Thats the 'method' ive always used, seeing as how N is the main chemical that distorts the buds taste. A friend of mine, who works at a hydroponic shop, said he stopped feeding the plant nitrogen the last 2 weeks of growing, and increased the P and K, to increase the production of glucose, making the buds sweeter. I havent tried it yet, but it seems reasonable. As for curing in water, ive never heard of it. I have a few questions tho, are the buds completely submerged in water, meaning they are actually "in" the water? Did u have any problems with mold? Cool temps like that are mainly used to seperate the thc from the buds (bubble bags), and everything ive heard said thc is best stored under room temps. It takes years for the clorophyll of buds to completely dissipate, if it does indeed ever fully break down, so doing it in "3 days" seems kind of unrealistic, no offense. I think i might do some experiments on some buds, so thx for the info!
sensiskunk Reviewed by sensiskunk on . water cure your plants Hi all 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 Rating: 5
