Should I try water curing and make a video with my results?? Hit the like and comment!

[shaunclos]

That would be a cool experiment. You could even just soak half of the buds and hang the other half of the plant traditionally, that way you could compare taste/smell/affects results of each technique from the same plant. Could be interesting!

Damn this makes me feel so old and im only in my early 30s. My buddys dad since I can remember has always grown and he talked about this when I was at least 13-14. He totally is against it and one of his buddys ruined a lot of his harvest "Water curing". So thats always been a no for me just because if the OG's were telling me not to im going to listen.

I tried it with an ounce. It makes the buds look washed out, almost grey. Makes it taste almost woody but in a stem kinda way, not a gg4 way. They shrink more than they otherwise would once dried and the bag appeal looks awful. The terps are all gone and the high isnt the same.

Been watching you for years. Because of your information you have passed over the years, I have become Mr. Grow It! People come to me for growing info all the time now because of what you have taught me. Your channel changed my life, thank you

I've done this a few times over the years and got 3 beneficial take aways from it. The smoke is WAY smoother, the cure time is shorter, and the edibles I've made were really good. Downsides are less weight, bag appeal, and definitely a loss in terps/flavor. I've never noticed a loss in potency. Try it with a small amount and compare for scientific purposes 😊

[jaketaylor]

Your Terps will be completely gone.. Trust me tried it before. Smoke was smoothest than ever tho

I appreciate your balanced well organized video conversations. No BS and your interview style keeps things on track while sharing ranges of information. I think adding short focused segments such as this is a great idea and a valuable teaching technique. I believe it will expand your audience while affording those of us who follow you interesting insights. So, yes more like this!

I've been enjoying your program for years, this is my first response, I've used many techniques that you use your self but this will not be one of them, trident true, cut it, dry it, jar it, humidity packs, and yes burp it😂, will continue to enjoy your program, Thanks for all you do, BBB

Find out about this in the mid-seventies. My next door neighbor was in Florida for a couple years and they got a bale of cannabis that washed up on the shore. I saw how the leaves were curled and discolored from the water. Pretty crazy way to find that out. Looking forward to your next video catch you on the flip side my brother. ✌️

If I wanted bud soup, I'd make some bud soup. I'll stick to jars and bags haha

[UpInSmoke]

what I grow and I would never waste any doing this.

[tru_vision_bulliez]

The smell an taste is a very important part I would never do anything to reduce turps

[Killamanekam]

See the fact that you never done it and just had me watch this video is insane!

[alphaomega]

To each his own, ill just keep hanging mine.

Thanks @MrGrowit your video short on the topic was more balanced and less synical than other youtubers. Remaining impartial is an important step when analysing something that is different to what we're used to.

I had to water cure for a couple of years when I lived in a condo in a highrise tower. I had no space for a separate drying area and drying in my grow space meant postponing my next grow. More importantly, preventing any odors from escaping was absolutely mandatory. Water curing solved both of these problems.

Water cured buds lose a lot of their smell, yes.
Water cured buds shrink and lose weight, yes.
Water cured buds lose color and bag appeal, yes.
But if you lived in prohibition-land and had the option of this or nothing at all, what would you choose?

In my experience water curing did not provide a superior end product, but it did solve problems that would have otherwise prevented me from producing my own medicine.
I now live somewhere else and I air dry and cure ONLY. I am however grateful for my experience, even if it was forced, as now I have a skill and knowledge that I previously did not.

Never heard of this before, thanks for bringing it to my attention😃

This was rad, definitely do a video of you trying it, that would rock, thanks for sharing Chris!

Don’t know how true it is but here in upstate ny we use to get a lot of weed through the Mohawk reservation. It never had a smell at all and people would say it was water cured. This early 2000s. Guess it made it easier to snuggle with no smell

This was a "trend" back in the day because it smelled to bad too hang dry plants. :D It worked enough to sell it back in the day because nobody cared they just wanted something to smoke :)
