curing with rum

a chap told me about 25years ago that when he used to cure his gear, he used to put a drop of rum in the jar, he said the alcahol used to stop it going moldy, anyone herd of that or do something simlar

hmm im not sure about that, im not really sure how it would work, alcohol would evaporate leaving just them rum...are u maybe talking about a green dragon incture where you soak ur weed in alcohol which absorbes the THC leaving u with a very high thc content drink???

never lol i wouldn't do it IMO jus do it the good ol fashion way

i think he used an air tight jar to stop the alcohol evaporating and i dont think he took the top off, iam just wondering if he partly cured it before adding the rum

thats what the man said, adds a bit of flavour

putting a drop of rum in your weed while cure would MAKE your weed moldy, not pervent it. Remeber rum is actually 60% water. If you want to prevent mold dry your weed properly. I always hear people say put it in a jar when it kind moist and opent the jar evry day till it get dry.. This dosent not work an its a perfect way to ruin your weed. Dry your weed until it is crspy crispy bone dry I say. When you jar it be very carfl the bud are so dry the might crumble. Seal up the jar and open it the next day. there is still alot of moister in the stem and it will be dran out into the buds and even it up. your bud should be crispy any more and you migh even want to leave them out again.

Have you ever smoked a ghurka cigar? they come glass tubed and soaked in a very fine cognac... if this is what bad smoke is like... bring on the nasty....

some people cure using some lemon or orange rind for flavouring...

Time is your friend in the drying and curing....

you put it in the jar to pull the moisture from the stem back into the bud itself meaning it goes into the jar dry. People are using orange or lemon slices when they have some dry ass weed and want to moisten them back up a bit by pulling the moisture out of the fruit slices. When curing as mentioned the last thing you want to do is ADD moisture of any kind unless you have some shwag that is too dry and you want to moisten a bit. whatever you do let us know how it wnt
