The one thing I'd be bugged out about the water curing is the fact trichomes could get removed -- a lot of trichomes.

How does that bud feel anyway -- sticky at all? I know it looks like you could scrape off some trichomes to use as an adhesive, if only a minor one.

I wonder if sticking the buds in individual Ziploc bags filled with cold water, then placing the bags in an ice chest full of ice would do any good.

Or just go along with water curing them all in one large container, but only filter the water after each change with some silkscreen. Then you could probably salvage some of the lost trichomes for garbage hash.

I just need to come up with a curing method soon, preferably something quick -- already have a refrigerator for a chamber.
