water cure, I did it.

As an experiment I kept nuting one of my WW till the harvest day to see if there was a better yield. As I was expecting I yielded 90gr more than the other WW that have been flushed 2 weeks prior the harvest. As for the smoke I did not enjoy as much as I enjoyed flushed harvest. It was harsh to tongue, good high but hard smoke. So I decided to give it a shot and applied water cure for the first time. I dipped a bud under water for seven days with cahnging water every day.
Result is somehow good. The bud lost its bag appeal and its aroma but not the potency. In fact the smoke got much smoother and the high got better.
SO if you think it is not too much work you can nute till the last day and water cure the harvest.
below you can compare a water cured bud to non cured one, the smaller and brownish one is water cured.

No deal Noel.

lmao! Noel Edmunds!

Water cure is the shit! Although tbh, i've only tryed it twise.

i aklso did this with m last plant
came up well, nice smoke and increased potency.
how did it affect the potency of ur bud?

Curing it in a airtight jar WITH a 2week nutrient stop tastes the best imo. If you don't want to stop giving nutrients 2 weeks before harvest you could stop giving water 4 days before harvest and shut down the lights 2 days before harvest.

That improves the taste also, not as much as the nutrient stop for 2 weeks but It's still a nice and easy smoke.

hard to tell the difference but it is very potent after the cure.

I strongly believe you are high. It did not make sense 2 u cause either u did not read the post or u are not capable of understanding it at this moment.

why don't you just fertilize up until 2-3 days b4 harvest then do a final flush. There... now you get big buds and no nasty taste..make sure you flush it thoroughly....well then you'll get the best of both worlds. toke on...!!

Your nugs probably don't look too beautiful once they're smoked :D

All that comes after you cash a bowl is the high.

I'd smoke the shittiest looking bud I could find if it got me as high as top quality dank would.
