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
