighed the shit and traded him for some lovely White Widow tightly trimmed and cured for only a week or so, I wasn't going to give him my top shelf shit haha. So I left it on my tray until this morning and I trimmed it up better. Lost 1 gram of the 7 from extra trim weight. The bud is moldy inside and out. I told him he best do something to increase ventilation and decrease his humidity or the rest of his crop he's been vegging all summer will be trash. He refuses to be worried and discounts the mold as an early harvest that was under the other canopies. I told him I wasn't going to smoke it and he could have it back because I don't want to smoke mold knowingly. No intelligent person will pay for moldy smoke but he said he sold a zip for 200 to a guy and he was happy as shit. lol to each their own!

Anyhow, I'm going to try a water cure on this and see how it turns out, something to play with. Thanks for the vent session and info on water curing.

hey peeps - hoping to revive this thread, as Im going for a water cure in an attempt to drown some but rot (I read that the water drowns the mould virus).
A couple of things, Ive done it in a pretty small container, so haven't weighted the buds, although I have ensured they are fully submerged, slightly concerned tho, as nearly 48 hours in and the water (changed twice) has remained clear, am I doing something wrong?
I was also wondering if anyones tried infusion the water with different scents to counter the loss of odor/taste - maybe chunks of lemon (although Im guessing the acid from it might not be so good)

Its called a spliff, they're very popular in Europe. I've tried several, and if you enjoy good tobacco I think you would find it very tasty and enjoyable to share with friends, or even alone. I guess for some they like them because they can smoke a small amount of cannabis in a spliff and the smell is not obvious. Beyond that, the average smoker is not into oil, wax or even hash. Concentrates are more or less for edible meds or to be smoked by heavy users. Cannabis today is is incredibly potent, and a spliff is also a great way to enjoy and share a full smoking session. The average smoker only needs two or three hits with the smoke that's available these days, so the session is often cut short. Smoking spliffs can stretch the ritual out to enjoy company and conversation in the altered state of mind which cannabis provides.

Why water down espresso with milk and sweetener?! Well, because its damn tasty for one, and it can enhance the flavor and experience without altering the effects for some people.

Short answer, to each their own. Give it a try!
