nute till harvest?

[latewood]

I read an interesting article about using nutes till the last day..The article suggests that as long as you water cure the buds for seven days you can nute the plant till harvest which increases your total yield.

Opinions, comments welcomed

that is flushing...you nute until the last week then you flush with ph'd water for a week to remove, or let the plant use upm all the rest of the available nutes...

seems like something id experiment with maybe but i think flushing for 3 weeks will always be the way 2 go

you never flush for 3weeks!

nope it is not

flushing=flushing which is cutting back the nutes two weeks prior harvesting and giving a nice bath to ladies, 3 times more water is used than the pot size.

water cure= water cure which is submerging the freshly cut buds into water for seven days, changing water every day, this way you get rid of unwanted material such as nutes.....

I still have not heard a good comment/info from you gus...

I am talking about nuting till the last day (harvest day) not the last week

[paparose]

here is the article
"Recently, a new method of curation has developed called water curing. This method is preferred by people that usually do not have enough time, or simply do not want to wait very long for a finished product. This traditionally involves submersing the buds in water for a period of 7 straight days, while changing the water after each day (generally done by using a cooler with drainage). The buds are then dried (most quickly via a small combi-oven [a few minutes]) and are ready to use. Water curation has an advantage that traditional methods do not. Nutrients can be added to the plants up until they are harvested. The water will flush out harmful chemicals (such as the ones used to feed the plans) as well as proteins, sugers, pigments and some resins. This will also increase the THC to weight ratio upwards of 30%. [3]"

With water curing you dry the bud, then submerge it in a tray full of water, get a plate or something to hold it down. Change the water everyday for 7-10 days and you'll end up with better tasting, more potent bud. You wont end with as much as you put in, but thats because the water has removed all the stuff you dont wanna be smoking. It makes it more pure, and therefore a smoother smoke

I think LateWood is talking hydro, and you're talking soil.

....

Anyways,... tsk tsk tsk!!!

Did you search the threads???

There's a very cool thread over in the.... ADVANCED SECTION!!! Ding ding ding!!!

About water curing.... some interesting opinions going on over there...

You should check it out...

[latewood]

well, now that I have read the article, I don't see any guarantees...It is a new method.

and here is a different way of water curing.

Q: What's the water curing method?

-- denzil

A: Water curing is done to remove some of the non-psychoactive water soluable substances in herb. While THC isn't soluable in water, things like proteins, sugars, pigments, and some resins are, and when soaked in water, they are removed from the plant. This can reduce the harsh grassy flavor of poor quality weed, and can increase the THC to weight ratio by as much as 30%. To water cure, loosely place fully dried buds into a glass jar and add luke warm water. The buds must be dry before they can be water cured. Be carefull of the temperature of the water you use as well. Though THC isn't soluable in water, hot water releases THC containing oils that rise to the top. Leave the buds submerged for a few hours, drain the water, repeat the process, and re-dry. The final product will be dark in color and should smoke much less harshly.

Now this guy states it "can" help, not that it definitely helps.
It also states the plant has to be "completely dry"...so that is a week or so after you harvest...Nowhere does it state to chop your plants down and stick them in water for a week; In fact it states, that you should soak them a few hours, then change water, re-soak them a few more hours, then dry them.

what kills me Paparose, is that you haven't done this, you just read an article; Yet, you are so adamant that it works.

I am not saying it doesn't work, but I researched Jorge's Indoor bible (so far, I have found no mention of water-curing in any reference material I have) and I am looking thru more books in my library, including 5 years of hightimes to see if anyone "trusted" in the cannabis community feels that this idea is better than truly traditional curing methods.

I always play devil's advocate, and;

another note...I don't know anyone who flushes for 2 or 3 weeks...flushing is done the last week of flower before harvest. soil or hydro.

I would like to try this, but I have the stickiest-gooiest-frosty buds almost ready for flush...No fucking way, I am going to stick them in a tray of water. Not until further proof is presented to change my mind. latewood

paparose you still never answered...who's gus? and, I still believe, you are stormcooker re-visited
