water cure your plants

Some people swear by water-curing.

does he put the stems in water and let them uptake water or does he put the bud in the water as if hed put the bud in the water it would wash of most of the trichomes

Water curing is very common.I personally stop nutes at 14 days from cutting.Although, all the posts I've read on this, are more like a 7 day soak.

Wtf is up with the page of ads...

I found this way to cure your plants and decided to try it.
I got a cooler, filled it part way with water, added some ice to get the water temp to 50 f. Cut my plants down and submerged them for 3 days, changing the water every day. After 3 days i dryed them as i normally do. Once dryed they are ready to smoke, no other cureing is necessary. No brown paper bags , no glass jars, no more waiting. The finished product is some of the smoothest smoke i've ever had. I used a glass plate to keep them under water. I wasn't sure about this method after i read it but i gave it a try and from now on all my plants will be getting the water cure. The plants , after 3 days under water looked like the day i cut them down, fresh and firm.
Any one else ever try this way before?
Any questions , i'll be happy to answer them
peace

Thank you heart,
I tried the 3 day water cure on my last crop and it is a thing of beauty. Three days in the water, and 2 days dry, and they came out beautiful.
Thank you again!!!

you filter it to catch any that fall off, but your careful and do it right, not a significant amount should come off

not to mention the fact that thc is NOT water soluble (at least not at those temps. It would take much more heat than that to extract them, as at boiling poin). Schmuck? Interesting, i believed heart meant to submerge the entire plant.
