If you think there's bad and misinformation in weed, you should wrap your head around politics.... lawdy.
As with Fishermen, they are born honest, but they get over it.

The same as a dry cure; Mason jars.
I have frozen weed for over a year and it comes out WONDERFUL.
Just monitor the jars for moisture. There must be a hundred threads on mason jars and curing. Good hunting!!

Algae requires light to grow and even in light often takes more than 24 hours to grow, this is why we change the water at least every 24 hours and store in a dark place while water curing, algae can does grow under water, but not without light.

You got "algae" from that post? I couldn't decipher it. Algae is NOT mold, I think that it's rather important to be able to make such a distinction. There may be molds that grow under water, but I have yet to find anything that speaks to such a beast. It would have to be an organism that's evolved to grow in such conditions.

Well bud rot which is what every one is trying to avoid (and rightfully so) is an air born mold. It would not survive total immersion. As for other molds (not in evidence), green phoenix has already explained about keeping the water fresh. I think your worries over mold are unfounded. i have a large harvest coming up, I'll try it on some of it. Thanks GreenP!

hmmm and what about the water still stuck around the buds u dont think that could build up something being submurged that long i know all the water aint coming off those buds when u drain them i think theres quite the possiblity of cross contamination

Well, let's put it this way. Water curing has been around for a long time. There must be something to it. How's that?

When you air dry/cure, the buds are moist/wet (naturally) for anywhere from about 3 days to 3 weeks. When you water cure, the bud is too wet for mold to grow when totally submerged, the water is kept too fresh and in a dark enough place that algae can't grow, and then when you hang dry you're bud is only wet for 12-48 hours (depending on quality of drying area).
The water 'stuck' around the buds is going to be diluted and dispersed quite a lot when the fresh water comes in, there's no way it can get 'stuck' in one place and build up to a point where it creates a problem.
Things can however, go wrong if you don't do this properly and don't change the water, put in a light area, etc. etc.

Yeah, letmeblaze, its almost like a failsafe for if you didnt flush, or if your buds taste like hay. Or if you care more about potency than that full on taste. Which dont be fooled by the process leaching out taste and aroma, when you hit the pipe, you are hitting weed, and whatever THC was on it when you put it in the water. As a matter of fact, if you grow on a personal scale, id say water curing is simply the BEST way to be happy with what you got. It tastes perfect, like perfectly cured weed. Not like broken down perfectly cured weed.

Okay now I don't want anyone to laugh out loud at this(aw, go ahead), but here is a question for any "coasties" out there. What about curing it with seawater?
I only say this because the best way to sweeten up a lobster is to cook it in seawater.
Is that a crazy idea? LOL, You tell me!!

Pack a bowl full of fresh sea salt and spark it up and take a nice big lung full and tell us how she tastes and then I'll give you an answer.
