Rep up dude! I bookmarked this shit. I've been doing the water cure for speed and ease, but mostly cause I've cured hay with air cures. Now I can do a 50/50 spread of air and water curing...I like them both when done right.

does your water curing affect any of the trich's? i told my buddy about it and he sounded pretty skeptical.

It doesn't affect the trichs. Be gentle when you change the water daily. It does effect flavor though. You will not have the same rich flavors from a good air cure, and sweet tasting plants flavors become very muted.

You may flush with reg. ph'd water. There are also items you can purchase like GH Florakleen to help shorten the process from 10-14 days to 3-5.

yeah. i was looking at florakleen or clearex, but i dont wanna spend anymore on this grow. i'm not gonna have much yield, and i'm switchin to dwc after this, so i'll have to buy more expensive nutes, etc. i'll prob just go with spring water.

um no they should be drying out in the bag for about a week, then put in glass mason jars to cure more.
