its good for turning brick weed into something potent and lightly flavored. It is also good for turning shade leaf into something smokeable. For good dank buds it is overkill, the strength is already there, plus you lose a LOT of flavor, the weed becomes so mild.
Learn on the traditional methods first. Nice homegrown bud doesn't need to be processed like that.
I've never done it. I like the way buds taste on their own, but it does work, and you should learn about it if you want to. Homegrown does not need to be processed like that, but if the results of watercuring appeals to you, as it does many growers, then learn about it and proceed with it.
i just heard it takes a lot of nasty shit outta the bud and the smoke is more enjoyable.

I normally cure a small amount with water just to have some 'stealth' smoke. The rest is done in mason jars.
All MJ should be cured in some way. Organic stuff usually just needs a week or two to get the remaining moisture leached out and then it is good to go. Anything grown with synthetic should be cured for a month or three...
I did not vote in the poll but my answers are solid.
a friend of mine turned cured some BB buds I gave him with water.
It absolutely took all of the flavor out of the bud. It also made it less potent.
The length of cure isn't dependent upon organic vs. chemical ferts; chemical ferts must be leached during the final two weeks of flower. Once the plant is cut, they're there, and they aren't going anywhere. A long cure will bring out the finest flavors in bud grown in any manner.
Why learn traditional methods first? So you don't reinvent a perfectly functional wheel. Most of us simply have as a goal a soft, tasty, potent smoke, and that's attainable with dry-curing in mason jars.
but i hear that it lowers weight but the lowered weight is just nasty shit you dont wanna smoke and the same amount of thc.Quote:
