The Water Cure

[gypski]

I've read about it and supposedly its a quicker curing process then air curing. I understand it takes 7 days of water curing with daily water changes, and then drying in Ron Popeil type herbal dryer for several hours. From what I've read, the finished product contains more THC and all the green tastes and left over nutes are removed. So, my question is, whose tried it and what success did you get? :jointsmile:

It works...you loose some smell and taste it also turns denser its a good way to be able to smoke weed with lots of ferts in it. I believe the correct way to do it is air dry like normal then water cure then air dry again...Wouldn't put it in a jerkey maker unless you just cant wait then its not a bad option

I tried it , it works miracles on herb that was not flushed or things like that, the taste is good, but I think I am used to the regular dry and cure so I like the reg way better, also the bag appeal is gone, when you water cure. I have heard that vaping water cured herb is very nice, but I have never tried it.

I have been wanting to try it with a 1/8 in a glass jar. It is easy , use some thing to keep your bud submersed in the jar. then fill with cold water put in the fridge and at least once a day empty the water (jar ful cold makes the tricomes brittle so do it slowly), and put new cold water in. then put back in the fridge, and repeat every day for 5-6 days. on the 6th 0r 7th day, take out of the water and dehydrate, quickly it does not matter at this point you just want the herb to be dry. a food dehydrate is good for this, as long as it doesn't go above 110 F even a 100 is kinda harsh, you just dont want your tricoms to stick to the machine or stove, pan whatever.

After its dry smoke it, it has less chemicals, almost no chlorophyll, no water if you dried it. during your flushing everyday you will see the Green coming out of the bud and into the water, thats why you put new cold water in at least once a day, its leaching the bad stuff out of the bud after that it is all a matter of getting the water out, with out burring or harming the bud.

Ive heard people that also cure it just 3 days. That would leave a lil flavor I believe. Im gonna try both methods and see what difference they make.imp:

I've tried it too. It does make ugly buds but they are smoother.
