GreenX How to's... How to Water Cure (w/pics)

Nice TUT man, seems like you've covered everything. Probs gona give this one a go with a sample.

Here's one plant from my harvest. First pic is the mother plant and will be dry cured. The bottom half is going to be wet cured (2nd pic). The countdown begins ..


out.

I tried it and i LOVE it. It is excellent for my PERSONAL use nugs. ( I initially tried it cause I got spider mites) I would do it without any pest problems too.

I don not like the taste of weed but I do LOVE being high.
I like to smoke on my lunch break and don't want to go back to work smelling like weed. THANK YOU +REP. Now I love weed even more cause I can smoke it comfortably.

I would not do this with my flavored weed and such but for reg weed YES! Quick and easy. No the weed wasnt pretty but I didn't have to look at it long cause I SMOKED IT

Nice!

See, I do not lie! ... Great for discrete smoke!

I personally take quality over presentation any day when it comes to weed...

Cheers.

Early days yet, but here's a sneak peak at my current AK grow!
They're around half way through flowering currently, almost time for them to start fattening up!

So, I got really drunk and put some weed through the wash with my pants without noticing it. Do you guys think a water cure would "cure" it?

Yip probably would, although it's probably already partly cured by the washing machine haha. And depends on how broken up it is I guess

This is an Awesome thread!!! gonna have to try this one +rep GreenphoeniX

Well it was in a baggie, and all the buds stayed together, they just shrunk to about half the size, I'm on day two now..we'll see how she goes. The water didn't really change colour or smell too much but I don't really feel like smoking soap.

It was about a half quarter so I'd say its worth trying to fix, plus I've never smoked water cured weed so it'll be nice to try.

I tried this way and I like it. I did mine for 6 days. I have a review on the other thread about comparison.

As to all you haters, if you think "it ruined your bud" or something, then you are nuts. It was marginal from the get-go.

I bought an oz the other day. I intend to flick it off as I didn't even want it but some guys I knew (who don't know I grow) wouldn't stop bugging about getting this ounce; "It's the best shit I've seen in a long time man" "It's so sticky its hard to get out of the bag man!" etc. etc. right.

So I get this ounce (at a price a bit higher than I'd normally pay :S) ... And find it is a Skunk hybrid, which I completely expected from these guys - I could pretty much pin down every detail of what this stuff was going to be like before I even saw it, smelled it or heard about it - Now I when I was told it was "so sticky" I had my suspicions that it hadn't been dried or cured properly - if at all!!! - And to my disappointment, I find I'm right.

I now have an oz of fukn poorly manicured, still far too moist, uncured bud right. I store my pot in glass jars, but bud this wet is simply going to go moldy in a few days in jars, so I've decided to water cure it.

Worst still, Indica dominant hybrids are hard to flick off around here, I've converted everybody to Sativa dominant connoisseur strains. Nobody wants the shit that just puts you to sleep anymore, so now I have a shit oz I never wanted that is going to be hard to get rid of!!! Argh!!!

Anyways - Hopefully water curing will get this shit dried and cured properly in no time at all so I can just get rid of the shit lol

Just so you guys get to see just how moist and unbelievably uncured this shit is ... Here's a picture of the water curing process after a few hours. Look at that water after only a few hours of water curing, all that shit would be in someones lungs if this stuff didn't get properly cured. Hate to think of the poor fukers who get all the other shit that hasn't passed through me first!!!
That water was crystal clear just a few hours ago!!!


Note: I despise people who think they're the greatest growers around and these are the results they produce! Shit growers annoy me full stop. Especially when I have to listen to these guys talk about their superior knowledge and skill set, while I struggle to keep my mouth shut and pretend like I don't have a clue about anything to do with growing.

Makes me sick. This is my anger being vented lol ... Have a good day all!

I read your whole thread, thanks for the information. The water cure is especially attractive to anyone that's had mold or pest problems during air dry and jar cure, if you even think you're going to have those kinds of problems, water cure is a guaranteed way to safeguard your harvest.

I have half a pound of the prettiest, densest nugs in water right now, day 2. I don't sell my weed (since it's more valuable to me than cash), and I don't care about weight/smell/looks, so this method was appealing to me.

Another point that I didn't see mentioned in this thread regarding water curing is that water cured bud leaves the absolute minimum amount of taste and color in your edibles. If you're going to cook, I wouldn't consider anything but water cure.

Someone above said that MH isn't suitable for flowering.. while it's not as ideal as HPS, it can produce very dense nugs; the harvest I have curing now was vegged with T5 and flowered with a 400w MH. I can post pics of these buds if you want proof of density.

Hey Phoenix i am trying your water cure right now..... just put some nugs in the jar sitting in water. Right now it really hot where i live around 90s so i was thinking of a place to store them for 7 days, a nice cool, dark place and i thought of my frig. What do you think should they be ok in there ?? Will it get to cold for them ? This was my first grow not sure what went wrong but it taste like shit i hope this helps. Thanks agian for the Thread on DIY Water Cure

Fridge should be fine. Freezer is obviously a no go hahaha. I haven't tried the fridge, but don't see it being a problem. Mind the smell though :/

right on man, yea i have a small little fridge i use for my beer, so right now i have nugs and beer mmmm i love that little fridge!

great post man.never heard of water curing

Yea one plant in 20L DWC bucket - With just airstones to keep water active. From memory it was topped at about 2 weeks and then each of those tops topped again a week later, then a week or so after that went to 12/12. Side branches weren't trimmed, but lower growth that was not doing anything was removed early in flowing ... Long veg period, but good result. I'm doing something similar with my next setup, again it'll be something new to me!!! Can't wait to see the results!
