place bud stems in water to drastically improve chlorophyl consumption after harvest

the slower the cure the better right? but too slow and we get rot etc.

a bud placed in a vase after cutting like a flower keeps for quite a while, just as a flower. now if we do this and place in a dark room the bud will stay alive and healthy eating up all its sugars and converting all its chlorphyl etc. also it is circulating only pure water so it may improve flavor as a flush does too.

what do ya think?

ps. i got the idea after leaving some clone cuttings in a cup of water a few days.

you should put down the pipe for a while. But curing happens after drying. This would just be delaying the drying process really. You would still need to cure after drying.

Why does everyone wanna shock their plants right before harvest? just ride things out smoothly.

i worded poorly, sry. i just want to extend the slow drying process. thought this might be a new good approach.

i dont want to do anything abnormal too the plants before theyre cut.,,,, so when am i shocking them}?

ill still do the cure after standing them in water and drying them normally.

If the bud is fresh and you put the stem into water then it will root. I've tried it, got roots from a bud off of a plant that I had chopped about 4days prior. The calyxes seemed to elongate and produce their own growing shoots, and the damn thing revegged and produced a fine mother for a while.

Crazy...

I know a guy that used to chop and let the whole cut stem sit in a bucket of water for a few days before he'd hang it.

I know a dude who places all the big stalks in buckets of water until he trims them. honestly I dont see much of a digferencr between when he staryed doing this and befpre he started except he added 2.5-3 weeks drying time.
